The OP can interact with souls... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 02/03/2019 03:57:36 PM

That is how Moghedien pushed Birgette from TAR into the real world, remember?

And interaction with souls is how, in the Age of Legends, the Aes Sedai could take souls from the "soul pool" to put them into Chora trees, the Nym, and other constructs.

And these are pure OP effects. Mix in the TP, and you get stuff like souls transferring between bodies, being forced into Trollocs and Myrdraal, getting turned totally towards the Dark Ones goals, and so on.

On the pure TP side, you have things like the cour'sourva, immediate reincarnation with memories intact, etc.

All that said, it also makes complete sense the One Power can interact with souls. It is the power that drives all of creation. And souls are very clearly part of that. So why would they be insulated from the very force that drives them?

I wonder if Grey Men were a "first step" for making gholam. *NM* TyrReborn - 27/02/2019 06:09:21 AM 506 Views
More like a bastardized, uncultured version of an Age of Legends marvel. Hieshyn - 27/02/2019 06:28:06 AM 634 Views
If there is any connection between them & Shadowspawn, it is as the inspiration for Shaidar Haran Cannoli - 27/02/2019 01:57:50 PM 506 Views
On the OP and souls. Dunstan - 01/03/2019 07:05:06 AM 500 Views
IMO, that stuff all affects physical or metaphysical aspects, but not the soul itself. Cannoli - 01/03/2019 01:31:20 PM 462 Views

Ok, that's a fair distinction. TyrReborn - 03/03/2019 03:45:13 AM 444 Views

No it can't, or RJ is misusing the term "soul." Cannoli - 02/03/2019 09:13:34 PM 598 Views
The Christian concept of soul, maybe. But RJ was clearly not sourcing his ideas from there... fionwe1987 - 03/03/2019 06:45:13 PM 498 Views

Oh, and... Cannoli - 03/03/2019 08:30:06 PM 466 Views
Doesn't true death in TAR preclude rebirth? Ghavrel - 03/03/2019 06:58:29 PM 455 Views
That's Hopper's opinion, regarding wolves. Cannoli - 03/03/2019 07:16:27 PM 449 Views
I assume that the gholam, like the Nym, were living ter'angraels. So, no to your question. *NM* damookster - 28/02/2019 06:31:55 PM 238 Views
