If it is not the MOST powerful it certainly is so powerful that he would never have to worry about the Forsaken or the Aes Sedai. And why be "afraid" of the power? I hate characters like Thomas Covenant in the Stephen R.Donaldson books that complain about the new power they are given and are determined not to use it. Blah, blah. Human nature is such that the majority of people would use the power they are given and it is up to the individual whether it is used for good or evil. But just leaving it sitting around while you duck and dodge your enemies makes no sense to me. If it is up to a person to save the world and everyone in it you would not leave your most powerful weapon behind and carry around a "little fat man" that gives you just a little more power.
