I take your point Findegil , and it is a good one, however why did Cirdan feel it necessary to give Narya to aid Gandalf, if the power to kindle mens hearts was already there, why would he need a Ring to support him:

For this is the Ring of Fire, and herewith, maybe, thou shalt rekindle hearts to the valour of old in a world that grows chill.

Maybe Saruman did have the power already, but maybe that power was enhanced by the Ring, maybe Saruman made his Ring to aid him in exactly the same way Cirdan describes the benefits of wielding Narya to Gandalf.
