you know I've thought about this, too. I think it must have something to do with him being an elf maybe. Some sort of ideal or even limitations related to killing men, atleast good men. Which Ilsidor was even though he was already falling under its power. Maybe he did'nt just how destructive it would be even for a good man. It was over 3000 years befor Bilbo found it maybe he didn't know all it was capable of yet. Or he had to let man fall to his own destruction even if it meant the fall of ME.<BR>It was 3000 years ago but even then Elrond may have known the fall of the elves power was coming. This may be too bookish instead of movie?
