Well, we don't know this and no connection between the has really been made. Plus, I like Sidious' idea that due to Aginor's weakened body, it wasn't capable of handling the channeling he's used to and that's a good part of the reason why he died.


I don't know, IMO no matter how you look at it he was basically burned out and died from overuse of the Power. It's similar to what happened to LTT when he created Dragonmount. I also like Sid's explanation of why Aginor couldn't handle the Eye though... makes sense to me.

This is an issue. I think that the weave the Nyn discovered has been improved upon - it's still imperfect, but just a bit better. We just don't know enough about how much of strenth drop is involved.


Well now your theory is getting more complex. On top of Cyndane being healed someone figured out a better way to Heal stilling (woman on woman) than Nynaeve, and she's just a regular AS? I think that's highly unlikely!

I think it's pretty clear that there is a 2/3(ish) drop in power. Siuan and Leane point out that they aren't even 1/2 as strong as before, but are both strong enough to still be AS... and since they were different levels before stilling, but are the same now, it seems like a % drop is more likely than a flat "tax"... if Siuan was a 50 and Leane a 45 before they would be more like a 16 and a 15 now, almost no difference.

Of course she does - she was burned out/severed as she enters finnland and somehow she died there. it's all tied up together.

Anyway, while I don't think your theory is impossible, I also don't know that I would call it the most simple explanation!


That's pure speculation. There is no real evidence in the books that she was stilled/burned out or even killed on the way through the doorway.

My theory is that the DO transmigrated her and at that time weakened her. Simple, easy, done. Of course you could be 100% accurate, but I don't think your theory is more likely due to being simple! I think your theory has a lot of "IF this happened AND that happened then MAYBE the answer is..."

Well, it's simpler than any other explanation I've seen.


I think it's much simpler that Lanfear died, was transmigrated by the DO and had her ability reduced at that time as a form of punishment along with the Mind Trap. The meaning of her name implies as much too "Last Chance" is pretty ominous.

I'm betting she decides to stay a non-channeler and put her past behind her. *NM* RandAllThor - 01/12/2009 11:09:32 PM 649 Views
I don't think Moiraine was stilled. Gher - 01/12/2009 11:19:03 PM 1051 Views
what about Lan's bond kcf - 01/12/2009 11:23:35 PM 1016 Views
I think that the doorway melting did that. Gher - 02/12/2009 12:49:02 AM 1093 Views

The doorway melting and snapping the bond is simple enough for me *NM* Deadsy - 01/12/2009 11:24:07 PM 511 Views
as I said above, far too many assumptions in that idea *NM* kcf - 01/12/2009 11:27:12 PM 526 Views

I think that since Moiraine was in another dimension, the Bond passed to the closest holder. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/12/2009 11:43:15 PM 1034 Views
but she'd been there before kcf - 01/12/2009 11:51:41 PM 1101 Views
I don't understand why you think there are too many assumptions darius_sedai - 02/12/2009 12:57:50 AM 1057 Views
Exactly. Thanks for translating in fewer words than I would have used *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/12/2009 04:21:06 PM 602 Views
that assumes quite a bit about the structure of the bond kcf - 02/12/2009 07:45:37 PM 1078 Views
no more than the assumptions of the actions take on the other side of the door! darius_sedai - 03/12/2009 07:51:59 AM 1099 Views

LOL ... Lanfear doesn't need Ilyena to be an LTT stalker! darius_sedai - 04/12/2009 07:09:02 PM 1006 Views
Right, But Ilyena Doesn't Need Lanfear for That Either. The Name With No Man - 04/12/2009 07:17:29 PM 1018 Views
I'm 99.99% sure RJ said that the DO had to grab a soul quickly after death or it was lost darius_sedai - 04/12/2009 09:13:18 PM 868 Views

Moiraine will make a huge difference to TG (Min's viewing) so I think she will need to channel. *NM* Lord Haart - 02/12/2009 05:38:03 AM 519 Views
