"If you want something done right, do it yourself."
If you tie something off, you no longer have a sense of it--not to mention that it can be unwoven instead of having to be ripped through by brute force. But imagine a tied off dome of air.

Most channelers don't seem to have trouble having bluish-white things of Air when they want. They could do something as simple as a visible (to anyone, not just channelers), tied off weaves of Air, either totally across a front, or narrow kill zones the Shadowspawn have to attack through. If they have no enemy channelers to face, well it's organ grinding time. If they do, then they show themselves when they go to untie the weaves and mark themselves out for attack.
Except for plot reasons, it makes no sense not to at least use tied off weaves at the start, before progressing onto attacking ones.

Make one razor-thin strand of Air. Move it violently down the battlefield. Done. *NM*

Concurrance. Given what we know they can do, channelers are idiotic in battle. *NM*

Weaves don't have "edges". The weave creates an effect; the effect may simulate a sharp edge.
