And a generation later, the same old problem arises. New channelers, with no one to stop them. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 31/10/2009 10:28:35 PM
What stops the people now in control of the channelers misusing them?
If they think the one power cant be allowed then they should kill channelers.
At least with the a'dam they can nip them in the bud. They need channelers to stop channelers. I'm not saying that's how I'd do it if I were in charge. I would have my captive channelers concentrate on researching ter'angreal in order to find a way for normal people to draw on the Power, or at least create weapons that allow normal people to take on channelers, then get rid of my captives, or only take enough to maintain my supply of counter devices. Assuming an inability to do that, your suggestion is more silly than honest.

Except the Seanchan are not spoiled chidlren who mistake "wishful thinking" for a plan Cannoli - 31/10/2009 04:48:45 AM 938 Views
Or he could have used the Choedan Kal TheCrownless - 31/10/2009 12:21:42 PM 890 Views
What Choedan Kal? *NM* Cannoli - 31/10/2009 10:15:24 PM 358 Views
The big shiney ball thing he destroyed at the end of the book TheCrownless - 01/11/2009 07:50:15 PM 826 Views
Destroyed. My point exactly. *NM* Cannoli - 06/11/2009 04:40:16 AM 340 Views
For what? Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 12:03:57 AM 885 Views
if he was it wasn't on purpose. I think he was just actively trying to use his ta'verenness *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 12:15:32 AM 364 Views
I dont think it's compulsion. TheCrownless - 31/10/2009 12:16:00 AM 821 Views
Actually, I think it's the other way around. Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 12:21:49 AM 792 Views
He did the same thing with Cady TheCrownless - 31/10/2009 12:25:51 AM 811 Views
Personally, I thought he was using the TP to do those things. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/11/2009 07:37:31 PM 754 Views
It wasn't Compulsion...Sanderson just sort of messed up IMO Marshall - 04/11/2009 11:38:38 PM 718 Views

I don't care for Tuon at all. I'd be okay if her and the Seanchan were obliterated. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 31/10/2009 12:44:22 AM 360 Views
And how is that any different from me with Egwene (except she & I are the same race)? *NM* Cannoli - 31/10/2009 04:51:17 AM 361 Views
Have I ever criticized you for disliking Egwene? TaskmasterJack - 31/10/2009 01:06:39 PM 779 Views
Why not Highlords in Tear? redhand - 31/10/2009 02:10:07 AM 908 Views
You dont really get it. TheCrownless - 31/10/2009 12:23:35 PM 777 Views

Not at all. Their position is perfectly justified by their experiences. Cannoli - 31/10/2009 04:29:25 AM 880 Views
The a'dam and leashing of channelers does not change the fact that the OP can be misued... fionwe1987 - 31/10/2009 09:17:20 AM 872 Views
Which is why people should NOT be MORE angered toward Seanchan than toward WT. redhand - 31/10/2009 06:22:13 PM 756 Views
That's complete hogwash. fionwe1987 - 31/10/2009 10:23:50 PM 795 Views
Using the word "Hogwash" is inviting flames, but I will be nice about it redhand - 01/11/2009 05:44:16 AM 820 Views

Several valid points... Legolas - 31/10/2009 05:17:09 PM 826 Views
I wonder what if Egwene happen to be a child kidnapped at Flame and sent to WT redhand - 31/10/2009 06:30:34 PM 806 Views
Your point has some validity for the actual Seanchan damane. Legolas - 31/10/2009 06:43:40 PM 830 Views
The sul'dam should be destroyed Sidious - 31/10/2009 05:14:06 AM 763 Views
