The context of the conversation should've been the clue. Phelix Send a noteboard - 21/12/2009 05:07:40 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.


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* - 21/12/2009 01:03:26 AM 814 Views
I wouldn't think so... - 21/12/2009 02:37:39 AM 855 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 410 Views
Rand did it - 21/12/2009 04:41:54 AM 792 Views
Honey, you're confused. - 21/12/2009 04:56:02 AM 780 Views

Beg to differ - 21/12/2009 05:21:01 AM 669 Views
beg harder :p - 21/12/2009 05:26:28 AM 811 Views
Which is exactly what I said earlier *NM* - 21/12/2009 05:28:36 AM 304 Views
Saidin and saidar are the same Power. - 21/12/2009 05:27:50 AM 837 Views
OK, that clears it up for me... *NM* - 21/12/2009 05:30:01 AM 369 Views
No problem. *NM* - 21/12/2009 06:58:22 AM 269 Views
You're allowed to be wrong. - 21/12/2009 05:30:15 AM 826 Views

I stand (sit really) corrected. - 21/12/2009 05:47:09 AM 824 Views
I'm kind of with BlackAdder on this... - 21/12/2009 10:45:09 AM 893 Views
Can TP users link with OP users, or even link at all? *NM* - 21/12/2009 02:40:36 PM 402 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 1063 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 752 Views
The name "True Power" is simply Shadow propaganda. *NM* - 21/12/2009 04:18:25 PM 441 Views
What about the "bloody Power"? Band of the Red Hand propaganda? *NM* - 21/12/2009 06:14:16 PM 370 Views
*shrug* RJ could have easily justified a more unique name - 22/12/2009 05:09:09 PM 835 Views
It's precisely the intention... - 22/12/2009 05:43:55 PM 728 Views
The reason 'two halves of a whole' is relevant... - 21/12/2009 06:51:07 PM 852 Views
Yeah, I think it would probably destroy the body of the person attempting it. - 21/12/2009 06:27:50 PM 693 Views
Hmm - 21/12/2009 07:42:14 PM 763 Views
Haven't we already seen the effects of mixing TP and OP... - 21/12/2009 09:50:18 PM 804 Views
Could just be two balefire streams trying to undo each other. - 21/12/2009 11:25:31 PM 580 Views
This may be important at the LB - 22/12/2009 11:36:53 AM 825 Views
I find that unlikely. - 22/12/2009 08:57:24 PM 716 Views
It has to be important sometime - 22/12/2009 09:10:46 PM 816 Views
Such as showing how close Rand came to being the Shadow's Champion? *NM* - 22/12/2009 09:35:25 PM 395 Views
If that's the only purpose, awesome story potential has been wasted *NM* - 22/12/2009 09:51:51 PM 397 Views
Ì'm with Gher on this one. - 22/12/2009 10:27:48 PM 780 Views
Good point. Fighting the DO with the TP is an Aridhol mindset. *NM* - 22/12/2009 10:40:02 PM 355 Views
Heh, the abbreviations made me laugh just now. *NM* - 22/12/2009 10:40:48 PM 376 Views
He used the evil TP to balefire evil Semi. Be on the alert for Mordeth. *NM* - 23/12/2009 12:05:33 AM 662 Views
And the title of that chapter is "The Last that Could be Done" - 23/12/2009 02:54:35 AM 746 Views
I would venture to say 'No' - 22/12/2009 07:47:50 PM 687 Views
