A The Light clearly has the overwhelming advantage in channelers and so angreal and sa'angreal may in some ways be more dangerous than helpful if the Shadow should obtain any, ESPECIALLY one such as the Choedan Kal, which we know they have lusted after. But I do wonder, is it more than that? The final moment describes the actual sa'angreal as even more powerful than anything being channeled through the access key, so perhaps it was actually too powerful for the pattern to deal with. Much to think about and thanks for your post!!

Does the light really have the overwhelming advantage in channelers? There were some 250 black ajah mentioned in Verin's notebook out of how many? Plus the black tower is a festering hole of shadow lords if Taim's influence is as strong as it seems at the end of KOD. I guess there's the windfinders, Aiel and Seanchan, but i figure that many of those would also be black - plus with the opportunities for AOL forsaken to teach them new weaves, i wonder whether it just seems that the light has the advantage in channelers because we see the story primarily from their point of view.

If i recall correctly, by the end of the AOL/war of shadows, the Aes Sedai were split about 50:50, and the war was very close - I'd assume a similar pattern this time around.

just food for thought...

I agree with you Sidious - 30/10/2009 03:24:22 PM 1284 Views

don't forget you can't touch the true power without the DO's permission mazza3 - 30/10/2009 03:31:25 PM 1080 Views

I think he will overlook it Sidious - 30/10/2009 03:46:25 PM 1077 Views

It also might be that Rand used Moridin as a conduit, making the DO's permission irrelevant. RandAllThor - 30/10/2009 03:58:04 PM 1039 Views

Indeed... Moridin is definitely worried about the connection Sidious - 30/10/2009 03:59:59 PM 1147 Views

Right RandAllThor - 30/10/2009 04:06:26 PM 1261 Views

i agree it was def in the DO's best interests to give it to rand THEN, just not when.... mazza3 - 30/10/2009 05:57:03 PM 1189 Views

Seems to me destroying the DO with balefire would take a force equal to his. The Name With No Man - 06/11/2009 09:57:47 AM 909 Views

I think the TP IS the DO - sealing the Bore with it is illogical and impossible. Lord Haart - 27/11/2009 12:13:29 AM 853 Views

where'd you get the number of Rand's Asha'man? Deadsy - 30/10/2009 10:12:00 PM 900 Views

I must be confused then cougar10 - 30/10/2009 06:11:38 PM 987 Views

No... you're right. beetnemesis - 30/10/2009 07:02:05 PM 960 Views

Hello! The TP can only be used with permission! fionwe1987 - 30/10/2009 10:45:58 PM 1058 Views

Nope Sidious - 31/10/2009 05:18:03 AM 1439 Views

I'm sorry that's wrong... fionwe1987 - 31/10/2009 08:58:14 AM 974 Views

Believe what you want Sidious - 31/10/2009 09:08:52 AM 981 Views

No, he's right beetnemesis - 31/10/2009 04:59:34 PM 1115 Views

That's what I said *NM* Sidious - 31/10/2009 05:24:55 PM 455 Views

I don't need your permission for that... fionwe1987 - 31/10/2009 09:57:34 PM 900 Views

Re: I don't need your permission for that... Sidious - 01/11/2009 06:54:20 AM 891 Views

You are incorrect darius_sedai - 27/12/2009 10:44:36 PM 885 Views

you're counting on the DO of being absent minded? Japhy - 17/04/2010 10:59:41 PM 849 Views

The Foresaken had their permission revoked, but the DO can enact consequences on them... FanEditor10 - 29/04/2010 04:35:27 AM 1013 Views

I think using the TP against the DO is wishful thinking. redhand - 31/10/2009 04:33:33 PM 964 Views

Generally agree. Joel - 06/11/2009 09:07:57 AM 1009 Views
