I don't necessarily think that's true darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 21/01/2016 05:07:40 PM

I think we just see it differently ... I'm not really sure RJ had this clearly mapped out. Especially since it seems like there weren't even side notes on the subject

Well, okay, but I don't see any viable alternative explanation. If you seriously think a buffer-less sa'angreal can allow for unlimited magnification of the OP, Callandor and Vora's wand are obviously more powerful than the CK, which means Lanfear was wrong about Callandor, as are the Glossaries, the BWB, and the Companion!

But it's the only logical conclusion when we consider angreal as a "pool of additive power" ... for me it's easier to understand how a magnifier model could create burnout levels of power when a buffer is missing because there is essentially no cap on access to the power here. Compared to an additive model it just doesn't make sense to me that a lack of a buffer allows access to additional power beyond what the angreal was designed for.

You're forgetting the other side, though. - 19/01/2016 08:19:59 PM 1530 Views
yes but it doesn't proactively do this - 19/01/2016 10:06:25 PM 1371 Views
Responding to a shield doesn't require proactiveness - 20/01/2016 05:53:24 AM 1300 Views
it's a visualization thing really - 20/01/2016 04:39:08 PM 1333 Views
Not the crux of the debate... - 21/01/2016 03:37:40 AM 1413 Views

There's not much to go on since all the shields except Berowyn's are the same - 21/01/2016 09:55:14 PM 1290 Views
That's precisely my point - 21/01/2016 10:09:02 PM 1403 Views
now you are speculating based on a lack of evidence - 21/01/2016 10:39:13 PM 1253 Views
There's actual evidence: - 22/01/2016 06:25:25 AM 1404 Views
what's dense here is that you keep putting in quotes that don't support your position - 22/01/2016 03:28:16 PM 1597 Views

from the very beginning of this conversation I've been saying I'm theorizing - 26/01/2016 04:09:19 PM 1309 Views
Oh well then I agree with you - 26/01/2016 08:50:55 AM 1644 Views

Yes, but that's not what I'm arguing... - 16/01/2016 08:56:15 AM 1244 Views

Don't those two facts explain each other? - 16/01/2016 03:24:44 PM 1297 Views
It actually seems counterintuitive to me - 19/01/2016 07:15:37 PM 1233 Views

agree to disagree I suppose ... I don't see it this way *NM* - 20/01/2016 04:41:16 PM 752 Views
I didn't sense disagreement so much as confusion over my position. *NM* - 21/01/2016 12:01:16 AM 708 Views
