Don’t think of powers in Tolkien like spells or magic abilities in dnd. The closest thing that Tolkien explains is that he can see and dominate the other rings, which in the 3rd age means mostly the elven rings. Because the rings of the humans he already has bagged, and the dwarven rings failed and/or are lost. For one, he doesn’t become invisible, because in the 3rd he he has lost his body already and in the 2nd age he exists in both worlds anyway (a mortal ringbearer becomes invisible because he shifts into the other world). But, what Tolkien never explicitly says is what you can extrapolate from the text. Since Sauron put much of himself into it, he could probably do everything stronger then what he is doing already in the 3rd age: dominating orcs, roping wizards and kings, spew forth smoke and poison. That is the reason why all orcs die when the ring is finally destroyed, because so much of Saurons will is inside the ring.
