As for Tigraine, she couldn't even learn to channel (she's Tower trained, remember. If she could channel, the AS would have found out), so it's fairly obvious Rand owes his ability to Wise Ones or latent male learners (or both) in Janduin's near ancestry. Janduin could very well have been the son of a Wise One and have been a potential learner, for all we know.


Or maybe not even that. The Pattern could simply have introduced a mutation into Rand's genetic code to allow him to channel because it needed him to do so. His biological parents need not have had the genes to handle to OP at all. Yes, that would be a remarkable coincidence, but since we're dealing with fantasy, it's a possibilty that shouldn't necessarily be discounted.

He cannot. This passage is similar to one in New Spring - 05/06/2010 03:36:19 AM 790 Views

uh, me. and thousands of others. it's called the void, which tam can do. *NM* - 05/06/2010 07:09:52 AM 339 Views
Wait?? Tam must have some channeling genes since Rand is his son.... *NM* - 05/06/2010 06:21:40 PM 335 Views
you're kidding right? *NM* - 05/06/2010 06:30:54 PM 329 Views

They still see channelers as Dark Friends. - 10/06/2010 03:51:44 PM 756 Views
More likely they'd do what the Seanchan would when/if Tuon Channels - 13/06/2010 12:21:12 PM 769 Views
As you pointed out - 13/06/2010 02:08:34 PM 758 Views
Only for the short term - 13/06/2010 02:48:54 PM 773 Views
Perhaps. Perhaps not. Nothing is completely static. - 13/06/2010 05:41:59 PM 886 Views
right, cause in a few months they are going to change more tahn 1000 years of doctrine *NM* - 13/06/2010 10:32:56 PM 391 Views
Yes. Exactly. In three days two Aiel clans ended a blood feud. - 14/06/2010 03:14:42 AM 893 Views

Nonesense. The Sul'Dam hadn't started channeling. - 14/06/2010 07:26:12 PM 815 Views
The sul'dam who have realized what they are know it's just a matter of time - 14/06/2010 07:50:52 PM 853 Views
As sul'Dam they need to be taught to channel. - 14/06/2010 10:38:33 PM 723 Views
Actually women soldiers are NOT common in WoT - 23/06/2010 07:50:13 AM 1011 Views
They are common enough in Seanchan and with the Aiel though - 27/06/2010 03:47:18 PM 677 Views
I'm inclined to say no - 06/06/2010 07:48:11 AM 855 Views
I don't. - 09/06/2010 03:28:30 PM 803 Views
As others said, there is no real reason to believe that. *NM* - 09/06/2010 03:44:00 PM 397 Views
