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? - 16/05/2014 01:24:35 PM 811 Views

Egwene says Siuan actually apologized for doing it and sounded uncharacteristically sincere - 18/05/2014 10:19:08 PM 809 Views

But that's the one thing of all her trials for which Siuan has no need to apologize - 18/05/2014 10:46:41 PM 738 Views
That doesn't make much sense... - 18/05/2014 11:24:45 PM 760 Views
More strength = less exhaustion. Channelers being tapped out was a problem at TG - 20/05/2014 03:23:19 AM 768 Views

Makes sense, I guess the Siuan connection is just unclear writing *NM* - 19/05/2014 02:20:45 AM 335 Views
