Struggling a bit are you? Shannow Send a noteboard - 21/11/2009 06:30:13 AM
Your basic problem is that you seem to think a gateway HAS to be opened RIGHT NEXT to the channeler. Let me help you out.


KOD, the battle at the Manor. Rand is making Deathgates.

"The familiar silvery-blue vertical streaks appeared, spaced out not far from the manor house, GROUND RAND KNEW WELL, rotating into openings four paces by four.

Once you know the place, you don't need to be right AT the place to make a gateway there.

You can make a gateway as far as you can make a weave, as long as you KNOW THE GROUND.

So you spend some time at a spot until you know it. Then you move a half a mile or so away from it.

Then you make a gateway there.

They would have to know the bottom of the ocean very well to create. *NM* - 20/11/2009 05:02:50 PM 395 Views
Wouldn't be too hard, given Rand's trick. *NM* - 20/11/2009 05:12:22 PM 488 Views

He managed to do great fits with the power he had. - 21/11/2009 05:12:52 PM 767 Views
