No, the Citadel is not the power source. The Crucible is the power source. The energy is clearly flowing into the Citadel from the Crucible. The Citadel converts the raw power into a usable signal (the parts which decide what the power is converted to do are on the Citadel, not the Crucible), then acts like an antenna or satellite dish to transmit the signal. Watch the cutscene. When the device activates, you can see a pulse of energy flowing into the Citadel before it fires. What you'll get by activating both is the same raw power (or slightly more due to less resistance) being transmitted in the blast. This will still overload the relays. The only difference it should cause is making the blast less focused to achieving either goal. You might still blow the relays without controlling OR destroying the Reapers. We don't know enough about it for Shepard to make this risky call (doubly so because he's putting an indoctrinated person in control).Sublyminal wrote...
Which is what I am basically saying, the citadel is the power source aka generator per se. The power is being sent through the control, synthesis and destroy platforms all of which are HUGE power drains by themselves. So then you factor in both control and destroy being used simutaniously and you have one huge power grid overload.
You also have to factor in not only is the power controlling the mass effect fields, it's also controlling all environment and stuff like that on the citadel. Which is already a massive strain on the grids by itself. Again, if you throw all the space magic bs out the window and apply real world physics it makes perfect sense on how activating both can cause the effects to be less potent. But, as I said it's all about using real world logic... which ME3 doesn't really do.
