Because everything we know about the True Power & its results suggests harmony with natural law? Cannoli Send a noteboard - 26/02/2011 02:52:35 AM
... the Trollocs tribes raid one another. Beside being omnivorous, they're also cannibals.

The weakest become the food for the fittest, that reproduce and so on, and so on.

Most of their food seems to come from raids in the Borderlands however. They slow only in winter.

So the Shadow can produce huge amounts of Trollocs, which are warriors, and huge amount of... Trollocs, again, which are the food of those warriors.

All that, out of the Nowhere, without needing any energy or materials.

Meanwhile the Light might have created infinite supplies of Energy using the Power without any effort... and they didn't.

Mmmmh.
If the Light can do that with the Power, why can't the Shadow do the same? Or do something similar with the True Power? And what exactly, btw, are you referring to with that allusion to a failure of the Light?

I am guessing you are making some sort of reference to the apparent creation of energy when they do things like create fireballs and so forth, but if they can create one type of energy (or more precisely, transform the One/True Power into a more typical type of energy) who says the Dark One is not doing something similar with the True Power? Do Myrdraal cloaks obey the laws of physics?

As it's been pointed out in the books... when they can't find anything from raiding... DomA - 24/02/2011 02:24:10 AM 1067 Views

Not entirely inconsistent with the metaphysics of the series. *NM* Ghavrel - 24/02/2011 01:53:05 PM 706 Views

I think it is quite safe to assume that the trollocs can eat plants that live in the Blight *NM* *NM* Cynewulf - 24/02/2011 11:43:51 PM 459 Views

I think he means using tied off gateways to produce perpetual motion. Myrdhyn - 01/03/2011 06:10:39 PM 927 Views
yep! This, and many other possible applications. *NM* Lo'oris - 02/03/2011 12:57:28 PM 454 Views
Perpetual motion does not equal infinite useful energy. RabidWombat - 02/03/2011 02:27:56 PM 844 Views
