No... you're right. beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 30/10/2009 07:02:05 PM
I thought Lews Therin said, we used HIM. I thought the true power IS the dark one, not just his separate reserve of power but actually HIM. Am I wrong?



The True Source IS the Dark One. Or, at least, it's his essence. Using the True Power AGAINST the Dark One seems... unwise, if not impossible.

You can only use it with his express permission (though maybe Rand used it through his link to Moridin.) Anytime you channel with it, the DO is aware of it.


I highly, highly doubt you'd be able to reseal the DO in with the True Power- it'd be like building a chest with the hammer locked inside said chest.


(It does have a neat symmetry, using the DO's power to seal the bore. Can't be a counterstroke, because the DO IS the counterstroke. I could see it being rationalized, I just don't think it will be.)
I amuse myself.

I agree with you - 30/10/2009 03:24:22 PM 1284 Views
don't forget you can't touch the true power without the DO's permission - 30/10/2009 03:31:25 PM 1081 Views
I think he will overlook it - 30/10/2009 03:46:25 PM 1078 Views
It also might be that Rand used Moridin as a conduit, making the DO's permission irrelevant. - 30/10/2009 03:58:04 PM 1040 Views
Indeed... Moridin is definitely worried about the connection - 30/10/2009 03:59:59 PM 1148 Views
Right - 30/10/2009 04:06:26 PM 1262 Views
Seems to me destroying the DO with balefire would take a force equal to his. - 06/11/2009 09:57:47 AM 910 Views

where'd you get the number of Rand's Asha'man? - 30/10/2009 10:12:00 PM 901 Views

No... you're right. - 30/10/2009 07:02:05 PM 961 Views

You are incorrect - 27/12/2009 10:44:36 PM 885 Views
you're counting on the DO of being absent minded? - 17/04/2010 10:59:41 PM 849 Views
I think using the TP against the DO is wishful thinking. - 31/10/2009 04:33:33 PM 965 Views
Generally agree. - 06/11/2009 09:07:57 AM 1009 Views
