I disasgree. There is no evidence that Aran'gar was holding saidin at the time

Then why did she gasp at the shield? She couldn't have known what Graendal was weaving.
- 21/09/2010 07:52:49 PM

because she was surprised that Graendal would put a shield on her in the first place

I really don't think you have to be holding the source to know you've been shielded

Siuan was distracted by a number of other things going on, not to mention how suspect

More so than Siuan was on Elaida when they were shielded.

It doesn't matter. There are more Shieldings that go unnoticed when not holding the Source
