BISS here is the answer to your question.
In The Lord of the Rings, the power of the Elves wanes as Sauron grows stronger because their magical abilities in Middle-earth are directly linked to the Three Rings of Power, which are in turn bound to Sauron's One Ring. As Sauron gains strength, the "fading" of the Elves accelerates, and they are forced to either leave Middle-earth for the Undying Lands or become diminished, hidden, and weakened.
Here is why the Elven power fades as Sauron rises:
The "Backdoor" in the Rings: Although Sauron did not directly forge the Three Elven Rings (Narya, Nenya, and Vilya), they were made using techniques he taught to the Elven-smiths of Eregion. Consequently, the Three were "bound up" with the One Ring and subject to its power.
Preservation vs. Corruption: The Elves used their rings to preserve their realms (like Lothlórien and Rivendell) from the decay of time. However, because their magic was linked to the One Ring, if Sauron regained his power, their protected realms would be exposed. If the One Ring was destroyed, the Three would lose their power, resulting in the fading of the Elven realms anyway.
The "Fading" of the Elves: Elves are tied to the fate of Middle-earth, which was corrupted by Morgoth (Sauron's master). Without the power of the Rings to hold back time, their spirits gradually consume their bodies, turning them into invisible "shadows" of their former selves.
The Arrival of the Age of Men: Beyond the immediate threat of Sauron, the Elves recognize that their time in Middle-earth is ending regardless of the war's outcome. Their power is meant to diminish to allow the Age of Men to begin.
Ultimately, the destruction of the One Ring, while necessary to defeat Sauron, also causes the Elven rings to fail, prompting the final departure of the Elves from Middle-earth.

Many thanks for this amazing journey Biss. The "you bow to no one" scene is one of the best in all cinema history, and yes I cried too. The whole production team of these movies did all their best and really managed to create these unique films that are peak cinema.

Biss you did a better job than I did first time watching the ending. I was crying my eyes out. I still get a little weepy eyed after all these years later. Damn onions.

At the end when Frodo leaves on the boat, he's doesn't really mean he's going on another adventure. It sort of represents a spiritual death and he is passing into the afterlife.
