Part 5/8:

Reason Behind Sauron's Awareness

Isaac explains that the original texts clarify that Sauron could not sense the Ringbearer merely by wearing the Ring; it was the actions and circumstances surrounding its use that determined this awareness. In the films, however, this was adjusted to create an urgent narrative.

Gandalf’s Warning and Magical Artifacts

Gandalf’s advice to both Bilbo and Frodo against using the Ring frequently suggests a deeper understanding of its dangers. The warning is valid, especially considering that Middle-earth is filled with powerful magical artifacts. If Frodo were to encounter another such artifact while wearing the Ring, Sauron would indeed be able to sense him.
