In ToM, when Rand is destroying the Trolloc horde, he raises his hands, and then bends them into fists to finish the weaves.

It seems to me that combat weaves do have some gestures, since it may be difficult for people in a fight to keep their hands still. But it may well be that all those hand gestures aren't strictly necessary, and Semirhage could throw a fireball without hand gestures if needed. Maybe the fireball wouldn't be very precise, though.

The blue sparks are not necessarily the result of a power-wrought blade. Cannoli - 04/02/2011 01:59:46 AM 1272 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 674 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 935 Views

You're misapplying practices. Cannoli - 07/02/2011 01:08:22 PM 1071 Views

She doesn't have to overhear them to know that something is fishy Lord Haart - 21/02/2011 10:35:41 AM 944 Views
There are ways of detecting a man's weaves. ˥ɐ ʎpu∀ɹ - 04/02/2011 04:49:55 AM 1038 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 977 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 1008 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 1088 Views
Not true darius_sedai - 08/02/2011 01:54:17 PM 835 Views
Your example proved my point - LTT only said that it was needed for certain weaves. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/02/2011 04:20:28 PM 1804 Views
Hmm... Sidious - 08/02/2011 05:38:13 PM 954 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 901 Views

Well, that's partially the point I'm bringing up. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/02/2011 03:19:07 PM 905 Views
I disagree that the better assumption is that she set complex and renewing wards darius_sedai - 10/02/2011 06:12:07 PM 1064 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 887 Views
I think this is the crux of the matter Sidious - 09/02/2011 03:32:18 PM 940 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 916 Views
