>-Oh, and there are only seven seals on the Dark One's (a.k.a Shai'tan,

I'd been thinking that it was another example of Jordan's triskadecophelia.
Shai'tan, btw, is both the Arabic form of Satan and the Dark One's name. You
don't say it for fear of attracting eir attention if you are good and for
fear of blasphemy if you are evil. Ba'alzamon is the bad guys' name for em,
and what e calls emself in Rand's dreams.

-And what they call him when "The Dark One" isn't creepy enough.-

try.-

Well, the ents did get to tear apart Isengard.

-People keep mentioning that... if you check _The Two Towers_ again, you'll see that the Ents were unable to destroy Saruman's fortress. They couldn't damage it.-

Another possible rule for the Power: "Players may be declared as Istari. An
Istar must act cool and mysterious, and may use all One Power abilities
whenever it advances the storyline."
