I'm glad it didn't happen, but for a group of people so vastly different than everyone else, with practically god-like powers (which many had been forgotten since AoL, but still, compared to a normal human, it's a totally different playing field) I just could see it happening, on a larger scale than it did. Yeah, channelers controlled their groups of people, but I was thinking mass take overs or malevolent rulers. Does that say a lot about what I think of people who have power? Probably.


More or less what happened with Shara. But like I said, a lone ruler wouldn't be able to pull it off on their own. There wouldn't be anything to set them apart from the thousands of other channelers. Only way would work on scale larger then some tribe in the Land of Madmen is if they just so happened to luck into an extremely powerful sa'angreal... And following that up with somehow never going to sleep again would likely help a ton...

Otherwise... Likely the only ones who could, maybe, pull off something like that would be the Dragon Blooded, and even they would need to watch their back like a hawk.


Yeah I can see that, and I assume the Creator did make Rand body swap, or at least help, but still, it was very shocking to me. I suppose I should look at it as his way of helping, because he never seemed to do anything else to help. With the Dark One having such a huge presence, talking to people, having so many active legions, I was annoyed that the Creator didn't do...something! But, I wil try to look at saving Rand as his 'something'


But the One Power would seem to come from the Creator, and thus... The Creator does do a ton in the books. He lets them do as they will with his power. For whatever they will.


Beyond that though. When Rand sealed the Dark One, he wove the OP and TP together as one power... Now THAT has some interesting implications.

How did you feel after completing AMoL? - - 24/02/2017 04:03:10 AM 1596 Views
Unsatisfied I suppose or perhaps regretful - 24/02/2017 02:54:12 PM 1045 Views
I'll post this again - 25/02/2017 01:29:16 AM 784 Views
Very good post, can't argue with it. - 25/02/2017 02:40:18 AM 964 Views
I can argue with some of it - 25/02/2017 09:32:17 PM 895 Views
You can say whatever you want, but you're wrong - 25/02/2017 10:40:58 PM 831 Views
We are not discussing concrete facts, so objective error is impossible - 26/02/2017 01:21:46 AM 955 Views
In any discussion, error is possible. In your discussions, it's a near certainty. - 28/02/2017 08:24:59 PM 785 Views
On a different topic, how important do you think that stuff is? - 03/03/2017 07:20:15 AM 901 Views
It's all about suspending disbelief, isn't it? - 04/03/2017 01:13:12 AM 884 Views
That makes a lot of sense. - 08/03/2017 10:18:56 PM 885 Views
On further reflection, I think the religion element being left out is important. - 04/03/2017 04:07:53 AM 809 Views

Personally, "religion" in WoT makes perfect sense... For the AoL. Not so much the Third Age - 09/03/2017 01:55:29 AM 907 Views

I still haven't read it. - 01/03/2017 08:03:53 PM 744 Views
Interesting, any reason why you haven't read it yet? *NM* - 01/03/2017 10:26:21 PM 471 Views
It was the end of their world as I knew it, and I felt fine. *NM* - 02/03/2017 11:13:25 PM 496 Views
You were just happy that you-know-who died! *NM* - 03/03/2017 02:47:38 AM 508 Views
Disappointed, shocked, relieved. - 03/03/2017 04:44:56 PM 747 Views
Curious - what were you hoping to happen to Rand at the end? *NM* - 03/03/2017 09:00:12 PM 523 Views
Me too! - 04/03/2017 10:19:21 AM 696 Views
I cried and I was glad it was over! - 04/03/2017 09:13:03 PM 836 Views
there's just SO MUCH that could happen - 05/03/2017 09:33:26 AM 842 Views
