You are incorrect; I'm actually thinking that you only skimmed certain sections! RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 29/12/2009 06:38:37 PM
Unless you actually have quotes and selections from the series where a character clearly identifies Alviarin's mark, the Shadowspawns special abilities and the Dark One's reality bending powers, you're operating entirely on theoretics.

You won't find those quotes and selections...because they are not there. I'm primarily interested in channelers and as a result of this, I've read the BWB and most of the Power/Forsaken/Channeling related sections of the books multiple times.

I think you are so quick to name the True Power as a source for anything Dark-related that you forget that the taint of Shadar Logoth, Dreamwalking, Wolfbrother/Wolfsister abilities, Sniffing, and indeed parallel dimensions and other lifetimes have nothing to do with the Power.

You also forget a key factor: The One Power is not the Creator's essence; from all we have been told, it is the force the Creator put in place to drive the Wheel of Time. The Creator may have originated it, but we don't know if it is Her essence or not. The True Power, conversely, must operate on a parallel path - it is not the Dark One's essence, per se, but an additional force that the Dark One can control. The Dark One is a sentient intelligence from beyond space/time - it's not limited to using one force to accomplish it's goals. In fact, we've seen no evidence that transmigration has anything to do with the TP, either. Once again, if you are going to be so insistent about this, provide a quote or section that says so. I suspect all you will find is the same thing the rest of us found - a bunch of uncertain statements that don't suffice to substantively answer or refute most people's questions.

Fain's Myrddraal - 28/12/2009 01:45:58 PM 1850 Views
Nope, Myrddraal have been nothing but cannon fodder since book four *NM* - 28/12/2009 03:01:01 PM 442 Views
except, of course, for Shaidar Haran *NM* - 28/12/2009 03:12:17 PM 452 Views
But what was the purpose then? - 28/12/2009 03:43:01 PM 822 Views
To show the relationship between Fain and DO - 28/12/2009 03:52:59 PM 780 Views
Maybe... - 28/12/2009 04:02:42 PM 803 Views

Slayer also hunts Rand - 28/12/2009 03:57:11 PM 829 Views
I think it's possible that Slayer could have killed Asmo - 28/12/2009 04:35:57 PM 741 Views
The explanations - 28/12/2009 05:06:02 PM 1004 Views
Perhaps, I still don't buy it, but if that's the way it turns out I won't be shocked - 28/12/2009 05:20:06 PM 925 Views
Your reaction would be similar to BS's then - 28/12/2009 05:57:44 PM 1875 Views
I don't really have a strong opinion on which suspect did it - 28/12/2009 06:03:07 PM 744 Views
Well... - 28/12/2009 06:42:16 PM 797 Views
Indeed *NM* - 28/12/2009 06:55:52 PM 397 Views

