Agreed. Knowledge is power when it comes to channeling. RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 03/01/2011 10:26:37 PM
Especially in a fight for your life that isn't a neat duel with both sides agreeing to certain rules. There is a reason why the most "powerful" Forsaken fell first, and it has to do with how they applied their skills and personality to the situation as a whole - not just the battlefield. The Alivia vs Cyndane fight was illuminating because a skill which the Forsaken take for granted, and probably learned before sophomore year of Channeling University can allow them to match less-skilled but more powerful channelers.

How did Cyndane defeat Alivia? malekithe - 31/12/2010 08:03:39 PM 3836 Views
As RJ said, Cyndane knows a LOT more about the OP darius_sedai - 31/12/2010 08:33:47 PM 1779 Views

Dude, he calls it out specifically. Cyndane beat Alivia because of her skill darius_sedai - 01/01/2011 03:22:48 PM 1397 Views
Search for "Alivia" moratcorlm - 01/01/2011 05:58:53 PM 1312 Views
nothing on either url *NM* malekithe - 01/01/2011 11:02:05 PM 605 Views
Try spelling it correctly then moratcorlm - 02/01/2011 01:30:23 AM 1281 Views
I did, maybe you made the mistake malekithe - 02/01/2011 07:13:54 PM 1069 Views

Here are few other quotes establishing how little Alivia knows of the OP darius_sedai - 02/01/2011 07:39:36 PM 1303 Views
Damane don't know about reversed weaves Skeeve the Great - 31/12/2010 09:56:51 PM 1450 Views

Nicola wasn't the dragon reborn with the pattern bending around her Helene - 02/01/2011 12:24:50 PM 1167 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 1203 Views
reversed weaves are only useful when dealing with someone who doesn't know they exist. Onarishma - 03/01/2011 07:51:01 PM 1091 Views
Depends on the circumstances really darius_sedai - 04/01/2011 02:17:29 PM 1237 Views
but why would she have any idea that Nynaeve would be able to resist her. Onarishma - 10/01/2011 07:30:49 PM 1169 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 1151 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 1293 Views
that's where she made her mistake darius_sedai - 11/01/2011 04:47:56 PM 1101 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 1205 Views
Well that was always going to happen DrJacJacMcScrumptious - 03/01/2011 11:41:22 PM 1160 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 1166 Views

Cyndane injured Alivia, yes, but Alivia fought Cyndane off. Heiko - 02/01/2011 12:36:12 AM 1295 Views
Re: Cyndane injured Alivia, yes, but Alivia fought Cyndane off. Voscaia Sedai - 02/01/2011 09:56:34 AM 1225 Views
Yup. Joel - 02/01/2011 03:12:39 PM 1177 Views
Small correction - It has not been established that Alivia is stronger than Cyndane unaided... Shannow - 02/01/2011 06:02:53 PM 1188 Views
Alivia has little experience fighting channellers, unlike Lanfear (most likely)... DomA - 03/01/2011 12:56:43 AM 1596 Views
I agree with you moratcorlm - 03/01/2011 01:08:35 AM 1225 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 1298 Views
Where do you get this idea? *NM* moratcorlm - 03/01/2011 07:19:50 PM 673 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 1251 Views
I'm thinking there are 2 items that break webs in different ways darius_sedai - 04/01/2011 07:51:46 PM 1211 Views
Very interesting point. I never noticed that before... Shannow - 05/01/2011 08:02:52 AM 1162 Views
Cadsuane has two types of weavebreakers... fionwe1987 - 05/01/2011 12:51:38 PM 1049 Views
inconclusive ... the ornament may be the same one she used to disrupt Semirhage darius_sedai - 05/01/2011 04:09:39 PM 1122 Views
I'm confused... fionwe1987 - 05/01/2011 06:15:06 PM 1128 Views
Why should Cadsuane's "distance" unraveler not also go cold at nearby channeling? Shannow - 05/01/2011 06:51:49 PM 1135 Views
I'd buy this. Myrdhyn - 05/01/2011 07:12:50 PM 1110 Views
Except Cyndane had never heard of a ter'angreal that can unravel weaves... Shannow - 05/01/2011 07:18:58 PM 1032 Views
Not necessarily. Myrdhyn - 05/01/2011 09:26:49 PM 1147 Views
I doubt it since LTT claims they created the "first" ones in the AOL darius_sedai - 08/01/2011 05:23:53 PM 1072 Views
The first paralis nets, not necessarily the first weave breakers. Myrdhyn - 09/01/2011 09:53:56 PM 1127 Views
Maybe, but that's getting really convoluted darius_sedai - 10/01/2011 03:36:17 AM 986 Views
Agreed Myrdhyn - 10/01/2011 05:14:45 PM 1097 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 604 Views
It would fit the various scenarios if she had 2 kinds ... darius_sedai - 05/01/2011 03:53:48 PM 1107 Views
Because Demandred said so... Shannow - 04/01/2011 07:28:56 AM 1180 Views
Re: Because Demandred said so... moratcorlm - 04/01/2011 08:45:38 AM 1217 Views

Contortions moratcorlm - 04/01/2011 09:56:11 AM 8071 Views
If anyone made a mistake, it was Sanderson, not RJ. Shannow - 04/01/2011 10:07:30 AM 1074 Views
Re: If anyone made a mistake, it was Sanderson, not RJ. moratcorlm - 04/01/2011 10:35:45 AM 1259 Views
I don't think Rand is referring to the system as an indivisible whole. Shannow - 04/01/2011 10:45:24 AM 1217 Views
Besides, he knew of the Well from their previous visit to Far Madding... Shannow - 04/01/2011 11:18:39 AM 1183 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 1275 Views
I agree. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 10/01/2011 07:08:19 PM 1142 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 1194 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 1123 Views
It's a throw-away line moratcorlm - 04/01/2011 08:48:25 AM 1225 Views
