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 662 Views
Glad it's been brought up before - 13/02/2010 04:57:11 PM 602 Views
Assuming it's not her hideout . . . - 13/02/2010 05:47:22 PM 627 Views
I don't see problems - 13/02/2010 06:03:41 PM 660 Views
Also, Rand had to do some heavy research with the head librarian - 13/02/2010 07:15:27 PM 610 Views
no, Rand just sent a few scouts - 13/02/2010 11:56:33 PM 538 Views
"Well known" and "largely forgotten" are about as opposite as you can get! - 13/02/2010 11:44:39 PM 617 Views
I don't think so. - 14/02/2010 04:28:04 PM 573 Views
so now she's been there for the last 50 years? - 14/02/2010 05:41:43 PM 475 Views

you mean the scouts he sent? - 14/02/2010 06:52:59 PM 551 Views
He used scouts to find the place? - 14/02/2010 07:07:16 PM 505 Views
probably, but that doesn't make a difference. - 14/02/2010 08:33:35 PM 512 Views

I agree - those are basically antonyms - 16/02/2010 06:35:31 PM 533 Views
Like rotary phones, Milli Vanilli and the Macarena? - 23/02/2010 12:22:47 AM 462 Views
More... - 13/02/2010 07:37:45 PM 582 Views
Or it could be due to two different authors writing the story and nothing else. *NM* - 14/02/2010 12:22:27 AM 251 Views
seems like pretty big differences - 14/02/2010 12:26:42 AM 501 Views
Not really. - 15/02/2010 03:29:39 AM 481 Views
it's Maria's job to find these things - 15/02/2010 04:43:33 AM 503 Views
Seems absolutely obvious to me - she was tricking Sammael. - 14/02/2010 03:45:23 AM 680 Views
Re: Seems absolutely obvious to me - she was tricking Sammael. - 14/02/2010 01:08:38 PM 595 Views
Fine, then what if she changed location after Sammael was compromised? - 14/02/2010 04:46:52 PM 554 Views
Any number of things are possible - 14/02/2010 05:45:35 PM 494 Views
You don't get it. - 14/02/2010 06:10:33 PM 483 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 583 Views
There aren't, really. - 14/02/2010 09:56:53 PM 469 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 570 Views
Two possibilities how Kerb knew the name - 15/02/2010 09:04:14 AM 567 Views
There are infinite possibilities - 15/02/2010 12:48:23 PM 580 Views

Kerb wasn't planted by anyone. - 15/02/2010 06:41:18 PM 524 Views
She's dead, people need to move on. *NM* - 14/02/2010 07:34:31 AM 268 Views
I acknowledge that it's possible (even likely) that she is dead - 14/02/2010 01:09:53 PM 509 Views
Graendal is Toast with a capital T. Not possibly dead, not likely dead, 100% gone. - 14/02/2010 04:48:09 PM 515 Views
This from you? HA! - 14/02/2010 05:44:16 PM 513 Views
Look, - 14/02/2010 06:02:32 PM 578 Views
seriously I think you are mistaking me for another poster - 14/02/2010 06:58:47 PM 504 Views
I'm glad... - 15/02/2010 10:07:06 PM 549 Views
Why was Kerb highly likely to be delved? - 16/02/2010 06:42:37 AM 579 Views
