good points Maedros!
It does beg the question of : was it the ring, or Saurons innate ability as a Maia that enabled his reimbodiment? Im not sure what canon has to say about that. IMO your right most def after the last Alliance. But IMO, the post Numenor destruction w/o the ring Sauron would have regained the same form as he was post Last Alliance with the ring. If that makes sense at all...

My point on the things was this: it seemed to me that the underlying theme here was how world shaking they were. Not a paradox but an enigma (for lack of a better word). They are both sub-creations within a sub-creation within...etc....
