According to BS, it is VERY DIFFICULT, but not impossible to use the True Power without the Dark One's direct permission.

It seems quite likely that when Rand drew on the True Power through his link with Moridin, the Dark One thought it was Moridin asking for permission to use the True Power.

The Dark One's ultimate intention was to capture Rand and to break him down at his leisure while a captive of the Domination Band and Semirhage at Shayol Ghul. The result of this use of the True Power is that Rand escaped, and the Dark One has lost a valuable asset in Semirhage.

The aim of the Shadow has been to capture Rand since around and about Book 6, where they also had a hand in the Red Ajah's capture of him. Basically, Rand's use of the True Power destroyed one of the key plans of the Shadow, if not their PRIMARY plan.

I think Moridin has kept his link to Rand a secret from the Dark One - as it is a weakness he obviously is trying to hide. His personal worries about Rand's injuries affecting his own health have seeped through his commands to the other Chosen. So there is some conflict arising between his own interests, and that of the Dark One.

The Dark One has now obviously found out how the True Power was used by Rand. My question is, what will be the consequences for Moridin?

Will he lose favour with the Dark One because of this episode?
