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 Sidious - 30/10/2009 03:24:22 PM 1367 Views
don't forget you can't touch the true power without the DO's permission mazza3 - 30/10/2009 03:31:25 PM 1144 Views
I think he will overlook it Sidious - 30/10/2009 03:46:25 PM 1142 Views
It also might be that Rand used Moridin as a conduit, making the DO's permission irrelevant. RandAllThor - 30/10/2009 03:58:04 PM 1095 Views
Indeed... Moridin is definitely worried about the connection Sidious - 30/10/2009 03:59:59 PM 1215 Views

i agree it was def in the DO's best interests to give it to rand THEN, just not when.... mazza3 - 30/10/2009 05:57:03 PM 1252 Views
Seems to me destroying the DO with balefire would take a force equal to his. The Name With No Man - 06/11/2009 09:57:47 AM 989 Views
I think the TP IS the DO - sealing the Bore with it is illogical and impossible. Lord Haart - 27/11/2009 12:13:29 AM 915 Views

Hello! The TP can only be used with permission! fionwe1987 - 30/10/2009 10:45:58 PM 1121 Views

you're counting on the DO of being absent minded? Japhy - 17/04/2010 10:59:41 PM 927 Views
The Foresaken had their permission revoked, but the DO can enact consequences on them... FanEditor10 - 29/04/2010 04:35:27 AM 1093 Views
I think using the TP against the DO is wishful thinking. redhand - 31/10/2009 04:33:33 PM 1030 Views
