The name "True Power" is simply Shadow propaganda. *NM*

The reason the True Power was originally tapped (or, at least, the reason Mierin and Beidomon gave) was that by eliminating the difficulties that come from forcing saidin and saidar to work together, even more Cool Stuff could be done.*
So no, there aren't two halves of the True Power. Boys and girls get the same tasty evil!
The name True Power bugs me, though. Really, RJ, you couldn't have thougt of ANYTHING else? One Power, True Source, True Power... sheesh.
*I wonder if eliminating the opposition between saidar and saidin would actually make things better. I mean, one of the metaphors of the two powers is that they work against and with each other at the same time, like two millstones (or two hands pushing against each other and up as hard as they can). I believe that very opposition gives the boost in power that doesn't come from single-sex channeling

Can a channeler embrace and use the True Power and the One Power at the same time? *NM*

I wouldn't think so...

I don't think anyone would have a reason to try and channel both powers at once *NM*

The context of the conversation should've been the clue.

Can TP users link with OP users, or even link at all? *NM*

Good questions! I was just wondering if there are a male and female halves of the TP.

There definitely are not two half of the TP (btw, anyone else irritated at the name similarity?)

What about the "bloody Power"? Band of the Red Hand propaganda? *NM*

Yeah, I think it would probably destroy the body of the person attempting it.

Such as showing how close Rand came to being the Shadow's Champion? *NM*

I disagree. Rand almost destroyed the Pattern. That's pretty big IMO.

Good point. Fighting the DO with the TP is an Aridhol mindset. *NM*
