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* Gher - 21/12/2009 01:03:26 AM 923 Views
I wouldn't think so... vandevere - 21/12/2009 02:37:39 AM 1059 Views
I don't think anyone would have a reason to try and channel both powers at once *NM* Ryan - 21/12/2009 04:22:40 AM 514 Views
Rand did it BlackAdder - 21/12/2009 04:41:54 AM 964 Views

The context of the conversation should've been the clue. Phelix - 21/12/2009 05:07:40 AM 1130 Views
Beg to differ BlackAdder - 21/12/2009 05:21:01 AM 860 Views
beg harder :p Nargs - 21/12/2009 05:26:28 AM 988 Views
Which is exactly what I said earlier *NM* BlackAdder - 21/12/2009 05:28:36 AM 393 Views
Saidin and saidar are the same Power. Fanatic-Templar - 21/12/2009 05:27:50 AM 1013 Views
OK, that clears it up for me... *NM* BlackAdder - 21/12/2009 05:30:01 AM 463 Views
No problem. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 21/12/2009 06:58:22 AM 355 Views
You're allowed to be wrong. Phelix - 21/12/2009 05:30:15 AM 1027 Views

I stand (sit really) corrected. Phelix - 21/12/2009 05:47:09 AM 1038 Views
I'm kind of with BlackAdder on this... jiggy - 21/12/2009 10:45:09 AM 1085 Views
Can TP users link with OP users, or even link at all? *NM* Shadowkiller - 21/12/2009 02:40:36 PM 495 Views
Good questions! I was just wondering if there are a male and female halves of the TP. jiggy - 21/12/2009 02:50:41 PM 1261 Views
There definitely are not two half of the TP (btw, anyone else irritated at the name similarity?) beetnemesis - 21/12/2009 04:02:31 PM 966 Views
The name "True Power" is simply Shadow propaganda. *NM* Etzel - 21/12/2009 04:18:25 PM 534 Views
What about the "bloody Power"? Band of the Red Hand propaganda? *NM* BlackAdder - 21/12/2009 06:14:16 PM 449 Views
*shrug* RJ could have easily justified a more unique name beetnemesis - 22/12/2009 05:09:09 PM 1022 Views
It's precisely the intention... Etzel - 22/12/2009 05:43:55 PM 907 Views
The reason 'two halves of a whole' is relevant... Fanatic-Templar - 21/12/2009 06:51:07 PM 1018 Views
Yeah, I think it would probably destroy the body of the person attempting it. Gher - 21/12/2009 06:27:50 PM 870 Views
Hmm BlackAdder - 21/12/2009 07:42:14 PM 944 Views
Haven't we already seen the effects of mixing TP and OP... Shadowkiller - 21/12/2009 09:50:18 PM 997 Views
Could just be two balefire streams trying to undo each other. Gher - 21/12/2009 11:25:31 PM 761 Views
This may be important at the LB caltman - 22/12/2009 11:36:53 AM 1029 Views
I find that unlikely. Fanatic-Templar - 22/12/2009 08:57:24 PM 925 Views
It has to be important sometime Shadowkiller - 22/12/2009 09:10:46 PM 1007 Views
Such as showing how close Rand came to being the Shadow's Champion? *NM* Gher - 22/12/2009 09:35:25 PM 498 Views
If that's the only purpose, awesome story potential has been wasted *NM* Shadowkiller - 22/12/2009 09:51:51 PM 492 Views
Ì'm with Gher on this one. Fanatic-Templar - 22/12/2009 10:27:48 PM 971 Views
I disagree. Rand almost destroyed the Pattern. That's pretty big IMO. Gher - 22/12/2009 10:39:00 PM 820 Views
Good point. Fighting the DO with the TP is an Aridhol mindset. *NM* Gher - 22/12/2009 10:40:02 PM 450 Views
Heh, the abbreviations made me laugh just now. *NM* Gher - 22/12/2009 10:40:48 PM 474 Views
He used the evil TP to balefire evil Semi. Be on the alert for Mordeth. *NM* BlackAdder - 23/12/2009 12:05:33 AM 883 Views
And the title of that chapter is "The Last that Could be Done" Fanatic-Templar - 23/12/2009 02:54:35 AM 927 Views
I would venture to say 'No' RugbyPlayingAshaman - 22/12/2009 07:47:50 PM 869 Views
