Where is precognition involved in Graendal wanting Rand to be lured to her base if that was her plan? Where is precognition necessary if she had prepared defensive weaves around her palace to detect the presence of male or female channelers and/or enemy forces?

What you call precognition is nothing more than plotting and seeing how those plots develop.

Graendal's death would imply a major logical flaw in the story. fionwe1987 - 25/01/2010 05:18:23 PM 2854 Views
