Getting back to Callandor , we know that you have to channel the appropriate power though a seed— saidin or saidar . So I was wondering how Callandor got True Power capability. Is it because of the flaw, or did someone channel the True Power through the seed at the time it was created?
That’s an excellent question to which I do not have the answer. It’s not one I had considered.
Somebody had said when I posted in the Facebook re-readers group that there is a theory that the capability might be due to the Taint, but I wasn’t sure that was the case.
I believe it was made intentionally to do what it did for a specific use. Not what it ended up being used for. I don’t think it was used for that. I think it was built—you’re going to have to clear it with Maria—I think it was built to be a trap for one of the male Forsaken.
