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 3713 Views
As RJ said, Cyndane knows a LOT more about the OP darius_sedai - 31/12/2010 08:33:47 PM 1692 Views

Dude, he calls it out specifically. Cyndane beat Alivia because of her skill darius_sedai - 01/01/2011 03:22:48 PM 1294 Views
Search for "Alivia" moratcorlm - 01/01/2011 05:58:53 PM 1229 Views
nothing on either url *NM* malekithe - 01/01/2011 11:02:05 PM 562 Views
Try spelling it correctly then moratcorlm - 02/01/2011 01:30:23 AM 1182 Views
I did, maybe you made the mistake malekithe - 02/01/2011 07:13:54 PM 997 Views

Here are few other quotes establishing how little Alivia knows of the OP darius_sedai - 02/01/2011 07:39:36 PM 1242 Views
Damane don't know about reversed weaves Skeeve the Great - 31/12/2010 09:56:51 PM 1347 Views

Yes, odd. redqueen - 01/01/2011 01:45:01 AM 1201 Views
Nicola wasn't the dragon reborn with the pattern bending around her Helene - 02/01/2011 12:24:50 PM 1094 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 1089 Views
reversed weaves are only useful when dealing with someone who doesn't know they exist. Onarishma - 03/01/2011 07:51:01 PM 1008 Views
Depends on the circumstances really darius_sedai - 04/01/2011 02:17:29 PM 1156 Views
but why would she have any idea that Nynaeve would be able to resist her. Onarishma - 10/01/2011 07:30:49 PM 1091 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 1063 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 1222 Views
that's where she made her mistake darius_sedai - 11/01/2011 04:47:56 PM 1035 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 1136 Views
Well that was always going to happen DrJacJacMcScrumptious - 03/01/2011 11:41:22 PM 1071 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 1052 Views

Cyndane injured Alivia, yes, but Alivia fought Cyndane off. Heiko - 02/01/2011 12:36:12 AM 1205 Views
Re: Cyndane injured Alivia, yes, but Alivia fought Cyndane off. Voscaia Sedai - 02/01/2011 09:56:34 AM 1160 Views
Yup. Joel - 02/01/2011 03:12:39 PM 1100 Views
Small correction - It has not been established that Alivia is stronger than Cyndane unaided... Shannow - 02/01/2011 06:02:53 PM 1115 Views
Alivia has little experience fighting channellers, unlike Lanfear (most likely)... DomA - 03/01/2011 12:56:43 AM 1488 Views
I agree with you moratcorlm - 03/01/2011 01:08:35 AM 1144 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 1220 Views
Where do you get this idea? *NM* moratcorlm - 03/01/2011 07:19:50 PM 633 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 1153 Views
I'm thinking there are 2 items that break webs in different ways darius_sedai - 04/01/2011 07:51:46 PM 1121 Views
Very interesting point. I never noticed that before... Shannow - 05/01/2011 08:02:52 AM 1060 Views
Cadsuane has two types of weavebreakers... fionwe1987 - 05/01/2011 12:51:38 PM 991 Views
inconclusive ... the ornament may be the same one she used to disrupt Semirhage darius_sedai - 05/01/2011 04:09:39 PM 1064 Views
I'm confused... fionwe1987 - 05/01/2011 06:15:06 PM 1048 Views
Why should Cadsuane's "distance" unraveler not also go cold at nearby channeling? Shannow - 05/01/2011 06:51:49 PM 1050 Views
I'd buy this. Myrdhyn - 05/01/2011 07:12:50 PM 1030 Views
Except Cyndane had never heard of a ter'angreal that can unravel weaves... Shannow - 05/01/2011 07:18:58 PM 946 Views
Not necessarily. Myrdhyn - 05/01/2011 09:26:49 PM 1050 Views
I doubt it since LTT claims they created the "first" ones in the AOL darius_sedai - 08/01/2011 05:23:53 PM 1001 Views
The first paralis nets, not necessarily the first weave breakers. Myrdhyn - 09/01/2011 09:53:56 PM 1051 Views
Maybe, but that's getting really convoluted darius_sedai - 10/01/2011 03:36:17 AM 922 Views
Agreed Myrdhyn - 10/01/2011 05:14:45 PM 1025 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 569 Views
It would fit the various scenarios if she had 2 kinds ... darius_sedai - 05/01/2011 03:53:48 PM 1011 Views
Because Demandred said so... Shannow - 04/01/2011 07:28:56 AM 1091 Views
Re: Because Demandred said so... moratcorlm - 04/01/2011 08:45:38 AM 1129 Views

Re: If anyone made a mistake, it was Sanderson, not RJ. moratcorlm - 04/01/2011 10:35:45 AM 1160 Views
I don't think Rand is referring to the system as an indivisible whole. Shannow - 04/01/2011 10:45:24 AM 1098 Views
Besides, he knew of the Well from their previous visit to Far Madding... Shannow - 04/01/2011 11:18:39 AM 1091 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 1210 Views
I agree. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 10/01/2011 07:08:19 PM 1062 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 1112 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 1043 Views
It's a throw-away line moratcorlm - 04/01/2011 08:48:25 AM 1148 Views
