Interview #2: Twitter 2009-2010 (WoT), Entry #31

Azral Hanan (29 July 2010)

Are the taint and the True Power the same?

Brandon Sanderson (29 July 2010)

No, they are different.

AZRAL HANAN

Can Mashadar destroy True Power and True Power weaves like it destroyed the taint?

BRANDON SANDERSON

RAFO.

AZRAL HANAN

If there was no Cleansing would the taint eventually run out as it’s used by men who go insane & die ad infinitum ?

BRANDON SANDERSON

I don’t think it’d run out. But that’s a “Brandon’s mostly sure, but hasn’t checked the notes.”

AZRAL HANAN (30 JULY)

Did Mr. Jordan list out what the True Power can/not do relative to the One Power? Are there limits to both?

BRANDON SANDERSON

RAFO. Maybe we’ll put some of that in the encyclopedia. They are certainly different. Towers of Midnight has some hints.

BENJAMIN MOLDOVAN

Mashadar is gone, isn’t it? Would it really hurt to say whether the True Power would be affected?

BRANDON SANDERSON

Have we ever confirmed that Mashadar is dead? :)
