but why would she have any idea that Nynaeve would be able to resist her. Onarishma Send a noteboard - 10/01/2011 07:30:49 PM
Moghedien was an idiot to engage Nynaeve the way she did. Reversed weaves to slice Nynaeves and a then a reversed shield of her own and she would have won in minutes.

As for the men, I agree with your thoughts mainly because I think Reversing is easier for women due to their naturally higher dexterity. Seems to me that Reversing with saidin takes a bit more effort so the men don't bother with is unless it's going to be an obvious advantage, like Demandred v. Flinn's circle.


as they have constantly assumed the AS of today are children. She had no way of knowing Nynaeve had resisted her compulsion. She should have been a non-threat.

How did Cyndane defeat Alivia? malekithe - 31/12/2010 08:03:39 PM 3731 Views
As RJ said, Cyndane knows a LOT more about the OP darius_sedai - 31/12/2010 08:33:47 PM 1698 Views

Dude, he calls it out specifically. Cyndane beat Alivia because of her skill darius_sedai - 01/01/2011 03:22:48 PM 1308 Views

Here are few other quotes establishing how little Alivia knows of the OP darius_sedai - 02/01/2011 07:39:36 PM 1251 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 1101 Views
reversed weaves are only useful when dealing with someone who doesn't know they exist. Onarishma - 03/01/2011 07:51:01 PM 1024 Views
Depends on the circumstances really darius_sedai - 04/01/2011 02:17:29 PM 1163 Views
but why would she have any idea that Nynaeve would be able to resist her. Onarishma - 10/01/2011 07:30:49 PM 1104 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 1076 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 1233 Views
that's where she made her mistake darius_sedai - 11/01/2011 04:47:56 PM 1045 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 1144 Views
Well that was always going to happen DrJacJacMcScrumptious - 03/01/2011 11:41:22 PM 1082 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 1066 Views

Yup. Joel - 02/01/2011 03:12:39 PM 1106 Views
Small correction - It has not been established that Alivia is stronger than Cyndane unaided... Shannow - 02/01/2011 06:02:53 PM 1124 Views
Alivia has little experience fighting channellers, unlike Lanfear (most likely)... DomA - 03/01/2011 12:56:43 AM 1497 Views
I agree with you moratcorlm - 03/01/2011 01:08:35 AM 1156 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 1226 Views
Where do you get this idea? *NM* moratcorlm - 03/01/2011 07:19:50 PM 637 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 1168 Views
I'm thinking there are 2 items that break webs in different ways darius_sedai - 04/01/2011 07:51:46 PM 1129 Views
Very interesting point. I never noticed that before... Shannow - 05/01/2011 08:02:52 AM 1075 Views
Cadsuane has two types of weavebreakers... fionwe1987 - 05/01/2011 12:51:38 PM 1003 Views
inconclusive ... the ornament may be the same one she used to disrupt Semirhage darius_sedai - 05/01/2011 04:09:39 PM 1071 Views
I'm confused... fionwe1987 - 05/01/2011 06:15:06 PM 1056 Views
Why should Cadsuane's "distance" unraveler not also go cold at nearby channeling? Shannow - 05/01/2011 06:51:49 PM 1054 Views
I'd buy this. Myrdhyn - 05/01/2011 07:12:50 PM 1040 Views
Except Cyndane had never heard of a ter'angreal that can unravel weaves... Shannow - 05/01/2011 07:18:58 PM 955 Views
Not necessarily. Myrdhyn - 05/01/2011 09:26:49 PM 1062 Views
I doubt it since LTT claims they created the "first" ones in the AOL darius_sedai - 08/01/2011 05:23:53 PM 1011 Views
The first paralis nets, not necessarily the first weave breakers. Myrdhyn - 09/01/2011 09:53:56 PM 1061 Views
Maybe, but that's getting really convoluted darius_sedai - 10/01/2011 03:36:17 AM 935 Views
Agreed Myrdhyn - 10/01/2011 05:14:45 PM 1036 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 572 Views

I don't think Rand is referring to the system as an indivisible whole. Shannow - 04/01/2011 10:45:24 AM 1115 Views
Besides, he knew of the Well from their previous visit to Far Madding... Shannow - 04/01/2011 11:18:39 AM 1097 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 1222 Views
I agree. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 10/01/2011 07:08:19 PM 1072 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 1055 Views
