* When the story comes to that massive climax on top of Dragonmount, something interesting is actually happening. Rand is creating the physical equivalent of The Void. In this Void, he is able to finally look at things in a way that he could never do when in the mental void he uses. As such, the final dispelling of the physical Void allows him to also dispell the mental Void that he has practically been living in, perhaps for years on end. What's more, in order to restore his sanity, he must grasp the concept of saidar, with the whole "guiding, but not forcing" concept. Until that point, Rand represented only half of the One Power, and thus was highly unbalanced. It is this balance that he has finally achieved, coming with the knowledge that both sides of the One Power are necessary at times, in symmetry with the balance necessary to seal away the Dark One. It was the asymmetry, after all, from Lews Therin that led to the sequence of events from the Breaking onwards.
Line 14 ⟶ 15:
* For me, Alanna bonding Rand against his will has always seemed like a bad thing, but it got pushed into this territory when you realise that it is more or less an equivalent of rape.
