but also can work it so subtle that no one would notice.

Do you have any quotes or examples that point to her Compulsion being undetectable via Delving?

My impression was that by "subtle", it was meant that the behaviours of her victims are still highly functional and seem perfectly normal. Ramshalan fits this: despite the complex weaves place upon him, he still retained full cognitive abilities, and appeared to be perfectly normal until he was Delved. Compare this to Kerb, or to Graendal's 'pets'.

I must add here that Nynaeve is one of the greatest Healers, so chances are that even if Delving wasn't a surefire way to detect Compulsion, she would be pretty good at it. So good, in fact, that the only way to avoid detection would be to not use Compulsion at all. Even if the Compulsion was very minor and not readily apparent, Rand would have had Nynaeve search incredibly thoroughly for it. So trying to avoid Delving with a subtle weave was pointless anyway. This means that Graendal would either have instantly run, or would have done what she presumably did: use a Compulsion which would be difficult to detect based upon behaviour, and see if she could use Ramshalan to kill Min or something like that.

I brought all this up before.. - 13/02/2010 04:52:39 PM 868 Views
Glad it's been brought up before - 13/02/2010 04:57:11 PM 803 Views
Assuming it's not her hideout . . . - 13/02/2010 05:47:22 PM 838 Views
I don't see problems - 13/02/2010 06:03:41 PM 874 Views
Also, Rand had to do some heavy research with the head librarian - 13/02/2010 07:15:27 PM 824 Views
no, Rand just sent a few scouts - 13/02/2010 11:56:33 PM 731 Views
"Well known" and "largely forgotten" are about as opposite as you can get! - 13/02/2010 11:44:39 PM 829 Views
I don't think so. - 14/02/2010 04:28:04 PM 794 Views
so now she's been there for the last 50 years? - 14/02/2010 05:41:43 PM 687 Views

you mean the scouts he sent? - 14/02/2010 06:52:59 PM 749 Views
He used scouts to find the place? - 14/02/2010 07:07:16 PM 704 Views
probably, but that doesn't make a difference. - 14/02/2010 08:33:35 PM 733 Views

I agree - those are basically antonyms - 16/02/2010 06:35:31 PM 739 Views
Like rotary phones, Milli Vanilli and the Macarena? - 23/02/2010 12:22:47 AM 662 Views
More... - 13/02/2010 07:37:45 PM 779 Views
Or it could be due to two different authors writing the story and nothing else. *NM* - 14/02/2010 12:22:27 AM 340 Views
seems like pretty big differences - 14/02/2010 12:26:42 AM 710 Views
Not really. - 15/02/2010 03:29:39 AM 693 Views
it's Maria's job to find these things - 15/02/2010 04:43:33 AM 713 Views
Seems absolutely obvious to me - she was tricking Sammael. - 14/02/2010 03:45:23 AM 885 Views
Re: Seems absolutely obvious to me - she was tricking Sammael. - 14/02/2010 01:08:38 PM 802 Views
Fine, then what if she changed location after Sammael was compromised? - 14/02/2010 04:46:52 PM 772 Views
Any number of things are possible - 14/02/2010 05:45:35 PM 713 Views
You don't get it. - 14/02/2010 06:10:33 PM 723 Views
Go re-read it... I said there are discrepancies between what Sammael said and what Rand said - 14/02/2010 06:54:43 PM 823 Views
There aren't, really. - 14/02/2010 09:56:53 PM 672 Views
so you think a kid who has likely never even seen a map knows the name of a castle - 14/02/2010 10:09:55 PM 784 Views
Two possibilities how Kerb knew the name - 15/02/2010 09:04:14 AM 778 Views
There are infinite possibilities - 15/02/2010 12:48:23 PM 784 Views

Kerb wasn't planted by anyone. - 15/02/2010 06:41:18 PM 746 Views
She's dead, people need to move on. *NM* - 14/02/2010 07:34:31 AM 384 Views
I acknowledge that it's possible (even likely) that she is dead - 14/02/2010 01:09:53 PM 743 Views
Graendal is Toast with a capital T. Not possibly dead, not likely dead, 100% gone. - 14/02/2010 04:48:09 PM 735 Views
This from you? HA! - 14/02/2010 05:44:16 PM 746 Views
Look, - 14/02/2010 06:02:32 PM 822 Views
seriously I think you are mistaking me for another poster - 14/02/2010 06:58:47 PM 716 Views
I'm glad... - 15/02/2010 10:07:06 PM 761 Views
Why was Kerb highly likely to be delved? - 16/02/2010 06:42:37 AM 817 Views
