And heavy Compulsion of the variety Graendal uses is said to be much more damaging.



True, but we don't know what Graendal (or others for that matter) is capable of here ... in all likelihood Ituralde has been under a very subtle Compulsion for months without any real damage to him.


Because the Compulsion, if it exists, hasn't been removed ;)


Yes, but the point is that it's clearly very subtle as there have been no changes to his base personality. Much like Rhamshalan was under a very subtle Compulsion when he came back to Rand.


My sole contention regards what happens when the Compulsion is lifted (and why I believe Rhamshalan's Compulsion was not lifted but rather removed before it existed). We've seen that even very mild Compulsion has some effect on the mind when it is removed.

However, I don't know if that's really a fair statement you're making. We don't really know if there's changes to Ituralde's personality or not (since we don't meet him until after this Compulsion, if it exists, would have been set), and similarly don't have enough evidence of Rhamshalan at all either before or after the Compulsion was set to know if there are any personality changes.


But you are correct, he could be acting totally differently for all we really know... but we have seen both Cyndane and Moghedien released from Graendal's grip with absolutely no effect to them.


Wow, I'm not remembering their being Compulsed by her at all. I'm slooooooooooooooowly working my way through a reread though (just started PoD recently) so I will look out for this. I wonder if that's a mindtrap issue...
If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

So your name is Graendal.... - 01/02/2010 09:18:00 PM 2000 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 869 Views
She very well... - 01/02/2010 11:13:50 PM 1332 Views

Ha! "Graendal actually kills Asmodean". A very bold claim. *NM* - 02/02/2010 10:51:40 AM 768 Views
Bold like saying that water is wet.... - 02/02/2010 05:46:54 PM 908 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 545 Views
Moghedien.... - 02/02/2010 06:15:41 PM 1063 Views

Egwene was faintly forkrooted, not heavily. - 02/02/2010 10:24:55 PM 976 Views
It was heavy enough to nullify her ability almost completely by TGS - 02/02/2010 10:38:04 PM 945 Views
That's still extremely faint. - 02/02/2010 11:07:10 PM 956 Views

Yes, I agree. *NM* - 02/02/2010 03:26:13 PM 692 Views
As bad as Sammael's death. *NM* - 03/02/2010 02:00:02 AM 550 Views
The lead up was clumsy because her death scene was rather forced. - 09/02/2010 11:11:21 PM 1150 Views
Yes, pretty much. - 01/02/2010 11:21:31 PM 1050 Views
