Responding to a shield doesn't require proactiveness fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 20/01/2016 05:53:24 AM

point being the way a woman embraces saidar is inherently passive while men must seize saidin in an aggressive manner. Males must fight to maintain the connection whereas females float within the embrace of saidar. The more I think about it the more it makes sense that it would take more raw power to cut a man off from saidin than it would cutting a woman off from saidar.

I don't see how one follows the other. How you need to use the Source shouldn't affect how much of the OP is needed to shield you. In fact, since males must fight to maintain the connection, wouldn't it make more sense that shielding them is easier?

There's not much to go on since all the shields except Berowyn's are the same darius_sedai - 21/01/2016 09:55:14 PM 1214 Views
