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 861 Views
I wouldn't think so... - 21/12/2009 02:37:39 AM 920 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 448 Views
Rand did it - 21/12/2009 04:41:54 AM 845 Views
Honey, you're confused. - 21/12/2009 04:56:02 AM 842 Views

Beg to differ - 21/12/2009 05:21:01 AM 728 Views
beg harder :p - 21/12/2009 05:26:28 AM 864 Views
Which is exactly what I said earlier *NM* - 21/12/2009 05:28:36 AM 335 Views
Saidin and saidar are the same Power. - 21/12/2009 05:27:50 AM 891 Views
OK, that clears it up for me... *NM* - 21/12/2009 05:30:01 AM 404 Views
No problem. *NM* - 21/12/2009 06:58:22 AM 300 Views
You're allowed to be wrong. - 21/12/2009 05:30:15 AM 893 Views

I stand (sit really) corrected. - 21/12/2009 05:47:09 AM 909 Views
I'm kind of with BlackAdder on this... - 21/12/2009 10:45:09 AM 953 Views
Can TP users link with OP users, or even link at all? *NM* - 21/12/2009 02:40:36 PM 431 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 1122 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 823 Views
The name "True Power" is simply Shadow propaganda. *NM* - 21/12/2009 04:18:25 PM 472 Views
What about the "bloody Power"? Band of the Red Hand propaganda? *NM* - 21/12/2009 06:14:16 PM 393 Views
*shrug* RJ could have easily justified a more unique name - 22/12/2009 05:09:09 PM 897 Views
It's precisely the intention... - 22/12/2009 05:43:55 PM 787 Views
The reason 'two halves of a whole' is relevant... - 21/12/2009 06:51:07 PM 907 Views
Yeah, I think it would probably destroy the body of the person attempting it. - 21/12/2009 06:27:50 PM 753 Views
Hmm - 21/12/2009 07:42:14 PM 823 Views
Haven't we already seen the effects of mixing TP and OP... - 21/12/2009 09:50:18 PM 863 Views
Could just be two balefire streams trying to undo each other. - 21/12/2009 11:25:31 PM 640 Views
This may be important at the LB - 22/12/2009 11:36:53 AM 893 Views
I find that unlikely. - 22/12/2009 08:57:24 PM 784 Views
It has to be important sometime - 22/12/2009 09:10:46 PM 872 Views
Such as showing how close Rand came to being the Shadow's Champion? *NM* - 22/12/2009 09:35:25 PM 426 Views
If that's the only purpose, awesome story potential has been wasted *NM* - 22/12/2009 09:51:51 PM 431 Views
Ì'm with Gher on this one. - 22/12/2009 10:27:48 PM 838 Views
Good point. Fighting the DO with the TP is an Aridhol mindset. *NM* - 22/12/2009 10:40:02 PM 383 Views
Heh, the abbreviations made me laugh just now. *NM* - 22/12/2009 10:40:48 PM 412 Views
He used the evil TP to balefire evil Semi. Be on the alert for Mordeth. *NM* - 23/12/2009 12:05:33 AM 725 Views
And the title of that chapter is "The Last that Could be Done" - 23/12/2009 02:54:35 AM 809 Views
I would venture to say 'No' - 22/12/2009 07:47:50 PM 749 Views
