not a Flow affinity for people to get it?
Says who? Egwene directly says that strength in Earth is the key to making cuendillar. Therefore strength in Earth may automatically allow for the cuendillar Talent. We don't know.

Androl states outright that he can make a gateway large enough for a Wagon, not a cart, a wagon.

Next thing we'll be posting schematics for wagons and carts ... :P


Sadly I think there is a quote about it somewhere along the road ... I'm almost positive someone posted it at one point or another :)

Egwene would likely also know since she puzzled it out as well darius_sedai - 28/09/2012 07:28:22 PM 1339 Views

Gateway Talent I'd say Sidious - 02/10/2012 08:55:26 AM 1261 Views
I think Androl is proof that gateways are more about a the Talent than strength darius_sedai - 02/10/2012 09:00:26 AM 1285 Views
No I think they're more about strength Sidious - 02/10/2012 09:27:17 AM 1411 Views

Logain may be correct that Rand is stronger, but his reason is not correct darius_sedai - 03/10/2012 02:13:08 PM 1472 Views

still don't think that's proof. It's just practical. Onarishma - 11/10/2012 07:06:15 PM 1158 Views
Interesting point you bring up about fighting for control darius_sedai - 12/10/2012 03:44:26 AM 1140 Views
She wouldn't have to guess! Onarishma - 09/10/2012 08:43:54 PM 1159 Views
Really? Where is that quote? All we've heard is a woman needs to be strong enough darius_sedai - 09/10/2012 11:44:15 PM 1138 Views
There is only one book left. It is definitely not LIKELY Onarishma - 11/10/2012 08:06:04 PM 1168 Views
I can agree with most of that ... I simply believe that the Talent dictates the amount of strength darius_sedai - 12/10/2012 03:53:21 AM 1093 Views

I only discount direct statements when we are explicitly shown that they are incorrect darius_sedai - 13/10/2012 06:55:38 PM 1148 Views
Because let's be honest, it's rarely a Talent and you both know it Sidious - 11/10/2012 04:44:27 PM 1239 Views

Circles don't add the Talents... fionwe1987 - 07/10/2012 03:34:47 AM 1161 Views
I had forgotten about Brendas! darius_sedai - 07/10/2012 05:15:52 AM 1166 Views
I've been thinking about this darius_sedai - 07/10/2012 10:11:22 PM 1109 Views
Circles give added precision, remember? fionwe1987 - 07/10/2012 11:27:05 PM 1145 Views
I get that, but the evidence in front of me from the text is inconsistent to the quote darius_sedai - 08/10/2012 12:11:15 AM 1013 Views
Circles of larger numbers give added benefit... fionwe1987 - 08/10/2012 02:00:58 AM 1198 Views
Egwene with a sa'angreal might be like 15x her natural strength, so maybe 9-10x Rand darius_sedai - 08/10/2012 02:59:26 AM 1116 Views
Highly doubtful... fionwe1987 - 08/10/2012 01:36:47 PM 1153 Views
Meh, I don't really care all that much, I just don't think this adds up to the text. darius_sedai - 08/10/2012 03:31:20 PM 1110 Views
Re: Meh, I don't really care all that much, I just don't think this adds up to the text. Sidious - 08/10/2012 05:57:04 PM 1149 Views
That is actually the crux of my issue darius_sedai - 08/10/2012 07:52:52 PM 1109 Views
That's why its called exponential. It is NOT linear and that why the gains look ridiculous Onarishma - 11/10/2012 10:00:15 PM 1169 Views
Yet that only explains when a circle does certain things darius_sedai - 12/10/2012 04:18:36 AM 1180 Views
the text is not inconsistent. Onarishma - 19/10/2012 08:20:52 PM 1619 Views
I see, it only counts when it supports your point! Why didn't I think of that! darius_sedai - 20/10/2012 03:58:27 AM 1264 Views
RJ specifically said that was ONLY because of Forsaken skill level Onarishma - 11/10/2012 09:02:03 PM 1164 Views
Not so much darius_sedai - 12/10/2012 04:28:44 AM 1165 Views
I'm still arguing about this but I think the evidence is that AS holding a shield are not linked. Onarishma - 11/10/2012 08:59:20 PM 1204 Views
I've given this point some thought too ... It's a dicey subject darius_sedai - 12/10/2012 04:22:23 AM 1066 Views
THAT is proof of the power of LINKING. This is why thirteen Morgases could smash Rand. Onarishma - 11/10/2012 08:41:45 PM 1035 Views
It's one example that supports the exponential increase ... not arguing that darius_sedai - 12/10/2012 04:40:08 AM 1137 Views

fionwe1987 - 07/10/2012 11:35:00 PM 1002 Views
i will gladly find you the quote where it it is the right size and ONLY takes more power. Onarishma - 11/10/2012 11:18:15 PM 1187 Views
I don't think so... Spirit is used in many weaves (like Healing) as part of the weave darius_sedai - 12/10/2012 04:38:29 AM 1157 Views
I was incorrect about the size. but ultimately not incorrect about her evaluation quote within Onarishma - 18/10/2012 03:28:30 PM 1323 Views
