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.
vandevere's post made it sound like it could apply to any of the three. *shrug*

Can a channeler embrace and use the True Power and the One Power at the same time? *NM*

I wouldn't think so...

I don't think anyone would have a reason to try and channel both powers at once *NM*

The context of the conversation should've been the clue.

Can TP users link with OP users, or even link at all? *NM*

Good questions! I was just wondering if there are a male and female halves of the TP.

There definitely are not two half of the TP (btw, anyone else irritated at the name similarity?)

The name "True Power" is simply Shadow propaganda. *NM*

What about the "bloody Power"? Band of the Red Hand propaganda? *NM*

Yeah, I think it would probably destroy the body of the person attempting it.

Such as showing how close Rand came to being the Shadow's Champion? *NM*

If that's the only purpose, awesome story potential has been wasted *NM*

I disagree. Rand almost destroyed the Pattern. That's pretty big IMO.

Good point. Fighting the DO with the TP is an Aridhol mindset. *NM*

He used the evil TP to balefire evil Semi. Be on the alert for Mordeth. *NM*
