Thank you for such a through post! It makes my curiousity wonder what would be a long post!

There are very sharp differeneces between the silmarils and the rings. I suppose why I was asking because of the power the silmarils seemed to have over the holder despite the striking origins. This power is also seen in the master ring where the holder would grow increasingly twisted by the hunger to keep it and have its power. May be it is the over way around.
