I don't agree with some of this Sidious Send a noteboard - 28/09/2009 09:37:13 PM

In this case the leader can throw a saidin fireball that is 35% more potent than he could have generated alone, without even tapping into the saidar that he has access to. And, he can combine all of the saidin & saidar he has access to into one fireball that is 170% more potent than he could have generated alone.


I don't think there's any evidence of this. The benefit of a circle derives from its ability to focus multiple energies on a single point, and therefore the precision of a circle is what gives it power. If a person links it doesn't make their own ability any stronger - and that applies to all circles.

In a mixed link, to gain the exponential benefit, the leader of the circle, in this case, the male channeler, must draw on saidin and saidar to make his fireball much more powerful. You're suggesting that merely being linked to a woman is enough to make his saidin more powerful which I completely disagree with.

If he weaves a fireball of 1 saidin, it will remain 1 saidin even in a mixed link. However, if he draws 0.5 saidin and 0.5 saidar - the fireball will have a strength of 2. The combination of the two powers and their repelling-attractive effect is what provides the strength, not the link its self.

Why would saidar surprise him? - 26/09/2009 03:40:23 PM 782 Views

He thought they were Aes Sedai who could not channel? - 26/09/2009 07:02:42 PM 669 Views
He did not know they were Aes Sedai until after the mixed weave struck his warding. - 26/09/2009 10:13:10 PM 663 Views
You're right. I misremembered. *NM* - 26/09/2009 10:17:22 PM 299 Views
