Also, it should be remembered that Sauron's Ring was as powerful as it was because of the native strength of its creator, with which it was imbued. Saruman's native power was inferior even to Gandalf's (especially following his return from death), let alone Sauron's. No matter how great his skill, Saruman could never have made a Ring to rival Sauron's.

Actually, this makes me wonder -- if the power of Sauron's Ring comes from some of his own power that he passed into it, where did the power of the Elven Rings come from?
