I have stumbled on an inconsistency -- maybe -- in Ring Lore. We are told Sauron had to imbue his Ring with his very essence to amp it up to critical threshold, enough to subsume dominance over the lot.

Sauron did not touch the Three. I don't see anywhere anything about 'three Elves' pouring 'their essences' into Elvish Rings, (or for that matter, any vampiric 'nett draining' of Elvish People's on mass). So how did Celebrimbor manage to create *three* Rings - one of which if we look at Galadriel's realm halted time or something.

Was the Time Stop effect unique to her Ring. What was the "special" power equivalent of Ereinion's Ring (the most powerful) and the Third - Fire. So what.

Does anyone know?
