favorite element?

[Myndrunner]

Right, and I'm just a simple gleeman.  You all have powers that are far beyond anything I could understand, of course.  Please, ignore the ramblings of this weary showman.....the suggestion of a sixth element in opposition is not only preposterous, but could bring the White Tower breathing down my....forgive me.

*Breathes down Myndrunner's .... * ... you called ?  ;D

 

Maybe Spirit is the pivot around which the other 4 elements revolve? An equal meeting ground for Saidin and Saidar, perhaps?

[eclipse0]

Mayhaps you speak of the power that the Forsaken use...

[Dunbar]

the one that is true?

[Myndrunner]

Ah, now you both are talking way over this poor ol gleeman's head.  Those bloody Forsaken use a power that I couldn't possibly understand. 

 

*takes a deep puff on his pipe, seemingly lost in thought....*

 

Suppose, for a moment, that the wheel is neither good nor evil, just balanced.  It couldn't have the White Tower by itself so it spit out some ta'veren and then soon....voila! An equal yet opposite Black Tower is created.  Perhaps, this same reasoning could be done in regards to the elements.....*takes another puff*

 

....I'm only saying that perhaps the absence of an element, or in this case, the absence of Spirit, could be an element in its own right.  Spirit has been used as much by the Forsaken for dark purposes as you Asha'Man and the Aes Sedai used for the light.  An anti-spirit element, or black element if you will, could be used as much for good as for evil; so, one who channels a weave using such an element does not become a Darkfriend, or a Chosen for doing so.  It is the intention of the weave that makes them so. 

 

There is so much more to learn once you all start channeling with this sixth element!

 

*looks around and grins, then takes another puff on his pipe*

 

I do say, my friends, this Two Rivers Tabac is good stuff!

Yes Demi, that is the Power of which I speak.

 

Mr. Gleeman, if you notice the spokes on wheels, it is possible to have a wheel with an odd number of spokes, as long as they are spaced evenly to distribute the balance of weight.

[Korin Caylin]

It could be that the One Power has Spirit while the True Power has a completely different element. :-\

[Myndrunner]

To truly define a thing, one must define what it is not. What is Spirit?  And what is it not?

[eclipse0]

Spirit can be defined as the driving force behind everything, thus it's opposite (nothing) is not something tangible to wield...
