Hmmm I wonder about that. RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 27/05/2010 10:58:46 PM
I would think that slicing the flows would require you to be faster than the effect (i.e. the balefire stream) could be generated.

Rand, after all, was weaving balefire once, and then changed his mind, allowing certain flows to dissipate with enough time to change his mind, implying that the flows can still be acted on before the weave does its' work. Otherwise he'd have to discharge it before he could do anything else.

An analysis of Asmodean's last seconds Etzel - 27/05/2010 12:12:50 PM 2603 Views
I hate to say it, as I love this mystery.... GateKeeper - 27/05/2010 03:01:08 PM 1346 Views
Surely, there can never be enough Asmo threads! *NM* Etzel - 27/05/2010 04:18:06 PM 730 Views
I have a theory on the killer that doesn't involve Slayer... FanEditor10 - 28/05/2010 03:41:23 AM 1148 Views

Yes, but Fain is a far cry from your average non-channeler darius_sedai - 28/05/2010 12:01:44 PM 1227 Views

Re: The main problem with Graendal is... DomA - 28/05/2010 09:20:27 PM 1204 Views

Well, I don't think so. Etzel - 29/05/2010 02:43:28 PM 1058 Views

I disagree. It's pretty much black and white that the opportunity/timing is the key factor to darius_sedai - 02/06/2010 02:39:03 PM 898 Views
