I don't have time to chase down sources, but Tolkien Gateway says they conferred "powerful magical abilities and gave them the ability to influence peoples' will." The LOtR Wiki says "they each acquired great power and wealth, became powerful Sorcerers [...] and appeared to have eternal life, for they did not age."– DavidWCommented Jun 2, 2020 at 16:52

3Neither of those are "powers" of the One Ring, but side effects. While the One Ring was specifically designed to allow Sauron to exert his will over the users of the other Rings, no explicit details are ever given as to what the other Rings actually do.– chepnerCommented Jun 2, 2020 at 17:06

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
