Its the sword thats not a sword (its a night light!) djwilson300 Send a noteboard - 04/05/2012 04:47:27 PM
The way he's holding the sword is awkward, but I don't mind it too much. I like this version of Callandor more than the old one. The old one seemed so...bulky and ridiculous for a sa'angreal shaped like a weapon. If you're not going to need much function, wouldn't you want to go with something less...gangly? This sword also mirrors the heron-marked sword more.



Sword Position-

We all Know Callandor glows crazy bright when the power is surging through it. How would you hold it so that the light could be used if you were going into someplace very dark, say the entrance into the pit of doom, and not have that light beaming back into your own eyes?

I think the holding position is due to the brilliance of the sword. Also, Rand can not channel that close to the bore without nasty side effects, so using Callandor as a night light actually makes a bit of sense.

Egwene made many things "clear;" I dug up all the ToM quotes for a post near this time last year Joel - 11/05/2012 01:12:05 PM 2590 Views
