You are quite right Rhod , we do not know and we can only surmise, which of course is the whole point of this website. What we can do is look at how the others rings worked and interacted with their bearers. I do not believe that Narya worked for Cirdan in the same way as it did for Gandalf, this I believe is due to the differing inherent power of each individual. One of Sarumans powers was that of his voice, could his ring have enhanced his desire to bend others to his will?.
