INTERVIEW: Oct 28th, 2005
KOD Signing Report - Jason Wolfbrother (Paraphrased)
JASON WOLFBROTHER
Was Callandor constructed during the War of Power?
ROBERT JORDAN
Yes.
JASON WOLFBROTHER
Was it used in the War of Power?
ROBERT JORDAN
Yes, that is how the flaw was discovered.
JASON WOLFBROTHER
Why didn't they ward/buffer Callandor?
ROBERT JORDAN
The flaw with Callandor is simply a manufacturing flaw. He went on to talk about how they were at the end of their tech age with only a few sho-wings and jo-cars left. A couple of shocklances were still around but they were not as prevalent as they had been. Anyway they had been mass producing ter'angreal, angreal, and sa'angreal, and there are bound to be flaws with the products. The flaw with Callandor is simply one such flaw.

What was your theory at the time?
I had put forth the flaw being deliberate and thought it possible that Callandor was a sa'angreal that also worked for TP ... It's been a while back now so I'm not 100%sure on the details.
Domani Drag Queen in the White Tower ... Aran'gar watch out!
What's so special about Callandor?

Honestly, I'm more curious about the "Dragon-only" barrier that surrounded it

Using the True Power to win Tarmon Gai'don goes against every moral in the series.
