Re: You can't expect BS to give away things with 2 books to go. Datakim Send a noteboard - 26/07/2010 02:24:29 AM
What BS said was to make a vague, general statements with loopholes big enough for an elephane. He chose not to answer the question about the permission at all, and only made a statement about what Semirhage thought, which any reader could also make.


He used the word "generally" which pretty much means it is possible to use TP without permission in some obscure way but this is not normal operating behaviour for TP. However, whether that means Moridin/Rand link or not is anyones guess at this point. It is certainly one possible interpretation however.


Your intepretion is that BS had in mind that Rand can steal TP from Mordin, instead of direct granting from the DO. If he had that in mind, why would he bother to make clarifications? What BS said was, both are possible, and I am not telling the readership which theory is impossible, so argue all you want, and when the next books come out, you will see. Basically a longer version of RAFO.


I don't actually have any particular belief in either theory. _Both_ are possible. Which is actually my point. Infact I think I have actually argued for the possibility of the DO-wanted-Rand-Corrupted theory too. As I said, either could be the case.


This provides no evidence in settling on this issue. If you think Rand did it through Mordin, it is fine. But this does not strengthen your case at all.


I have no case beyond fun speculation, which is all anyone has at this point.

I don't know if Semirhage was sacrificed or not. Either way the Semirhage quote set up tGS 6 books RabidWombat - 26/07/2010 02:29:59 AM 788 Views

I'd say that there was a pre-meditated plan or backup plan to sacrifice Semirhage Matrimony Cauthon - 26/07/2010 09:02:44 AM 800 Views

Moridin and SH knew that the CK could never defeat the dark one so they were happy to leave it Matrimony Cauthon - 26/07/2010 05:56:56 PM 826 Views

I fail to see the relevance. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 27/07/2010 02:06:27 AM 305 Views
the relevance is that it was impossible without the CK Sidious - 27/07/2010 05:25:45 AM 640 Views

??? The CK in the hands of a madman is exactly what the Dark One needs to destroy the pattern Matrimony Cauthon - 27/07/2010 07:01:13 AM 701 Views
So why not give it to Moridin then? Sidious - 27/07/2010 10:54:47 AM 716 Views
If their plan of taking Rand to Shayol Ghul suceeded then the CK was no longer needed Matrimony Cauthon - 27/07/2010 03:39:58 PM 694 Views
Could be simple. How do you find an object that "lies hidden"? Mik - 27/07/2010 04:17:35 PM 678 Views
It could be, but I would still think they would have noticed the CK sitting next to the male a'dam Matrimony Cauthon - 27/07/2010 04:34:45 PM 671 Views
Not if Moridin sensed it, instead of seeing it. Mik - 27/07/2010 08:12:25 PM 675 Views

I agree with DomA *NM* *NM* RabidWombat - 27/07/2010 03:44:51 AM 312 Views
That last line had me laughing! (right on the money too, by the way) *NM* Mik - 27/07/2010 02:58:20 PM 292 Views
I don't believe in foreshadowing that you can figure out from the actual plot. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/07/2010 08:42:11 PM 675 Views
