Re: Not weird. There is a good reason. Zalvera Send a noteboard - 20/05/2014 02:23:13 AM

View original postBut you're on the wrong track. There's no reason to think this person didn't channel much. There was another reason why she didn't reach her potential.


View original postI also find this kind of thing more interesting than strength rankings, which is why I dropped the hint. I think it can be figured out; it's not difficult really; it just requires out-of-the-box thinking.

If it's not the amount of channeling she's doing, and it's not the Oath Rod, is it the kind of channeling? Maybe it takes the stress and adrenaline of fighting with the Power to push you to your limits? Or it's something to do with the lack of experimentation and innovation in their weaves? Are you better off working out your own weaves than learning someone else's? Or maybe it's to do with the testing process? The Arches or that amnesia weave they hit you with for the Aes Sedai test?

Edit: oh, or, is it men? Do you need to link and channel with saidin as well if you want to reach your limits?
