Using the True Power to win Tarmon Gai'don goes against every moral in the series. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 07/03/2012 07:00:02 AM
On a purely practical level, why would Shai'tan allow it? The True Power is not an impersonal power source like the True Source, it's Shai'tan essence. Even if you contend that his link with Moridin will allow him access, even Ishamael needed to beg Shai'tan's support, see their confrontation at the end of The Dragon Reborn.

In D&D terms, one is Wizard magic and the other is Cleric magic.
The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.
