your memory is a little fuzzy, it's actually much simpler than you think Jim Send a noteboard - 17/11/2009 02:46:24 AM
Rand's shield was being maintained by 3 AS when he broke free, and he stilled all 3.

The reason only one AS is usually needed to maintain a shield on a woman is because they are usually close in strength. Unless someone is much stronger than the person holding the shield a weaker channeler can shield a stronger one. Cadsuanne decided to have 3 AS hold the shield as an extra precaution, not knowing what tricks Semi might know.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
