Description
Callandor appears to be simply a sword made of crystal, but is in fact a powerful sa'angreal that can increase the strength of a male channeler while they hold it (which is why it is sometimes referred to as "the Sword That Is Not a Sword"). Callandor was located in the Stone of Tear for hundreds of years after the Breaking of the World, protected so that only the Dragon Reborn could remove it, an important sign of the Dragon's rebirth according to the Prophecies of the Dragon.

The sword has since been removed from the Stone on Rand's orders by Narishma. In Robert Jordan 's Wheel of Time novel series there are several characters classified as Asha'man.

Rand is told by Cadsuane Sedai that Callandor requires two women and one man to be able to use it properly, with one woman controlling the sword itself. Cadsuane Melaidhrin is a fictional character in The Wheel of Time series of fantasy novels by Robert Jordan.

The Dark One is a fictional entity and main antagonist of The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. (This is a point of contention amongst readers, as to whether the sword increases the Taint or the man's susceptibility to the Taint; however, in the end, either interpretation has the same result. ) Fortunately this risk may have been somewhat lessened by the Cleansing of Saidin.

Alternately, since all other angreal have this buffer, and can be used together, a man could conceivably use a small angreal (e. g. Rand's long-lost fat man statuette) in addition to Callandor, and be at no risk.
There is some confusion as to whether Callandor is a male-only sa'angreal or one that can be used by both sexes. Siuan Sanche tells Nynaeve that with Callandor in her hands, she could level an entire city with one blow, which was probably a metaphor. Siuan Sanche (pronounced swan) is a character of the Wheel of Time fantasy series by Robert Jordan.
