I have another question spurred by a quote I found on the latest Taim discussion:
TGS, 15 "A Place to Begin." The Moridin/Rand dream sequence. "I feel so tired," Moridin continued, closing his eyes. "Is that you, or is it me? I could throttle Semirhage for what she did."
at first I thought the DO gave Rand the ability to channel the TP but is it more likely that Moridin let him, because he was pissed at Semirhage?
I assumed that Semirhage was sacrificed in an attempt to get Rand to turn to the Dark (by granting him access to the True Power). I figured it was one of the (no doubt many) reasons the game of Sha'rah was mentioned. Sometimes pieces in a game have to be sacrificed for a greater purpose, and no matter how powerful Semirhage was, she was still just a piece on the board.
