that's where she made her mistake darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 11/01/2011 04:47:56 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.



We've seen that it doesn't take equal strength to cut flows, Moghedien could have sliced Nynaeve's weaves with part of her strength and simultaneously inverted some pretty nasty things to take Nynaeve down without Nynaeve even knowing what hit her.

Moghedien's counter attack was pitiful. Probably RJ hadn't worked out inverting etc when he wrote this particular battle, but it nevertheless highlights that Moghedien is no warrior. Graendal and Lanfear were easily the best fighters among the FS women ... from what we saw of them they at least lived up to the "top 6" billing RJ gave them.

How did Cyndane defeat Alivia? malekithe - 31/12/2010 08:03:39 PM 3879 Views
As RJ said, Cyndane knows a LOT more about the OP darius_sedai - 31/12/2010 08:33:47 PM 1820 Views

Dude, he calls it out specifically. Cyndane beat Alivia because of her skill darius_sedai - 01/01/2011 03:22:48 PM 1428 Views

Try spelling it correctly then moratcorlm - 02/01/2011 01:30:23 AM 1319 Views
I did, maybe you made the mistake malekithe - 02/01/2011 07:13:54 PM 1103 Views

Here are few other quotes establishing how little Alivia knows of the OP darius_sedai - 02/01/2011 07:39:36 PM 1341 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 1261 Views
reversed weaves are only useful when dealing with someone who doesn't know they exist. Onarishma - 03/01/2011 07:51:01 PM 1137 Views
Depends on the circumstances really darius_sedai - 04/01/2011 02:17:29 PM 1282 Views
but why would she have any idea that Nynaeve would be able to resist her. Onarishma - 10/01/2011 07:30:49 PM 1200 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 1192 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 1339 Views
that's where she made her mistake darius_sedai - 11/01/2011 04:47:56 PM 1138 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 1241 Views
Well that was always going to happen DrJacJacMcScrumptious - 03/01/2011 11:41:22 PM 1206 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 1215 Views

Re: Cyndane injured Alivia, yes, but Alivia fought Cyndane off. Voscaia Sedai - 02/01/2011 09:56:34 AM 1261 Views
Yup. Joel - 02/01/2011 03:12:39 PM 1214 Views
Small correction - It has not been established that Alivia is stronger than Cyndane unaided... Shannow - 02/01/2011 06:02:53 PM 1233 Views
Alivia has little experience fighting channellers, unlike Lanfear (most likely)... DomA - 03/01/2011 12:56:43 AM 1663 Views
I agree with you moratcorlm - 03/01/2011 01:08:35 AM 1275 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 1335 Views
Where do you get this idea? *NM* moratcorlm - 03/01/2011 07:19:50 PM 689 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 1300 Views
I'm thinking there are 2 items that break webs in different ways darius_sedai - 04/01/2011 07:51:46 PM 1259 Views
Very interesting point. I never noticed that before... Shannow - 05/01/2011 08:02:52 AM 1202 Views
Cadsuane has two types of weavebreakers... fionwe1987 - 05/01/2011 12:51:38 PM 1076 Views
inconclusive ... the ornament may be the same one she used to disrupt Semirhage darius_sedai - 05/01/2011 04:09:39 PM 1161 Views
I'm confused... fionwe1987 - 05/01/2011 06:15:06 PM 1157 Views
Why should Cadsuane's "distance" unraveler not also go cold at nearby channeling? Shannow - 05/01/2011 06:51:49 PM 1180 Views
I'd buy this. Myrdhyn - 05/01/2011 07:12:50 PM 1136 Views
Except Cyndane had never heard of a ter'angreal that can unravel weaves... Shannow - 05/01/2011 07:18:58 PM 1065 Views
Not necessarily. Myrdhyn - 05/01/2011 09:26:49 PM 1169 Views
I doubt it since LTT claims they created the "first" ones in the AOL darius_sedai - 08/01/2011 05:23:53 PM 1098 Views
The first paralis nets, not necessarily the first weave breakers. Myrdhyn - 09/01/2011 09:53:56 PM 1168 Views
Maybe, but that's getting really convoluted darius_sedai - 10/01/2011 03:36:17 AM 1022 Views
Agreed Myrdhyn - 10/01/2011 05:14:45 PM 1121 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 617 Views
It would fit the various scenarios if she had 2 kinds ... darius_sedai - 05/01/2011 03:53:48 PM 1152 Views

I don't think Rand is referring to the system as an indivisible whole. Shannow - 04/01/2011 10:45:24 AM 1256 Views
Besides, he knew of the Well from their previous visit to Far Madding... Shannow - 04/01/2011 11:18:39 AM 1230 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 1314 Views
I agree. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 10/01/2011 07:08:19 PM 1175 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 1236 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 1165 Views
