I came up with another possibility after first replying to this issue... Shannow Send a noteboard - 15/12/2009 02:11:41 PM
WH (To lose the sun) - Cadsuane herself, garbed in unrelieved dark green, sat easily on a tall horse with a black man and tail, maintaining the weave that made the gateway… Nesune Bihara, all in bronze wool, rode through the gateway looking around as if trying to see everything at once, and then Elza Penfel …


That's quite large for someone of her strength. However, if angreal make gateways larger then it contradicts the whole concept of gateway size being linked to your potential, since angreal don't increase your potential, just the amount of Power you are able to hold.


I'm not sure if it really contradicts it. Two women who link can suddenly make a much bigger gateway, and yet it's still woven by only one of those two women. How does the gateway measure the combined potentials? I very much doubt it does, and that it has to do partly with creating a hive mind that allows a greater sized gateway. However, considering angreal and sa'angreal contain buffers against mental damage, they may allow larger gateways. We've never seen an example, really.


The women rode through in single file through Cadsuane's gateway. Since she didn't have to make gateways for large armies like the Ashaman in PoD or Neal and Grady, or Sammael in CoS, she probably made the gateway higher but narrower, in order to make it more convenient to ride through.

Therefore, a gateway by Cadsuane that is 8 feet by 6 feet = 48 square feet, is still smaller than Egwene's gateway of 8 feet by 8 feet = 64 square feet.

Gateway size and One Power strength - a theoretical model... Shannow - 15/12/2009 08:42:26 AM 790 Views
There's this.... Light in the Night - 15/12/2009 09:58:26 AM 440 Views
Yes Shannow - 15/12/2009 10:21:54 AM 343 Views
Rand's later quotes confirm, but also refute this. Also, Egwene throws a wrench in things..... Logain - 15/12/2009 04:02:33 PM 441 Views
both of thoes example still fit into this theory Apsalar Shadowdancer - 16/12/2009 08:49:35 AM 353 Views
who's gateway size have we seen increase? Onarishma - 15/12/2009 12:06:58 PM 404 Views

Nice points, I wonder... Etzel - 15/12/2009 12:16:22 PM 351 Views
Angreal or sa'angreal do not increase your gateway size... Shannow - 15/12/2009 12:21:10 PM 359 Views

I'm pretty sure that Rand makes the maximum possible gateway for one person... Shannow - 15/12/2009 12:41:48 PM 314 Views
Yes, just wanted to mention this point. *NM* Etzel - 15/12/2009 01:03:46 PM 392 Views

and in the TGS Siuan uses Vora's sa'angreal darius_sedai - 15/12/2009 04:56:34 PM 349 Views
I agree w/ you. Siuan and Vora's sa'angreal refutes one of the points in the original post *NM* Logain - 15/12/2009 05:08:23 PM 171 Views
Another theory Ryan - 15/12/2009 05:26:45 PM 338 Views
Excellent points darius_sedai - 15/12/2009 06:08:09 PM 320 Views

What about Siuan and Vora's sa'angreal? Logain - 15/12/2009 04:06:55 PM 358 Views
Yes, pretty much Sidious - 15/12/2009 01:41:34 PM 325 Views

It seems to be a mental thing Sidious - 15/12/2009 02:06:25 PM 322 Views
