Though you can make the argument that if you do not use the male or female halves of the one power and instead use the True Power directly from the Dark One you can travel in the way that is more similar to Nightcrawler and that is what you see when the Forsake travel in the first 3 books or so you are really seeing one of the firsts uses of the True Power traveling and not the One Power traveling.
Wow... I never really realized how bloody MASSIVE the Traveling retcon was.

Can you explain the retcon to those of us a few years out from the latest reread?

Basically in the first 3 books Traveling worked completely differently then it did from the 4th on.

Maybe in RJ's head, but he didn't put enough on the page to prove it.

The problem with that, is... Rand does it. Quite a bit actually.

I really do not care but arguing for mere humor / logic sake

... No, really. The difference between channeling the OP and TP is way too big to miss while in POV.

But we never see a PoV character teleport from "on place" to another using Traveling

Rand does it at the end of both EotW and TDR. *NM*

LTT's presence in Rand's mind makes Rand a shit standard here.

"Knowledge and skill" don't really matter here. Neither help him do what can't be done at all *NM*

By "here" you must mean the space between your ears.

No, I mean I am talking in an OOU POV, while you are being overly defensive from an IU POV.

No, he didn't. It just says "He Traveled." There is no description of the mechanism.

Meh. Anybody who played D&D way back then recognized Jordan employing the spells...

And anyone faster then a bullet MUST be ripping off Superman? Kinda irrelevant to the point anyway.

I'm not taking a dig at Jordan for lifting from a game he played.

What are you talking about? No one knew anything about Travelling in the first books.
