Re: Well it is stated as being difficult and grows with each additional split fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 24/12/2015 11:37:35 PM

I would equate it to juggling. Splitting off a new flow would be like adding a new object of different size and weight and require faster spinning. I imagine the skill was lost to Aes Sedai because there is risk involved, perhaps it opens one up to burning out if they lose control.

Interesting you bring up juggling, since Egwene does just that while splitting her flows 14 ways. I suspect the imagery RJ used in that scene was deliberate. It IS like juggling, and it requires extraordinary mental effort to track 14 weaves. Actually juggling with 14 weaves... that's a whole other thing.

Yup ... note how silent he's been since the Companion came out *NM* darius_sedai - 18/12/2015 05:50:44 PM 622 Views
I've been silent because the Companion is a joke and hardly worth pointing out all the errors... Shannow - 19/12/2015 09:37:53 AM 1150 Views

It is easy to accept the Companion. All you have to do is reject the evidence in the books. Shannow - 19/12/2015 06:58:41 PM 1108 Views
