"The Great Lord is master of all, and by basking in his glory we are imbued with his Dominance. With the Dominance, we can exert our will over all that we behold! This is not just a "power," but true control!"
Would have made equally as much sense as the True Power, and made for a bit of varied terms.
Would have made equally as much sense as the True Power, and made for a bit of varied terms.
To remind you of the One Power and the True Source. The combination in True Power shall make clear that it's a Power like the One Power, but usable by both genders like the True Source. The name True Power also suggests that it's more powerful than the One Power (you actually feel such an ecstasy, if you use the True Power). Of course, the terrible price you pray for this drug isn't mentioned, though.
Therefore I think it's a pretty clever name to deceive people by glorifying the DO's power and at the same time trivialize its prize (better than e.g. the "Dark Power" ). As said, Shadow rhetoric, maybe comparable to the name "Ministry of Truth" for the Propaganda Ministry in Orwells' 1984 or other cynical names/rhetoric invented by dictatorships.

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

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.

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?)

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

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