Son of Númenor has just left Hobbiton.
Quote:
But I'm curious as to how many times he can be killed?
As I said, there is no set amount.
Quote:
It's like he has constantly renewable forms he can take, but there comes a point when he can no longer assume a fair form, such as after Numenor.
The only explanation is that the number of times he could assume another form before being unable to take a 'fair form' is subject to the whim of Eru.
Quote:
If that's so, how did the Ring's demise cause him to lose form?
The Ring was tied to him. When the Ring was destroyed, he lost the power to have a physical form or a 'potent spirit' (to misquote the movies) within Middle-earth.
Quote:
Where did his spirit go?
What remained of Sauron's 'spirit' went into the Void with Morgoth. The part that was destroyed with the Ring was, um, destroyed.
Quote:
Do mortals have the power to thrust Maia into the Void?
No.

I hope that helps.
