Re: That makes no sense... Sidious Send a noteboard - 11/03/2012 08:54:11 AM
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!

Yes I agree that this would be a serious risk. I don't think they will attempt to meld the flows. Its entirely possible that Rand will create a barrier with the TP and after that initiate the actual sealing.

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.

Well that's your opinion, which I don't agree with. I think it implies that something must touch the DO... Lews Therin said as much.
