Re: Non-channelers cannot use oath rod jiggy Send a noteboard - 24/03/2010 03:26:43 PM
Only channelers could be bound with an oath rod. There were other ter'angreal that could bind non-channelers.

Oh really? Did I remember incorrectly that criminals were bound with the oath rod? Or was it only criminals who could wield the OP and a different ter'angreal for those who could not?

It seems strange to have two ter'angreal for one job...

EDIT: I was just chatting to Dodge about this and he provided this source:

According to the WoT FAQ:

In the AOL, there were multiple "Oath Rods." They were apparently fairly common devices used to discipline criminals who could channel. The Forsaken refer to them as a type of "binder"; according to Sammael [ACOS: 40, Spears, 631], Oath Rods only work on channelers, and the one he gives to Sevanna only works on female channelers. There are other types of binding devices, such as "binding chairs" that work on anybody.

Interesting! I guess that answers my question! Thanks Asha'man Warder! :)

I disagree. The Oaths are among the least irritating of the many irritating things about Aes Sedai. - 27/03/2010 09:56:34 PM 506 Views
