Well there you have it, then... Shannow Send a noteboard - 04/01/2011 09:24:38 AM
I over-quoted; Dominic's posts have dealt with the issue of the ter'angreal. I'm specifically wondering where you got the idea that the paralis-net is only the weave-unraveling piece: as you further go on to say:
Also, Cadsuane has a whole bunch of stuff in her hairnet. They seem to be a collection of random angreal and ter'angreal. The "paralis net" seems likely to refer to the "net" in her hair itself. The little bird ornament is something seperate, as are some of the other stuff she's collected, no doubt.

It stretches credulity, particularly after Rand's comments in TOM51, to think that the set of jewelry does not comprise a paralis-net but merely contains one among various other junk.

Rand smiled. "And you're wearing a full paralis-net in your hair, which includes a Well. I'm certain you keep it full, and that should be enough to create a single gateway."
Cadsuane's face grew expressionless. "I've never heard of a paralis-net."
"Cadsuane Sedai," Rand said softly. "Your net has a few ornaments I don't recognize—I suspect it is a Breaking-era creation. But I was there when the first ones were designed, and I wore the original male version."


The little bird that detects male channeling is obviously one of the ornaments that Rand did not recognize. Particularly because Demandred didn't recognize it either.

As to what a FULL paralis net is - maybe it is a ter'angreal like Mat's ORIGINAL medallion, which unravels weaves FULLY, as opposed to a partial one which would be similar to Elayne's weak copies of Mat's medallion, which can only unravel weak weaves.

However, thats where Cyndane's unfamiliarity with weave dissolving ter'angreal would be a problem.

In truth, there is only one logical conclusion, that fits all the quotes.

The paralis net itself existed during the War of Power. Lews Therin wore the first male version. However, the paralis net itself:

Does NOT detect male channeling and does NOT unravel weaves. Those two functions are fulfilled by some of Cadsuane's additional ornaments, which Lews Therin could not identify.

The paralis net therefore does something ELSE, probably associated with Cadsuane's well, since Lews Therin specifically associated it with Cadsuane being able to channel in Far Madding.

This is therefore the solution. Saidin detection and weave unravelling are not functions of the paralis net. They are functions of some of Cadsuane's other ornaments, which did not exist in the Age of Legends.

Here are few other quotes establishing how little Alivia knows of the OP - 02/01/2011 07:39:36 PM 1309 Views

Not really ... Rand has had LTT knowledge leaking into his head for a long time - 02/01/2011 07:13:41 PM 1207 Views
reversed weaves are only useful when dealing with someone who doesn't know they exist. - 03/01/2011 07:51:01 PM 1099 Views
Depends on the circumstances really - 04/01/2011 02:17:29 PM 1245 Views
but why would she have any idea that Nynaeve would be able to resist her. - 10/01/2011 07:30:49 PM 1175 Views
Well she did get attacked right off the bat... Pretty indicative that Nyn resist her compulsion - 11/01/2011 12:56:51 AM 1159 Views
Exactly. which is why she didn't have time to do any "fancy" and time consuming reversing. - 11/01/2011 03:23:50 PM 1302 Views
that's where she made her mistake - 11/01/2011 04:47:56 PM 1104 Views
It would be these memories, his t'a'veren nature & sheer luck/plot necessity that gave him the edge - 03/01/2011 10:32:43 PM 1208 Views

Well, he's definitely right he was commenting on one of the specific ter'angreal in her "net". - 03/01/2011 10:51:09 PM 1257 Views

I'm confused... - 05/01/2011 06:15:06 PM 1132 Views
Why should Cadsuane's "distance" unraveler not also go cold at nearby channeling? - 05/01/2011 06:51:49 PM 1142 Views

I doubt it since LTT claims they created the "first" ones in the AOL - 08/01/2011 05:23:53 PM 1076 Views
The first paralis nets, not necessarily the first weave breakers. - 09/01/2011 09:53:56 PM 1134 Views
