Just finished The series. I believe you are all wrong. Lighting that pipe is not any Power. IT was described exactly as Perrins actions in TAR. My thoughts are that during the battle with DO Rand finally understood that The World of WOT is a dream just like all the Aiel said. Dying was "waking up" and TAR is a "dream within a dream". This was teased few times with Perrin trying to summon the hammer and shifting, but he couldnt do it because he always remembered that IT was not possible since he was awake. But Rand didn't care about being awake.
My theory on lighting his pipe at the end...
