I disagree. Gher Send a noteboard - 03/02/2010 05:31:39 AM
I believe Brandon Sanderson has said that he would introduce no new weaves in the series. We have never seen someone do a compulsion weave that dissipates when someone else delves the person. So if it is true about what Brandon said, then the idea that Graendal did this new weave to trick/fool Rand is impossible.

Someone will need to check the quote from Brandon to make sure, but I believe he said "no new weaves."



I'm definitely not one of the "Graendal's Alive!" camp, but a Compulsion that dissipates upon Delving isn't really a new weave. We've seen Compulsion, and we've seen Wards that a triggered by any number of things, combining the mechanics isn't all that groundbreaking.

Not to mention, if this is considered a new weave, it could be one Jordan left notes on. Brandon wouldn't make up his own weaves, that doesn't mean we won't see some cool new weaves Jordan had planned.

So your name is Graendal.... Jeordam - 01/02/2010 09:18:00 PM 1922 Views
one of the reasons I'm at a loss with her death ... along with the lead-up being clumsy *NM* darius_sedai - 01/02/2010 09:36:29 PM 817 Views
She very well... Jeordam - 01/02/2010 11:13:50 PM 1218 Views

Ha! "Graendal actually kills Asmodean". A very bold claim. *NM* Etzel - 02/02/2010 10:51:40 AM 718 Views
Bold like saying that water is wet.... Jeordam - 02/02/2010 05:46:54 PM 835 Views
I am now split with a 80% belief it's Graendal and 20% that it's Moghedien *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/02/2010 06:11:47 PM 488 Views
Moghedien.... Jeordam - 02/02/2010 06:15:41 PM 973 Views

Egwene was faintly forkrooted, not heavily. Fanatic-Templar - 02/02/2010 10:24:55 PM 889 Views
It was heavy enough to nullify her ability almost completely by TGS RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/02/2010 10:38:04 PM 855 Views

Yes, I agree. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/02/2010 03:26:13 PM 640 Views
As bad as Sammael's death. *NM* Kieran - 03/02/2010 02:00:02 AM 503 Views
The lead up was clumsy because her death scene was rather forced. Libby - 09/02/2010 11:11:21 PM 1059 Views
Yes, pretty much. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/02/2010 11:21:31 PM 960 Views
Couple of flaws in that reasoning Lord Haart - 02/02/2010 07:56:35 AM 1255 Views

But how many previously unseen weaves have had such huge implications? Lord Haart - 03/02/2010 01:29:15 PM 1102 Views
Two things come to mind... Jeordam - 03/02/2010 03:50:38 PM 1010 Views
I don't really think this is relevant Sareitha Sedai - 03/02/2010 05:03:51 PM 932 Views
There's a difference.... Jeordam - 03/02/2010 06:01:30 PM 997 Views
