I think that... Shannow Send a noteboard - 23/11/2009 06:14:29 PM
Hi, perhaps my second post in 4 years or so. I'm so prolific.

Anyway...

I always thought that it's possibe that the SOUL is what gives the link to the Power, whereas the BODY determines how strong the person will be.
By this idea (Not that I'm assuming it's right by any means...) that a channeller reborn into another life/time or a channeller given a new body would have to be born into a body which also had the capacity to channel, 1 out of the 2 won't cut it. Kind of like a version of cod-genetics I'm trying to sell here I suppose.

Not sure what about the body determines strength, but I doubt that it's something physical such as body mass as over three thousand years and more even the thickest channellers would have noticed such a trend as Arnold Scwarzeneger types always being the most powerful!

Feel free to pick holes/drive lorrys through the holes in my idea!

Also, if anything wants explaining more if I've not been clear or this has been posted before, sorry.


Your soul determines your maximum strength, and your body can either allow full access to this strength, or reduce it if it is not strong enough.

In other words, for maximum strength you need a maximum strength soul plus a maximum strength body. If either one isn't maximum, your strength is limited to the weaker of the two aspects.

Very interesting, but they wasted a lot of time on questions they knew would be RAFO. - 23/11/2009 02:17:47 PM 1322 Views

He seems to indicate that RAFO doesn't necessarily mean we'll ever get an answer, though. - 23/11/2009 03:43:26 PM 1349 Views

I'm not going to argue the theory, but, Moiraine won't give a crap about deference after her ordeal. *NM* - 23/11/2009 09:13:30 PM 589 Views
