That makes no sense... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 10/03/2012 09:21:19 PM
Your theory hinges upon Rand drawing on Saidin and the TP together, or being in a circle where the TP and Saidar are used together. But RJ has said that the TP and the OP have unpredictable reactions together. We also have the crossing balefire streams as evidence for this. Which makes it highly unlikely someone can channel both and survive. That is, if one person can access two sourcesb of power at the same time in the first place!

So quite apart from the thematic issues others pointed to, there are practical issues with your idea too.

Anyway, you're taking the wrong message from Rand's statement about having to touch the DO last time. The solution is not: touch him with something else. The solution is to not touch him at all.

RJ addressed this ... I had a similar thought several years back and this quote was floated my way darius_sedai - 07/03/2012 04:18:01 AM 1359 Views
