Primilary because I don't necessarily see it as an inconsistency in the way that you do muppet Send a noteboard - 31/01/2013 02:58:45 PM
IF the Power truly was intended to be Thought/Will based, then the changes make perfect sense and are consistent with established canon. This seems like a very RJ-like twist/backstory to me, with the OP really being the Creator's will, while the True Power is the Dark One's (which may actually itself be a subset of the Creator's, see Rand's reforging of the prison.)

You feel let down because you've read the accounts of POV characters as infallible technical specification, and this is clearly not a correct assumption.

That is utterly incorrect. Rand's case is an evolutionary next step which doesn't apply in general.. Shannow - 31/01/2013 01:42:09 PM 936 Views
Sorry, but it's not utterly incorrect. You can no more disprove it than I can prove it muppet - 31/01/2013 01:49:11 PM 989 Views
Channelers physically burn out when they exceed their limits. That's the proof. Shannow - 31/01/2013 01:52:50 PM 767 Views

Sorry. But that is simply an escape clause for Sanderson to change whatever rules he wants... Shannow - 31/01/2013 01:59:29 PM 864 Views
