You know Moradin and his non-saidar/saidin based spellcasting? I am running an evil campaign (the PCs are all darkfriends charged with oposing the Aes-Sedai, the dragon reborn, ect, and genreally making life hell for the enemies of the shadow). Anyway, a player expressed interest in the idea of playing someone who could channel the "true power" as the Forsaken call it (though i suspect the Aes Sedai of the age of legends would have had a less flatering name for it). It seams pretty cool, but i'm not sure where to start.

From The canty information we've been given in the books, we know the following things for certain:
- people who can channel cannot sense someone using or holding the True Power.
- The True power is pleasurable to the point of adiction; more so then either sort of the one power.
- Using the true power for a prolonged period of times causes some sort of physical changes which Moghedian describes as being "very far gone", a symptom of which is a small black dot which moves across the channelers' eyes.
-The true power can emulate at least 1 weave of the ordinary power: balefire.

Other then taht, nothing. It's not much to go on. Any suggestions?

Try looking at the rules presented by Randy (aka Eosin the Red)in the netbook Under the Dragons Banner, which can be found HERE There are templates set out for Chosen, Forsaken, and Nae'blis as well as a very good set of rules for using the True Power.
