Sure, Androl has the remarkable ability to weave Gateways of any size between an inch to 2-wagons size, but that doesn't mean he can bypass something that was specifically designed to prevent ALL forms of Traveling. That includes Skimming and saidar Gateways, which btw use Tel'Aran'Rhiod as a portal hub. What other form of Traveling is there, or could be made that does the same thing as the original but bypasses metaphysical obstacles? I think the OP rules/laws behind Traveling is finite and irrefutable, grounded in the 2 planes of existence that make up the mainstream reality.

The only option I see is finding the Dreamspike and move, deactivate, or destroy it. Or Androl somehow develops a Talent to time-travel via Gateways. OR, if you really stretch for another option, make a Gateway that uses the shadow-worlds that the Portal Stones navigates.

P.S. A Gateway through the Ways could be another option but that demiplane is too similar to that which ppl Skim through to make use of.


And the ter'angreal (which the dreamspike is) were created solely for the purpose of making people unable to not only be unable to CHANNEL the OP, but to even be unable to sense the true source. Just like a stedding. Also, difference between someone being stilled, and gentled.

It's like a prison. You can design it to block every way of escape YOU can think of. Doesn't mean there are other ways.

Just as everyone thought Stilling and the Taint "could not be healed"...they just didn't know the right way.

Cadsuane was sure no one could get through her box of traps. Someone did. The Forsaken have seen the dreamspikes used, and likely, their use during the war was near constant and may never have been broken. You may be able to theoritically figure that there could be a potential flaw in it--but having seen it used for decades and not a single case of it ever being broken would make anyone believe it is flawless.

Basically, there is no "absolute defense".
