When and how was Egwene "forced?" beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 16/05/2014 04:09:59 AM

Later on in the series, it's mentioned that Egwene was "forced" in her power- that is, instead of reaching her channeling potential naturally, she was somehow stressed and pushed to reach her potential much quicker than the norm.

My questions is... when did this happen? When it's mentioned, it's very matter-of-fact, but I can't really remember any specific instance of it happening.

I mean, Egwene came to the Tower within a couple months of Elayne. As far as we know, they had the same training. They went off on the same adventures. True, Egwene was captured by the Seancean, but was that long enough to be "forced?"

So, when did this happen?

I amuse myself.

Didn't Siuan say she took some responsibility, though? beetnemesis - 16/05/2014 01:24:35 PM 811 Views
Not exactly... fionwe1987 - 16/05/2014 02:48:00 PM 828 Views
Egwene says Siuan actually apologized for doing it and sounded uncharacteristically sincere Cannoli - 18/05/2014 10:19:08 PM 805 Views
Can't be... fionwe1987 - 18/05/2014 11:05:59 PM 815 Views
I agree on the evidence. My only point is that Siuan's apology makes no sense. Cannoli - 20/05/2014 03:10:20 AM 823 Views

It was the Seanchan DomA - 17/05/2014 09:05:29 PM 920 Views
But that's the one thing of all her trials for which Siuan has no need to apologize Cannoli - 18/05/2014 10:46:41 PM 737 Views
That doesn't make much sense... fionwe1987 - 18/05/2014 11:24:45 PM 759 Views
More strength = less exhaustion. Channelers being tapped out was a problem at TG Cannoli - 20/05/2014 03:23:19 AM 767 Views
Those weren't Novices though... fionwe1987 - 20/05/2014 03:56:13 AM 772 Views

Makes sense, I guess the Siuan connection is just unclear writing *NM* beetnemesis - 19/05/2014 02:20:45 AM 335 Views
Perhaps character bias Terez - 19/05/2014 03:38:49 AM 787 Views
