Re: The OP is the good guy power Ryan Send a noteboard - 27/07/2010 05:27:45 AM
Does the one power derive its source from the Creator? There seems to be balance in the WoT world. If the DO has a special power for his followers to use, e.g. the True Power, then there should be a special power for the good guys to use. Is that special power the One Power or is there a third power we haven't seen used yet (or maybe only saw used at the end of EotW?


The Creator has given the OP to mankind as a gift. Only a corrupted soul can access the TP, so while it may seem like they have the advantage, they've fallen very far to gain it.


But it doesnt make sense to me that the DO can grant or deny access to his essense (the TP) yet, if the OP is the Creator's gift, a corrupted soul (even so far as one that uses the TP) still has access to the Creator's gift. Why should the DO be able to grant and deny access, but the Creator cannot? IMO it indicates that the OP is not the Creator's essence gifted to a person because there would be an imbalance between the two sides.


Because the Creator gives it unconditionally. The Dark One on the other hand grants it conditionally. The Creator will not interfere, the Dark One does just that. The Creator supports free will, the Dark One does not. I don't think the Creator would even if it could take away the Power from someone. Just a thought imo.
The past is just that, the past. You can only truly live by looking to the future!

The 2 sides are not balanced equally, they are anathema to each other. CatherineSedai - 23/07/2010 12:14:53 AM 770 Views

It isn't. The Creator bought the True Source (the OP) into being to drive the Wheel of Time. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 22/07/2010 10:58:44 PM 685 Views
