Was Rand evil to channel the True Power? Sidious Send a noteboard - 12/01/2010 05:31:34 PM

Do you think it's an evil act - just touching the True Power? Lews Therin said 'IT IS HIM', so Rand knew pretty much what he was touching.

Do you think that touching the True Power is...

1. Evil. It's like a moral test for Rand. Either you can die, or you can use the devil's power to free yourself.

2. Evil but necessary. You do what you need to, to survive. You can always say sorry later.

3. Not evil. It's a form of energy like saidin or saidar. There's nothing moral about the debate.

Thoughts?
