Honey, you're confused. Phelix Send a noteboard - 21/12/2009 04:56:02 AM
and so did a bunch of others at the Cleansing.

Of course, they were all in circles, but Rand, for example, was able to weave both saidin and saidar.

So yes, it's possible to use both at the same time, but so far no one has embraced both at the same time.


The One Power (aka saidin and saidar ) and the True Power (the Power that the DO gives to his select followers) are what Gher is talking about. The original question is: Is it possible to weave both the One Power (the force of creation that drives the wheel of time) and the True Power (the force of destruction granted by the Dark One to his followers)?

Most likely, the answer is "No." Antithetical powers and all that.
I was Phelix on wotmania, I will always be Phelix in the "real" world, and now I am Phelix on RAFO.

Can a channeler embrace and use the True Power and the One Power at the same time? *NM* - 21/12/2009 01:03:26 AM 860 Views
I wouldn't think so... - 21/12/2009 02:37:39 AM 915 Views
I don't think anyone would have a reason to try and channel both powers at once *NM* - 21/12/2009 04:22:40 AM 447 Views
Rand did it - 21/12/2009 04:41:54 AM 841 Views

Re: Honey, you're confused. - 21/12/2009 05:04:15 AM 876 Views
The context of the conversation should've been the clue. - 21/12/2009 05:07:40 AM 972 Views
Beg to differ - 21/12/2009 05:21:01 AM 725 Views
beg harder :p - 21/12/2009 05:26:28 AM 861 Views
Which is exactly what I said earlier *NM* - 21/12/2009 05:28:36 AM 334 Views
Saidin and saidar are the same Power. - 21/12/2009 05:27:50 AM 888 Views
OK, that clears it up for me... *NM* - 21/12/2009 05:30:01 AM 402 Views
No problem. *NM* - 21/12/2009 06:58:22 AM 298 Views
You're allowed to be wrong. - 21/12/2009 05:30:15 AM 889 Views

I stand (sit really) corrected. - 21/12/2009 05:47:09 AM 906 Views
I'm kind of with BlackAdder on this... - 21/12/2009 10:45:09 AM 948 Views
Can TP users link with OP users, or even link at all? *NM* - 21/12/2009 02:40:36 PM 430 Views
Good questions! I was just wondering if there are a male and female halves of the TP. - 21/12/2009 02:50:41 PM 1119 Views
There definitely are not two half of the TP (btw, anyone else irritated at the name similarity?) - 21/12/2009 04:02:31 PM 820 Views
The name "True Power" is simply Shadow propaganda. *NM* - 21/12/2009 04:18:25 PM 471 Views
What about the "bloody Power"? Band of the Red Hand propaganda? *NM* - 21/12/2009 06:14:16 PM 392 Views
*shrug* RJ could have easily justified a more unique name - 22/12/2009 05:09:09 PM 894 Views
It's precisely the intention... - 22/12/2009 05:43:55 PM 782 Views
The reason 'two halves of a whole' is relevant... - 21/12/2009 06:51:07 PM 904 Views
Yeah, I think it would probably destroy the body of the person attempting it. - 21/12/2009 06:27:50 PM 750 Views
Hmm - 21/12/2009 07:42:14 PM 819 Views
Haven't we already seen the effects of mixing TP and OP... - 21/12/2009 09:50:18 PM 860 Views
Could just be two balefire streams trying to undo each other. - 21/12/2009 11:25:31 PM 635 Views
This may be important at the LB - 22/12/2009 11:36:53 AM 888 Views
I find that unlikely. - 22/12/2009 08:57:24 PM 779 Views
It has to be important sometime - 22/12/2009 09:10:46 PM 867 Views
Such as showing how close Rand came to being the Shadow's Champion? *NM* - 22/12/2009 09:35:25 PM 425 Views
If that's the only purpose, awesome story potential has been wasted *NM* - 22/12/2009 09:51:51 PM 430 Views
Ì'm with Gher on this one. - 22/12/2009 10:27:48 PM 833 Views
Good point. Fighting the DO with the TP is an Aridhol mindset. *NM* - 22/12/2009 10:40:02 PM 382 Views
Heh, the abbreviations made me laugh just now. *NM* - 22/12/2009 10:40:48 PM 411 Views
He used the evil TP to balefire evil Semi. Be on the alert for Mordeth. *NM* - 23/12/2009 12:05:33 AM 721 Views
And the title of that chapter is "The Last that Could be Done" - 23/12/2009 02:54:35 AM 805 Views
I would venture to say 'No' - 22/12/2009 07:47:50 PM 744 Views
