I wonder, though Etzel Send a noteboard - 23/01/2010 09:18:22 AM
... he just didn't want to "stand out" (as he himself says). So, he just swapped his coat and hunched a little, rather than channel a disguise. He probably viewed that as the lesser of two evils, considering how sick he gets when he channels. Yes, he intended to channel (a lot!) when he got there, but saving himself one bout of sickness at the cost of a coat and a little hunching was probably worth it to him.

Whereas, in the WH situation you quoted, he most definitely didn't want people recognizing him (he was going someplace where he knew they would), so he channeled a disguise in that case (and suffered the bout of sickness that went with it).

Both scenarios seem reasonable to me.


If the Seanchan patrol will report that they saw a very tall red-haired, one-handed channeler vomitting in the midst of Ebou Dar, and if Tuon will put two and two togther & consider that Rand is completely mad now. It should appear as a very weird incident to the Seanchan.

We've seen a few scenes were he actively avoids channelling Lord Haart - 26/01/2010 08:49:35 PM 456 Views
He couldn't be holding the Power already... Gher - 22/01/2010 05:14:54 PM 593 Views
There is no fear to channel in his thoughts, though. *NM* Etzel - 22/01/2010 05:27:31 PM 203 Views
That doesn't mean he wasn't subconciously afraid to do it. Gher - 22/01/2010 05:54:43 PM 477 Views
I'm going with Channeling sickness ... look what happens later when he tries to BF the place! darius_sedai - 22/01/2010 06:18:08 PM 487 Views
Rand didn't expect such a strong reaction, though. *NM* Etzel - 22/01/2010 06:58:41 PM 209 Views
But it's obviously getting worse all the time darius_sedai - 22/01/2010 07:13:12 PM 483 Views

Yes, I think that's quite likely. *NM* Etzel - 22/01/2010 07:41:32 PM 192 Views
I don't think he was concerned about people recognizing him ... Shishka - 22/01/2010 08:19:00 PM 562 Views
