Seems to me destroying the DO with balefire would take a force equal to his. The Name With No Man Send a noteboard - 06/11/2009 09:57:47 AM

When Lews Therin said that something had to be used to touch the Dark One, I immediately thought of the True Power. What Rand could possibly do is touch the Dark One with the True Power and seal him away with saidin/saidar. That way, if the Dark One strikes back again, he'll strike the True Power and not the One Power.

I'm not sure what the significance is of Rand's statement that he's going to slay the Dark One. RJ said he could destroy the DO with balefire but it would also destroy the world. Of course, if Rand uses the True Power then maybe his counterstroke will injure himself. Who knows?

If it were done with the One Power, it would take all of it, effectively destroying the world. OTOH, I didn't think Rand could really cleanse saidin either, but he did.

I agree with you - 30/10/2009 03:24:22 PM 1141 Views
don't forget you can't touch the true power without the DO's permission - 30/10/2009 03:31:25 PM 972 Views
I think he will overlook it - 30/10/2009 03:46:25 PM 955 Views
It also might be that Rand used Moridin as a conduit, making the DO's permission irrelevant. - 30/10/2009 03:58:04 PM 904 Views
Indeed... Moridin is definitely worried about the connection - 30/10/2009 03:59:59 PM 1012 Views

You are incorrect - 27/12/2009 10:44:36 PM 756 Views
you're counting on the DO of being absent minded? - 17/04/2010 10:59:41 PM 712 Views
I think using the TP against the DO is wishful thinking. - 31/10/2009 04:33:33 PM 834 Views
Generally agree. - 06/11/2009 09:07:57 AM 871 Views
