The reason 'two halves of a whole' is relevant... Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 21/12/2009 06:51:07 PM
... is because they are meant to be complementary. They are meant to be used together. So obviously, it is no surprise that they can. The True Source - that is, both halves - turn the Wheel of Time.

The True Power and the True Source, on the other hand, are like oil and water. Actually, that's pretty much the actual description given every time the True Power Taint of saidin is referenced.

This doesn't mean that one can't use the True Power and One Power at the same time, though I would personally assume not, since they come from antithetical divinities, but it does demonstrate that the principle thta applies for the halves of the One Power does not apply to separate Powers.
The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

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 815 Views
I wouldn't think so... - 21/12/2009 02:37:39 AM 856 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 411 Views
Rand did it - 21/12/2009 04:41:54 AM 793 Views
Honey, you're confused. - 21/12/2009 04:56:02 AM 781 Views
Re: Honey, you're confused. - 21/12/2009 05:04:15 AM 822 Views
The context of the conversation should've been the clue. - 21/12/2009 05:07:40 AM 909 Views
Beg to differ - 21/12/2009 05:21:01 AM 670 Views
beg harder :p - 21/12/2009 05:26:28 AM 812 Views
Which is exactly what I said earlier *NM* - 21/12/2009 05:28:36 AM 305 Views
Saidin and saidar are the same Power. - 21/12/2009 05:27:50 AM 838 Views
OK, that clears it up for me... *NM* - 21/12/2009 05:30:01 AM 370 Views
No problem. *NM* - 21/12/2009 06:58:22 AM 270 Views
You're allowed to be wrong. - 21/12/2009 05:30:15 AM 828 Views
Re: You're allowed to be wrong. - 21/12/2009 05:42:50 AM 813 Views
I stand (sit really) corrected. - 21/12/2009 05:47:09 AM 826 Views
I'm kind of with BlackAdder on this... - 21/12/2009 10:45:09 AM 895 Views
Can TP users link with OP users, or even link at all? *NM* - 21/12/2009 02:40:36 PM 403 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 1067 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 755 Views
The name "True Power" is simply Shadow propaganda. *NM* - 21/12/2009 04:18:25 PM 442 Views
What about the "bloody Power"? Band of the Red Hand propaganda? *NM* - 21/12/2009 06:14:16 PM 371 Views
*shrug* RJ could have easily justified a more unique name - 22/12/2009 05:09:09 PM 838 Views
It's precisely the intention... - 22/12/2009 05:43:55 PM 729 Views
The reason 'two halves of a whole' is relevant... - 21/12/2009 06:51:07 PM 854 Views
Yeah, I think it would probably destroy the body of the person attempting it. - 21/12/2009 06:27:50 PM 696 Views
Hmm - 21/12/2009 07:42:14 PM 765 Views
Haven't we already seen the effects of mixing TP and OP... - 21/12/2009 09:50:18 PM 807 Views
Could just be two balefire streams trying to undo each other. - 21/12/2009 11:25:31 PM 582 Views
This may be important at the LB - 22/12/2009 11:36:53 AM 827 Views
I find that unlikely. - 22/12/2009 08:57:24 PM 718 Views
It has to be important sometime - 22/12/2009 09:10:46 PM 818 Views
Such as showing how close Rand came to being the Shadow's Champion? *NM* - 22/12/2009 09:35:25 PM 396 Views
If that's the only purpose, awesome story potential has been wasted *NM* - 22/12/2009 09:51:51 PM 398 Views
Ì'm with Gher on this one. - 22/12/2009 10:27:48 PM 781 Views
Good point. Fighting the DO with the TP is an Aridhol mindset. *NM* - 22/12/2009 10:40:02 PM 356 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 665 Views
And the title of that chapter is "The Last that Could be Done" - 23/12/2009 02:54:35 AM 749 Views
I would venture to say 'No' - 22/12/2009 07:47:50 PM 689 Views
