You've completely missed the point! malekithe Send a noteboard - 05/12/2010 08:54:47 AM
If you didn't get Rand's transformation, you're not the intended audience...

IMO, of course.

I'm supposed to believe that 'love' conquered his insanity, removed (or merged) LTT from his mind forever, got rid of the crippling sickness he had every time he seized Saidin, and also gave him 'Light' powers?

PUH LEEZ.

Are you interested in buying a bridge I have for sale?

There has been NO explanation as to why Rand believing in love cured ALL the above problems, NO EXPLANATION. Just buy this bullshit and like it.

Love did not conquer anything or cure his insanity or his sickness etc.. Love was merely the catalyst for a self realization that allowed Rand to access his full potential as the Dragon Reborn. He was having a crisis of faith that kept him limited to simple human abilities. Rand is a Messianic figure and in a way was Reborn on Dragonmount for a 3rd time, this time his power is in his own "faith" rather than the more mundane OP strength.

Once he embraced the truth of being the DR he had access to a wide variety of, now uncorrupted, abilities. Note how he's now vastly stronger in the Power than anyone else rather than being on par with the strongest men. He seems to have some kind of direct control over his ta'veren effect and he is "one with the earth" in truth now, healing the corruption. I believe the same ability that drives Dark Friends insane is what is holding the madness at bay.


Everything you are saying is YOUR OWN extrapolation of the events that occured. This does NOT mean you are right. You are interpreting the events in a way that to you makes sense. However the truth is there is no logical reason from the rules we've seen up till now that should give Rand 'Light Powers'. No reason why his sickness of seizing Saidin disappeared and no reason LTT should have gone away. We dont even know if they merged, or LTT is in Rand's mind 100% or LTT is gone or what!

Yeah, while you're busy not believing that, you should believe in things like the One Power too. Lord Haart - 04/12/2010 10:28:46 AM 818 Views

You've completely missed the point! malekithe - 05/12/2010 08:54:47 AM 719 Views
what do you mean? these powers have been manifesting for a while! You need to read more closely darius_sedai - 05/12/2010 03:15:21 PM 812 Views
You're right, why would love ever be the Base of Goodness??? LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 08:59:27 AM 734 Views
You're proving my point actually malekithe - 05/12/2010 09:33:23 AM 652 Views
? at what point was this series not supposed to be stereotypical? LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 09:36:06 AM 785 Views
Well... malekithe - 05/12/2010 09:42:04 AM 882 Views

Not in Rand malekithe - 05/12/2010 09:55:02 AM 666 Views
channeling isn't far from stereotypical LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 10:10:20 AM 927 Views
So why do you keep reading? malekithe - 05/12/2010 10:17:49 AM 887 Views

Again, why are you on this board or even reading this series? Ashaman_Luc - 04/12/2010 02:30:22 PM 853 Views
Uh excuse me. malekithe - 05/12/2010 09:05:27 AM 769 Views
since you are so very unhappy, I fail to see why you continue to read the books LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 09:09:36 AM 621 Views
Don't twist things to suit yourself malekithe - 05/12/2010 09:38:42 AM 707 Views
I would be unhappy with that ending because the Creator has never worked directly. LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 09:44:17 AM 743 Views
I'd say there's been some unusualness. malekithe - 05/12/2010 09:52:22 AM 699 Views
If Rand was one of the supporting heroes, maybe. But he's the "messiah" character LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 10:15:42 AM 685 Views
Actually, it's got zilch to do with "good" or "evil". Lord Haart - 05/12/2010 01:37:49 PM 778 Views
actually, we don't know how it is done and I like my theory just fine, thank you LadyLorraine - 05/12/2010 05:48:19 PM 610 Views
We haven't had a Rand POV, so I don't think you can say for certain that it's random. Lord Haart - 06/12/2010 03:16:43 AM 793 Views
I don't think I can either. I'm not trying to say it's certain. LadyLorraine - 06/12/2010 06:17:04 AM 683 Views
I really like Rand post-epiphany (or BuddhaRand as I call him) RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/12/2010 04:05:10 PM 608 Views
