So you're writing like a crackhead and ignoring any actual points... newyorkersedai Send a noteboard - 13/05/2010 02:25:26 PM
So Callandor had a flaw. Tough. It's a super-powerful device and it's gonna be wielded by a guy who'll go crazy. The makers had just seen channelers go mad. Making him depend on a woman doesn't sound too dumb.
And if the Horn will work for either side, then the Eye protecting that Horn is actually really damned important. The Green Man doesn't matter - more protection is better. Sensible people might recognize this.
For guys who didn't need it, Agi and 'thamel both really wanted the Eye. 2 Forsaken down, and a Trolloc army routed in a hopeless battle. The Eye sucked, huh? Calling the Dragon out into the World sucks, right? Proclaiming the Dragon to all the World sucks? Creating a protected fortress which houses what will instantly become the Dragon's first army? That sucks?

Please don't type drunk responses to serious conversations.
Or start your own thread about totally off-topic things; that way, we can make fun of you for it there =)

Callandor is an awesome sa'angreal, with a FLAW. sheesh. It had a pretty sweet Reincarnation Shield, but ToM or MoL had BETTER give us a reason why Callandor is so awesome. I'm still annoyed Rand crushed the Chodean Kal.


And the Eye of the World was really, really lame. It was a pool of untainted saidin- that's IT. It got used up in one battle, too (albeit the battle was Rand doing his annoying-mystical thing from the first three books and saving the day at Tarwin's Gap).

So, if Aginor had taken control of the Eye... so what? He was ALREADY an insanely powerful (by early series standards) channeler, who doesn't give a damn about the taint. Yes, it's a large amount of Power, but it's finite- he'd be equally as dangerous if he'd just found an angreal or something.

Really, the Eye was only important because it helped Rand win the battle for the Eye. If the Eye didn't exist, there wouldn't be a need for it.


(and guarding the Horn doesn't count- Callandor's shield and the Green Man's protected area show us that there were plenty of other effective ways to guard and hide things.)



Anyway. Yeah. Screw both of them.

Rand's two sides together - is the TGS scene the key to victory? As a man who uses a -sedai handle - 13/05/2010 06:06:14 AM 1235 Views
Completely ignoring your point- Callandor and the Eye both kinda sucked - 13/05/2010 07:53:25 AM 665 Views

How do you know that Callandor is flawed? - 13/05/2010 06:11:53 PM 526 Views