The case for Graendal was already weak before TGS... - 28/12/2009 08:13:07 PM 779 Views
Re: The case for Graendal was already weak before TGS... - 28/12/2009 10:19:24 PM 843 Views
The reason is... - 29/12/2009 11:58:24 AM 826 Views
The reasoning is very weak. - 29/12/2009 03:34:19 PM 822 Views
If you mean... - 29/12/2009 04:01:25 PM 895 Views
A few points - 29/12/2009 04:14:12 PM 749 Views
You are wrong... - 29/12/2009 04:25:09 PM 737 Views
Thanks for the quote .. obviously hadn't heard that one before! - 29/12/2009 04:31:37 PM 843 Views
Key word - "possibly" - 29/12/2009 04:38:46 PM 752 Views
As said, if you just compare it to Alviarin's mark, it's clear. - 29/12/2009 05:06:47 PM 717 Views
Re: As said, if you just compare it to Alviarin's mark, it's clear. - 29/12/2009 06:08:09 PM 648 Views
Well, it protects you of Shadowspawn, not that bad. - 29/12/2009 06:12:04 PM 727 Views
I don't think what happened to Fain or Slayer are "gifts" - 29/12/2009 06:26:15 PM 651 Views
Slayer calls it "gifts" in his PoV - 29/12/2009 06:37:49 PM 695 Views
I think you are stretching the reality a bit - 29/12/2009 06:42:10 PM 737 Views
You confuse it a bit... - 29/12/2009 06:57:07 PM 801 Views
I think you've got it backwards - 29/12/2009 07:12:02 PM 693 Views
However... - 29/12/2009 07:16:08 PM 739 Views
I wasn't arguing that point - 29/12/2009 08:13:25 PM 960 Views
Some things don't have to be spelled out, if they are that clear... *NM* - 29/12/2009 08:18:05 PM 689 Views
clearly they do since people are discussing it! - 29/12/2009 09:37:00 PM 673 Views
Yes; it is not readily apparant that the mark was made with the TP. - 29/12/2009 06:12:07 PM 734 Views
Sorry, but that is utter nonsense - 29/12/2009 06:24:54 PM 828 Views
You are incorrect; I'm actually thinking that you only skimmed certain sections! - 29/12/2009 06:38:37 PM 786 Views
Simply read the books and what the authors said... - 29/12/2009 06:55:42 PM 739 Views
Sorry, I think you have an opinion and read everything to support it in this case. - 29/12/2009 07:02:42 PM 709 Views
Ok, then we play dumb, if you like... - 29/12/2009 07:14:58 PM 817 Views
Because the Dark One is not merely a super channeler. - 29/12/2009 07:21:21 PM 837 Views
Well, I disagree of course... - 29/12/2009 07:36:19 PM 956 Views
You are mistaken on quite a few counts. - 29/12/2009 04:37:51 PM 899 Views
Actually... - 29/12/2009 05:04:54 PM 799 Views
BWB says... - 29/12/2009 05:48:40 PM 1041 Views
Exactly. *NM* - 29/12/2009 06:12:30 PM 370 Views
Well... - 29/12/2009 06:18:08 PM 846 Views
Just pointing out that your comment about Lanfear and Moggy not being assassins - 29/12/2009 06:37:21 PM 748 Views
No... - 29/12/2009 06:47:07 PM 940 Views
Re: No... - 29/12/2009 07:00:20 PM 913 Views
Again... - 29/12/2009 07:10:12 PM 671 Views
So you dismiss the actual assassinations the Forsaken have performed on-screen? - 29/12/2009 07:26:55 PM 709 Views
Again... - 29/12/2009 07:47:57 PM 646 Views
I think any Forsaken is capable of doing it. - 29/12/2009 08:05:10 PM 746 Views
Then another Forsaken, e.g. Sammael.. - 29/12/2009 08:16:50 PM 621 Views
Re: Then another Forsaken, e.g. Sammael.. - 29/12/2009 09:21:23 PM 713 Views
She kidnapped the Sharan's ... who's to say she hasn't killed others? *NM* - 29/12/2009 08:17:28 PM 380 Views
Yeah, after TFoH! We are looking for clues before LoC, guys! *sigh* - 29/12/2009 08:31:13 PM 592 Views
Where did I say this was a clue to her doing it? - 29/12/2009 09:58:29 PM 834 Views
I don't say... - 30/12/2009 12:08:27 PM 897 Views
Most of what you are talking about with Slayer is discoverd after LoC - 30/12/2009 02:36:18 PM 804 Views
Re: Well... - 29/12/2009 06:41:29 PM 718 Views
It becomes clear... - 29/12/2009 06:59:03 PM 653 Views
Basically, you think Slayer killed him. I do not. Nor do I care. - 29/12/2009 07:04:20 PM 632 Views
Fair enough. *NM* - 29/12/2009 07:17:22 PM 432 Views

It's rather the TP, which makes Slayer inhuman... - 28/12/2009 08:21:20 PM 694 Views
makes you wonder - 28/12/2009 09:45:08 PM 748 Views

Fain's Myrddraal killed asmo LOL *NM* - 29/12/2009 05:26:22 AM 436 Views
It is quite obvious that it was Mistress Laras. *NM* - 29/12/2009 03:35:36 PM 399 Views
Intuitively, even. *NM* - 29/12/2009 06:03:13 PM 394 Views
