Because Lord Haart Send a noteboard - 22/07/2010 03:50:36 PM
1. We know from Lanfear that she doesn't consider herself a darkfriend, so if they asked Mesaana, she'd have truthfully said no. Nor did Lanfear consider herself an Aes Sedai, so she isn't a Black Ajah member either, and could truthfully swear to it.

This is the easiest explanation, and not complicated.

The second one is that she isn't disguised as a sister, and so didn't swear.


Neither of these actually meet Brandon's criteria of "how to _defeat_ the Oath Rod." Not how to avoid it. And there's no way Mesaana would let them halve her lifespan and trap her with the Oath not to use the power as a weapon.

How did Mesaana beat the Oath Rod? CatherineSedai - 17/07/2010 10:26:42 AM 4226 Views
That isn't tricking the oath rod, the way I'm understanding his answer. That's tricking humans *NM* Deadsy - 17/07/2010 10:29:52 AM 550 Views
I agree with Deadsy... Etzel - 17/07/2010 11:32:09 AM 1241 Views

Another AS does the channeling according to NS darius_sedai - 17/07/2010 10:02:32 PM 1229 Views

As mentioned above, your theory is not about defeating Oath Rod. Skeeve the Great - 17/07/2010 06:42:38 PM 1192 Views
That's an interesting theory Gher - 18/07/2010 02:01:23 AM 1140 Views

Good point. We're asking the wrong questions entirely. Lord Haart - 20/07/2010 02:30:04 PM 993 Views

Perhaps she pressed, and held the on/off switch, so that the Oaths never triggered? *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 19/07/2010 09:50:13 PM 516 Views
Everything you said but this... CatherineSedai - 20/07/2010 01:25:34 AM 1116 Views
Or she didn't swear on it, because she's a servant. The Angry Druid - 18/07/2010 11:05:08 PM 1119 Views
but BS would not have told us to think about defeating the oath rod then.... mazza3 - 19/07/2010 04:10:56 PM 975 Views
I don't really see why this is such a big issue: The Angry Druid - 22/07/2010 03:34:46 AM 1275 Views

A true power invisible glove is better than a one power invisible glove. *NM* Logain - 20/07/2010 07:46:48 PM 545 Views
I doubt Mesaana stands high enough to have TP access right now. She's probably the lowest FS. *NM* Lord Haart - 20/07/2010 07:55:31 PM 510 Views
What about Compulsion on herself? LoialT - 19/07/2010 09:07:32 PM 1127 Views
Interesting idea, I think this might work. *NM* Lord Haart - 20/07/2010 02:33:04 PM 559 Views

Yeah I realize what I presented was kinda the opposite of what I was going for. CatherineSedai - 20/07/2010 02:15:46 AM 1057 Views
I just thought of the most obvious way around it. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 20/07/2010 06:17:34 PM 1135 Views
I actually like this idea. Skeeve the Great - 20/07/2010 07:40:56 PM 1066 Views
I think this won't work for one reason. Logain - 20/07/2010 07:44:49 PM 1219 Views

I agree, but... LoialT - 20/07/2010 08:20:33 PM 1162 Views
This makes me wonder what would happen to a woman in a Link darius_sedai - 20/07/2010 08:37:12 PM 1033 Views
I bet it wouldn't work LoialT - 20/07/2010 08:52:00 PM 1480 Views
this is also possible darius_sedai - 20/07/2010 09:17:36 PM 1064 Views
I don't think so Sidious - 20/07/2010 09:05:58 PM 1071 Views

I think the OR is tied to a channelers connection to the OP and nothing else darius_sedai - 20/07/2010 09:22:51 PM 1014 Views

I'm fairly certain that the ability can't be sensed until they are very close to touching darius_sedai - 21/07/2010 09:29:54 PM 1034 Views
