it's different Sidious Send a noteboard - 04/02/2011 02:21:44 PM

Rand could feel the Source ebbing while Lanfear was shielding him. It was his only clue, so he knew where the weave was. When she later used pain weaves he didn't know where they were, so he mentioned that he needed to strike blindly. Luckily he found his target.

Lanfear had a warning that he would try something when he tried to catch her in Air. After that she probably started placing defensive measures. Its the only reasonable way she could slice a rain of blows. The fact that he could force her back against the wagon implies that she had an instant's warning to react, and each time it got closer. I actually think Rj portrayed it superbly, which is why Rand showed such remorse that he didn't use lightning or fire.

Question about Rand and Lanfear's battle before Moiraine's game-saving tackle, and other ?s _Big_Easy_ - 04/02/2011 01:05:56 AM 1914 Views

The blue sparks are not necessarily the result of a power-wrought blade. Cannoli - 04/02/2011 01:59:46 AM 1230 Views
I thought that RJ had confirmed at some point that Thom had power wrought knives. *NM* HyogaRott - 04/02/2011 02:06:14 PM 655 Views
he may have, but it has also been implied that the blue light was because of something special/uniqu mazza3 - 04/02/2011 09:18:02 PM 896 Views

You're misapplying practices. Cannoli - 07/02/2011 01:08:22 PM 1031 Views

She doesn't have to overhear them to know that something is fishy Lord Haart - 21/02/2011 10:35:41 AM 895 Views
There are ways of detecting a man's weaves. ˥ɐ ʎpu∀ɹ - 04/02/2011 04:49:55 AM 998 Views
Some ideas Sidious - 04/02/2011 08:26:09 AM 878 Views
No, I think RJ just didn't think it through, seeing as Rand sliced Lanfear's invisible weaves too... Shannow - 04/02/2011 11:42:38 AM 937 Views

So what stopped Lanfear from flicking him against the skull with a surprise club of Air... Shannow - 04/02/2011 02:33:53 PM 1008 Views

Gestures and Weaves go hand in hand and since flows originate from the body you can logically darius_sedai - 05/02/2011 05:45:00 PM 968 Views
In general, only third age Aes Sedai gesture when they weave - it's a block imposed by training. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/02/2011 06:20:33 PM 1042 Views
Not true darius_sedai - 08/02/2011 01:54:17 PM 798 Views
Your example proved my point - LTT only said that it was needed for certain weaves. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/02/2011 04:20:28 PM 1771 Views
Hmm... Sidious - 08/02/2011 05:38:13 PM 919 Views
It's a flawed and incorrect given all the examples we've seen in the books. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/02/2011 08:36:32 PM 854 Views
Verin could not see the weaves darius_sedai - 08/02/2011 10:16:56 PM 905 Views
Also... fionwe1987 - 08/02/2011 11:35:20 PM 812 Views
Well, that's partially the point I'm bringing up. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/02/2011 03:19:07 PM 857 Views
I disagree that the better assumption is that she set complex and renewing wards darius_sedai - 10/02/2011 06:12:07 PM 1026 Views
I never said she could - I said she sensed them, and felt the woman's channeling. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/02/2011 03:04:00 PM 843 Views
I think this is the crux of the matter Sidious - 09/02/2011 03:32:18 PM 897 Views
I think she had a ward to detect saidin, and when it was triggered, she guessed it would be Air RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/02/2011 04:40:46 PM 881 Views
