Writers like to have it come back to bite him in the ass a lot.

Doesn't happen in WoT?

It can, and WAS to Perrin in AMoL, be done with TAR. To say nothing of compulsion itself. Which though fairly light case as compulsion goes, is by extension why bonding a Warder against their will is stated to be seen as equivalent to rape.

That stuff was only changing one thing or imposing a motivation, not erasing his memories or personality.

First, who said anything about a complete overhaul?


Second... Even that kind of thing has happened in WoT. Between the stronger, of at least more blunt, forms of cumpulsion effectively crushing people's minds and turning them into meat puppets, and Moghedien using TAR to turn Birgitte, mind and all, into a toddler. Even threatened to give Nynaeve the mind of a horse.

Which sister-in-law nightmare come true of Elayne's would you prefer? - 13/10/2016 12:24:13 AM 1379 Views
Hah and all the kids will be thinking that Aunt Berelain is soooo cool - 13/10/2016 04:01:03 PM 991 Views
LOL ... well, maybe she gets to poke at Berelaine - 13/10/2016 09:35:25 PM 920 Views
Does Niella count as "sister-in-law"? Elayne would be technically married to Aviendha after all... - 14/10/2016 06:33:54 AM 1054 Views
But would he have gone as far as he did making those choices if he wasn't a warder? Her warder esp.? - 15/10/2016 01:12:07 AM 1050 Views
I believe he would have regardless. His decisions have always been emotional/pride based - 17/10/2016 03:48:18 AM 816 Views
Egwene has MANY faults... But she is hardly to blame for Gawyn being screwed up. - 18/10/2016 06:12:00 AM 926 Views
I wouldn't say Egwene was at fault in any way - 18/10/2016 04:15:34 PM 858 Views

That seems out of character for RJ to me - 15/01/2017 11:18:13 PM 1282 Views
It might surprise you to learn that I agree - 10/01/2017 11:20:45 AM 898 Views
You could say the same about all of the characters though - 15/01/2017 11:07:18 PM 1168 Views

Well, that term is even less relevant to what happened. - 18/01/2017 11:31:20 AM 853 Views
