That's the point. darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 27/05/2010 06:57:35 PM
But I've never seen it affect non-channeling capabilities of channelers.

The only thing it seems to inhibit are behaviors or intentions that would enable them to remove the a'dam or escape, and act as a direct impediment to the ability to channel due to it being an involuntary Link.

Thus, if you didn't know what the collar did, you could reach up and feel it but until you try to remove it you wouldn't start suffering the negative physical reactions.

It acts like a binder in that way - some Aes Sedai can't even bring themselves to think of lying or using the One Power as a weapon, while others interpret it to be an inhibitor on action and not thought.

Rand, for example, could access the True Power to destroy the a'dam around his neck, because it seems the only thing the a'dam affects is your access to saidin or saidar, not other capabilities. He could even form weaves that would directly harm the a'dam...once again, because all the a'dam seems to affect is your bodily control and your access to saidin or saidar. Slightly flawed example, but it does show that the specialized construction of the a'dam and sad bracelets can only limit channelers from using saidin or saidar.


Moghedien would not be able to enter TAR because she would think of it as a way to escape, or perhaps to harm Nyn/Elaine/Egwene.

Egwene went on dully, as if the other woman had not spoken. "They are training me, Min. The sul'dam and the a'dam are training me. I cannot touch anything I even think of as a weapon. A few weeks ago I considered hitting Renna over the head with that pitcher, and I could not pour wash water for three days. Once I'd thought of it that way, I not only had to stop thinking about hitting her with it, I had to convince myself I would never, under any circumstances, hit her with it before I could touch it again.

I'm inclined to think the a'dam stops Dream Walking - 26/05/2010 09:26:20 PM 551 Views

And it seems the woman wearing the bracelet has strange dreams too - 26/05/2010 10:54:26 PM 633 Views
Re: I'm inclined to think the a'dam stops Dream Walking - 27/05/2010 06:46:42 PM 538 Views
I think it would be the latter - 27/05/2010 07:11:17 PM 642 Views
I have a few mundane my reasons as to why Moghedien probably wouldn't and couldn't do that. - 26/05/2010 11:39:14 PM 549 Views
I disagree - 27/05/2010 03:21:05 PM 555 Views

If she could enter TAR she could drag an AS in with her, compell them and make them take it off - 27/05/2010 07:14:26 PM 651 Views

I think we are saying pretty much the same thing here - 27/05/2010 09:24:37 PM 584 Views
We are close to the same idea, but different in where we think her ability will stop. - 27/05/2010 09:37:28 PM 572 Views
*nods* *NM* - 27/05/2010 11:29:10 PM 261 Views
But channelling is not a requirement to enter TAR - 27/05/2010 08:31:21 AM 514 Views
The a'dam affects things in Channelers other than the ability itself - 27/05/2010 01:58:34 PM 697 Views
I don't agree. - 27/05/2010 03:02:08 PM 577 Views

We may never know! - 27/05/2010 09:21:48 PM 600 Views
I would be very surprised if it came up in the books - 27/05/2010 09:25:29 PM 561 Views
Interesting idea. - 26/05/2010 09:38:04 PM 525 Views

Doesn't work - 26/05/2010 08:37:40 PM 782 Views
we've seen this fail - 26/05/2010 08:38:06 PM 536 Views
I don't mean that - 26/05/2010 08:39:32 PM 521 Views
I'd say you either die or just wake up if you tried that - 26/05/2010 08:40:31 PM 530 Views
As far as I know... - 26/05/2010 08:38:36 PM 561 Views
This could work - 26/05/2010 08:43:21 PM 747 Views

Re: Thanks - 26/05/2010 09:12:10 PM 534 Views
So I think this disproves it - 26/05/2010 08:49:55 PM 812 Views
Is that really true? - 26/05/2010 08:53:45 PM 600 Views
Sid, I made some edits, but really nothing's certain. Look again, pls. *NM* - 26/05/2010 08:55:30 PM 289 Views
I would generally agree with your edits - 26/05/2010 08:57:32 PM 555 Views
yes and no - 26/05/2010 09:31:53 PM 474 Views

well Moghedien somehow managed to create a whole Body for Birgitte - 26/05/2010 10:36:45 PM 564 Views
Could Rahvin turn Rand into a fishman if he was just there in Spirit? - 26/05/2010 10:19:05 PM 533 Views
And I agree with your response - 26/05/2010 09:49:00 PM 534 Views

I think the problem is that you can only channel Spirit through your T'A'R form - 27/05/2010 03:05:13 PM 508 Views
if you dream yourself into T'A'R then you're just a creation of your own mind - 27/05/2010 12:02:38 AM 506 Views
aren't we all? *NM* - 27/05/2010 12:04:08 AM 239 Views
if that was true you couldn't die in T'A'R - 27/05/2010 12:08:10 AM 491 Views
Why not? - 27/05/2010 03:41:10 PM 631 Views
if it's just a creation of your mind? - 27/05/2010 04:03:29 PM 569 Views
is it possible to Travel in T'A'R when dreaming? - 27/05/2010 12:06:57 AM 525 Views
I don't think anybody has said this before... - 27/05/2010 04:01:28 AM 604 Views
Your real body can only channel Spirit. - 27/05/2010 05:25:08 AM 607 Views
Yes, but you need real One Power to affect the real world. - 27/05/2010 06:46:21 AM 596 Views
The only real situation we have to compare... - 27/05/2010 06:59:51 AM 503 Views
That's a weird situation. - 27/05/2010 07:09:21 AM 560 Views
