But how many previously unseen weaves have had such huge implications? Lord Haart Send a noteboard - 03/02/2010 01:29:15 PM
Balefire is the only one I can think of, and that was first used without any reference to turning back time IIRC.

And like I said before, what's the point of such a weave? The real aim should be that as soon as a delving weave hits the Compulsion it disappears BEFORE IT CAN BE DETECTED. Graendal had NO way to know that Nynaeve wouldn't simply delve Ramshalan 2 or 3 times before Rand BF'ed the palace, thereby ruining the whole scheme. The fact that Nynaeve took some seconds to delve Ramshalan shows us that the weave was stuck in there good. She would have seen it disappear otherwise.

For that matter, we haven't yet seen a weave that can unmake other weaves. This would change the series completely since there are so many applications for such a weave, but we've never seen it. Removing weaves happens in two ways only; they dissolve with time (Graendal's Compulsion was heavy enough that we can ignore this, otherwise how was she to know that Rand might not have been a few hours further away, or closer?), or they can be unknitted: to date, only Aviendha has done this, and the result was what was effectively a Nuclear explosion that lead the Seanchan to think that the AS had a secret weapon (and if they could connect the dots, the AS would realise that this is true).

Even if all of the above were possible, there are still plenty of other reasons that Graendal is dead.

So your name is Graendal.... - 01/02/2010 09:18:00 PM 1836 Views
one of the reasons I'm at a loss with her death ... along with the lead-up being clumsy *NM* - 01/02/2010 09:36:29 PM 786 Views
She very well... - 01/02/2010 11:13:50 PM 1136 Views

Ha! "Graendal actually kills Asmodean". A very bold claim. *NM* - 02/02/2010 10:51:40 AM 682 Views
Bold like saying that water is wet.... - 02/02/2010 05:46:54 PM 766 Views
I am now split with a 80% belief it's Graendal and 20% that it's Moghedien *NM* - 02/02/2010 06:11:47 PM 465 Views
Moghedien.... - 02/02/2010 06:15:41 PM 879 Views

Egwene was faintly forkrooted, not heavily. - 02/02/2010 10:24:55 PM 818 Views
It was heavy enough to nullify her ability almost completely by TGS - 02/02/2010 10:38:04 PM 766 Views
That's still extremely faint. - 02/02/2010 11:07:10 PM 814 Views

Well, I completely disagree, but that's another discussion. *NM* - 02/02/2010 07:07:05 PM 435 Views
Yes, I agree. *NM* - 02/02/2010 03:26:13 PM 607 Views
As bad as Sammael's death. *NM* - 03/02/2010 02:00:02 AM 470 Views

Graendal already has a massive inverted ward around the palace. - 02/02/2010 03:23:44 PM 938 Views
