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 Sidious - 30/10/2009 03:24:22 PM 1441 Views
don't forget you can't touch the true power without the DO's permission mazza3 - 30/10/2009 03:31:25 PM 1207 Views
I think he will overlook it Sidious - 30/10/2009 03:46:25 PM 1208 Views
It also might be that Rand used Moridin as a conduit, making the DO's permission irrelevant. RandAllThor - 30/10/2009 03:58:04 PM 1163 Views
Indeed... Moridin is definitely worried about the connection Sidious - 30/10/2009 03:59:59 PM 1281 Views

I think the TP IS the DO - sealing the Bore with it is illogical and impossible. Lord Haart - 27/11/2009 12:13:29 AM 981 Views

you're counting on the DO of being absent minded? Japhy - 17/04/2010 10:59:41 PM 999 Views
The Foresaken had their permission revoked, but the DO can enact consequences on them... FanEditor10 - 29/04/2010 04:35:27 AM 1197 Views
I think using the TP against the DO is wishful thinking. redhand - 31/10/2009 04:33:33 PM 1093 Views
