What was it? The True Power from the One Source instead of the One Power from the True Source? I can never remember which is which.

(click to show/hide)I think it was the True Power. It IS confusing. :P But I still don't think he channeled. I'll check the book sometime soon and get back to you.

Oh, on that technicality I have no Idea. (click to show/hide)It definitely wasnt the normal Weave channeling, it was way more innate/subconscious (almost accidental) than that. But there was some note about the mark in his eye when it happened that made me give the credit to the True Power, though I would suspect his use of and relationship to it are wildly different that the Granted Access the forsaken where given.

(click to show/hide) Interesting point, as the forsaken still had to weave True Power just like any other weave. Maybe now that Shai‘tan is his bitch he can get easy access.This still doesn't answer the longevity issue, as all True Power channelers were already One power channelers, and thus have an extended lifespan

Been a while since I read those, so help me out: (click to show/hide)Any specific reason to think he's not also still a normal channeler? so long as he has some of that ability Id expect the longevity to remain.
In a mroe general statement I think he absorbed so much raw universal power that hes not quite mortal anymore anyway. The Forsaken were able to live a hell of a lot longer than any normal channeler (though they were also caught in the Seal trap, so there's that). I tend to think that at least one of the various abilities he has would be able to keep age at bay (given how mythically powerful he is otherwise, and how relatively easy it seemed to grant some form of immortality to the various evil minions).

(click to show/hide) In the last scene he tried reaching for the One Power to light his pipe and found nothing here, much to his relief.
Which various abilities? He's just the strongest channeler of all, but not by much. He tested how much he could channel against Tiam and Logan, and found that they can hold nearly as much as he does. Being Ta'veren (spelling) doesn't make anyone live any longer.
