At the end of the day Destruction appears the equal of Creation and is the "opposite", but they are not what I would call "equal" ... Destruction requires less imagination and is a limited act whereas Creation is limitless.
Destruction is limited only by Creation. No creation no destruction.
But By your definition. If creation is limitless so does destruction.
As for destruction requiring less imagination I think it is a matter of perception. I will give an exemple that just pop into my head.
Think of the atomic bomb. I think it require a fairly good amount of imagination to created an engine of destruction.
I am rather on the side that creation and destruction are just opposite side of a coin. Just take medecine, I could use to toture, kill or to better life condition and heal. You could be fairly imaginative to do both.
Of course you can argue that killing only take a bullet, but healing cancer require alot more. But in that case you are comparing appel and orange they are not the same in complexity.
Healing cancer would be compared to boilling a human body from inside out with overdose of chimiothérapie or radiothérapie.
My exemple may not be the best but itis the only think I can think of at the moment.
What's so special about Callandor?

Using the True Power to win Tarmon Gai'don goes against every moral in the series.

My point with imagination is simply that destruction only does 1 thing
