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 857 Views
I wouldn't think so... vandevere - 21/12/2009 02:37:39 AM 914 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 443 Views
Rand did it BlackAdder - 21/12/2009 04:41:54 AM 838 Views

Re: Honey, you're confused. BlackAdder - 21/12/2009 05:04:15 AM 874 Views
The context of the conversation should've been the clue. Phelix - 21/12/2009 05:07:40 AM 966 Views
Beg to differ BlackAdder - 21/12/2009 05:21:01 AM 721 Views
beg harder :p Nargs - 21/12/2009 05:26:28 AM 856 Views
Which is exactly what I said earlier *NM* BlackAdder - 21/12/2009 05:28:36 AM 332 Views
Saidin and saidar are the same Power. Fanatic-Templar - 21/12/2009 05:27:50 AM 883 Views
OK, that clears it up for me... *NM* BlackAdder - 21/12/2009 05:30:01 AM 400 Views
No problem. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 21/12/2009 06:58:22 AM 296 Views
You're allowed to be wrong. Phelix - 21/12/2009 05:30:15 AM 884 Views

I stand (sit really) corrected. Phelix - 21/12/2009 05:47:09 AM 901 Views
I'm kind of with BlackAdder on this... jiggy - 21/12/2009 10:45:09 AM 946 Views
Can TP users link with OP users, or even link at all? *NM* Shadowkiller - 21/12/2009 02:40:36 PM 428 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 1115 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 814 Views
The name "True Power" is simply Shadow propaganda. *NM* Etzel - 21/12/2009 04:18:25 PM 469 Views
What about the "bloody Power"? Band of the Red Hand propaganda? *NM* BlackAdder - 21/12/2009 06:14:16 PM 390 Views
*shrug* RJ could have easily justified a more unique name beetnemesis - 22/12/2009 05:09:09 PM 890 Views
It's precisely the intention... Etzel - 22/12/2009 05:43:55 PM 779 Views
The reason 'two halves of a whole' is relevant... Fanatic-Templar - 21/12/2009 06:51:07 PM 900 Views
Yeah, I think it would probably destroy the body of the person attempting it. Gher - 21/12/2009 06:27:50 PM 745 Views
Hmm BlackAdder - 21/12/2009 07:42:14 PM 815 Views
Haven't we already seen the effects of mixing TP and OP... Shadowkiller - 21/12/2009 09:50:18 PM 856 Views
Could just be two balefire streams trying to undo each other. Gher - 21/12/2009 11:25:31 PM 632 Views
This may be important at the LB caltman - 22/12/2009 11:36:53 AM 884 Views
I find that unlikely. Fanatic-Templar - 22/12/2009 08:57:24 PM 775 Views
It has to be important sometime Shadowkiller - 22/12/2009 09:10:46 PM 865 Views
Such as showing how close Rand came to being the Shadow's Champion? *NM* Gher - 22/12/2009 09:35:25 PM 423 Views
If that's the only purpose, awesome story potential has been wasted *NM* Shadowkiller - 22/12/2009 09:51:51 PM 428 Views
Ì'm with Gher on this one. Fanatic-Templar - 22/12/2009 10:27:48 PM 830 Views
I disagree. Rand almost destroyed the Pattern. That's pretty big IMO. Gher - 22/12/2009 10:39:00 PM 677 Views
Good point. Fighting the DO with the TP is an Aridhol mindset. *NM* Gher - 22/12/2009 10:40:02 PM 379 Views
Heh, the abbreviations made me laugh just now. *NM* Gher - 22/12/2009 10:40:48 PM 409 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 716 Views
And the title of that chapter is "The Last that Could be Done" Fanatic-Templar - 23/12/2009 02:54:35 AM 798 Views
I would venture to say 'No' RugbyPlayingAshaman - 22/12/2009 07:47:50 PM 742 Views
