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 906 Views
I wouldn't think so... - 21/12/2009 02:37:39 AM 1022 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 491 Views
Rand did it - 21/12/2009 04:41:54 AM 934 Views
Honey, you're confused. - 21/12/2009 04:56:02 AM 936 Views

Beg to differ - 21/12/2009 05:21:01 AM 817 Views
beg harder :p - 21/12/2009 05:26:28 AM 954 Views
Which is exactly what I said earlier *NM* - 21/12/2009 05:28:36 AM 369 Views
Saidin and saidar are the same Power. - 21/12/2009 05:27:50 AM 974 Views
OK, that clears it up for me... *NM* - 21/12/2009 05:30:01 AM 443 Views
No problem. *NM* - 21/12/2009 06:58:22 AM 335 Views
You're allowed to be wrong. - 21/12/2009 05:30:15 AM 981 Views

I stand (sit really) corrected. - 21/12/2009 05:47:09 AM 1005 Views
I'm kind of with BlackAdder on this... - 21/12/2009 10:45:09 AM 1039 Views
Can TP users link with OP users, or even link at all? *NM* - 21/12/2009 02:40:36 PM 473 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 1220 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 920 Views
The name "True Power" is simply Shadow propaganda. *NM* - 21/12/2009 04:18:25 PM 516 Views
What about the "bloody Power"? Band of the Red Hand propaganda? *NM* - 21/12/2009 06:14:16 PM 428 Views
*shrug* RJ could have easily justified a more unique name - 22/12/2009 05:09:09 PM 988 Views
It's precisely the intention... - 22/12/2009 05:43:55 PM 871 Views
The reason 'two halves of a whole' is relevant... - 21/12/2009 06:51:07 PM 992 Views
Yeah, I think it would probably destroy the body of the person attempting it. - 21/12/2009 06:27:50 PM 843 Views
Hmm - 21/12/2009 07:42:14 PM 902 Views
Haven't we already seen the effects of mixing TP and OP... - 21/12/2009 09:50:18 PM 964 Views
Could just be two balefire streams trying to undo each other. - 21/12/2009 11:25:31 PM 734 Views
This may be important at the LB - 22/12/2009 11:36:53 AM 986 Views
I find that unlikely. - 22/12/2009 08:57:24 PM 880 Views
It has to be important sometime - 22/12/2009 09:10:46 PM 970 Views
Such as showing how close Rand came to being the Shadow's Champion? *NM* - 22/12/2009 09:35:25 PM 476 Views
If that's the only purpose, awesome story potential has been wasted *NM* - 22/12/2009 09:51:51 PM 475 Views
Ì'm with Gher on this one. - 22/12/2009 10:27:48 PM 929 Views
Good point. Fighting the DO with the TP is an Aridhol mindset. *NM* - 22/12/2009 10:40:02 PM 430 Views
Heh, the abbreviations made me laugh just now. *NM* - 22/12/2009 10:40:48 PM 453 Views
He used the evil TP to balefire evil Semi. Be on the alert for Mordeth. *NM* - 23/12/2009 12:05:33 AM 828 Views
And the title of that chapter is "The Last that Could be Done" - 23/12/2009 02:54:35 AM 891 Views
I would venture to say 'No' - 22/12/2009 07:47:50 PM 839 Views
