Yes, odd. redqueen Send a noteboard - 01/01/2011 01:45:01 AM
Odd that Rand didnt seem to have a problem with any of the other Forsaken despite their knowledge, despite not having hundreds of years of battle experience (as Rand), despite the reversed weaves that no one ever threw at him etc etc etcey should be able to.


Don't get me started on how ludicrous the early Rand-forsaken battles were. The difficulty of the battle must increase in proportion to the abilities of the Hero, or you don't have much of a story. Nicola was a nice example of what happens when someone who isn't the Hero tries fighting against those kinds of odds.

How did Cyndane defeat Alivia? malekithe - 31/12/2010 08:03:39 PM 3322 Views
As RJ said, Cyndane knows a LOT more about the OP darius_sedai - 31/12/2010 08:33:47 PM 1472 Views

Dude, he calls it out specifically. Cyndane beat Alivia because of her skill darius_sedai - 01/01/2011 03:22:48 PM 1096 Views

Try spelling it correctly then moratcorlm - 02/01/2011 01:30:23 AM 981 Views
I did, maybe you made the mistake malekithe - 02/01/2011 07:13:54 PM 814 Views

Here are few other quotes establishing how little Alivia knows of the OP darius_sedai - 02/01/2011 07:39:36 PM 1031 Views

Nicola wasn't the dragon reborn with the pattern bending around her Helene - 02/01/2011 12:24:50 PM 892 Views
Not really ... Rand has had LTT knowledge leaking into his head for a long time darius_sedai - 02/01/2011 07:13:41 PM 912 Views
reversed weaves are only useful when dealing with someone who doesn't know they exist. Onarishma - 03/01/2011 07:51:01 PM 841 Views
Depends on the circumstances really darius_sedai - 04/01/2011 02:17:29 PM 955 Views
but why would she have any idea that Nynaeve would be able to resist her. Onarishma - 10/01/2011 07:30:49 PM 933 Views
Well she did get attacked right off the bat... Pretty indicative that Nyn resist her compulsion darius_sedai - 11/01/2011 12:56:51 AM 886 Views
Exactly. which is why she didn't have time to do any "fancy" and time consuming reversing. Onarishma - 11/01/2011 03:23:50 PM 1020 Views
that's where she made her mistake darius_sedai - 11/01/2011 04:47:56 PM 865 Views
It would be these memories, his t'a'veren nature & sheer luck/plot necessity that gave him the edge RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/01/2011 10:32:43 PM 940 Views
Well that was always going to happen DrJacJacMcScrumptious - 03/01/2011 11:41:22 PM 903 Views
Yes. As I said, it would have been a very different series. Thanks for going into detail ! RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/01/2011 04:47:51 PM 862 Views

Re: Cyndane injured Alivia, yes, but Alivia fought Cyndane off. Voscaia Sedai - 02/01/2011 09:56:34 AM 961 Views
Yup. Joel - 02/01/2011 03:12:39 PM 922 Views
Small correction - It has not been established that Alivia is stronger than Cyndane unaided... Shannow - 02/01/2011 06:02:53 PM 882 Views
Alivia has little experience fighting channellers, unlike Lanfear (most likely)... DomA - 03/01/2011 12:56:43 AM 1218 Views
I agree with you moratcorlm - 03/01/2011 01:08:35 AM 898 Views
Demandred wasn't commenting on Cadsuane's paralis net, but on her little bird saidin detector... Shannow - 03/01/2011 07:01:08 AM 1039 Views
Where do you get this idea? *NM* moratcorlm - 03/01/2011 07:19:50 PM 545 Views
Well, he's definitely right he was commenting on one of the specific ter'angreal in her "net". DomA - 03/01/2011 10:51:09 PM 977 Views
I'm thinking there are 2 items that break webs in different ways darius_sedai - 04/01/2011 07:51:46 PM 926 Views
Very interesting point. I never noticed that before... Shannow - 05/01/2011 08:02:52 AM 890 Views
Cadsuane has two types of weavebreakers... fionwe1987 - 05/01/2011 12:51:38 PM 810 Views
inconclusive ... the ornament may be the same one she used to disrupt Semirhage darius_sedai - 05/01/2011 04:09:39 PM 878 Views
I'm confused... fionwe1987 - 05/01/2011 06:15:06 PM 860 Views
Why should Cadsuane's "distance" unraveler not also go cold at nearby channeling? Shannow - 05/01/2011 06:51:49 PM 845 Views
I'd buy this. Myrdhyn - 05/01/2011 07:12:50 PM 812 Views
Except Cyndane had never heard of a ter'angreal that can unravel weaves... Shannow - 05/01/2011 07:18:58 PM 767 Views
Not necessarily. Myrdhyn - 05/01/2011 09:26:49 PM 870 Views
I doubt it since LTT claims they created the "first" ones in the AOL darius_sedai - 08/01/2011 05:23:53 PM 822 Views
The first paralis nets, not necessarily the first weave breakers. Myrdhyn - 09/01/2011 09:53:56 PM 871 Views
Maybe, but that's getting really convoluted darius_sedai - 10/01/2011 03:36:17 AM 736 Views
Agreed Myrdhyn - 10/01/2011 05:14:45 PM 827 Views
I don't remember if the AS Symbol was used prior to the AOL ... if so then it's possible *NM* darius_sedai - 10/01/2011 05:55:38 PM 480 Views
It would fit the various scenarios if she had 2 kinds ... darius_sedai - 05/01/2011 03:53:48 PM 805 Views

I don't think Rand is referring to the system as an indivisible whole. Shannow - 04/01/2011 10:45:24 AM 909 Views
Besides, he knew of the Well from their previous visit to Far Madding... Shannow - 04/01/2011 11:18:39 AM 880 Views
It's also possible that a Paralis Net is simply a name for any personal system darius_sedai - 04/01/2011 09:23:18 PM 1008 Views
I agree. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 10/01/2011 07:08:19 PM 878 Views
Re: Demandred wasn't commenting on Cadsuane's paralis net, but on her little bird saidin detector... DomA - 03/01/2011 10:01:00 PM 911 Views
I cannot remember Semirhage's reference to a paralis net, but if she did do so, it is problematic... Shannow - 04/01/2011 07:31:24 AM 841 Views
