Re: I think that is total BS, since the books have proved otherwise more than once... randfandom Send a noteboard - 15/06/2010 08:17:47 PM
Lanfear alone was able to shield Rand, except that he sliced her weaves. There's no way 3xSemirhage=Lanfear.

Its closer to Semirhage almost=Lanfear. Thus, Semi alone should have a decent chance of Shielding Rand, and linked to a weak Aes Sedai, she definitely will be able to.


No, Lanfear was not able to shield Rand when he was holding Saidin. She succeeded once when he was not holding Saidin, but that was when he was still working on learning the basics (before Asmodean) and weaker besides.

After tGS I doubt that even three as strong as Semirhage could shield him or hold a shield on him,

No three women could block him from the Source... Logain - 15/06/2010 06:52:17 PM 1952 Views

I think he means that it would take three such women to smother him Sidious - 15/06/2010 07:45:03 PM 1098 Views
Ahhh... I can kind of agree with that... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:05:46 PM 1173 Views
Yes, that is what he meant. Another interesting twist... Logain - 16/06/2010 01:34:18 AM 1139 Views
Agreed. Good analysis. Shannow - 16/06/2010 07:48:36 AM 1117 Views

No, this is before. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:49:13 PM 959 Views
Well that's a different quote from the one you used before, and this one shows Lanfear not succeedin Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:52:00 PM 963 Views
I never used a quote before. And there's no quote where Lanfear's shield is not succeeding. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:52:28 PM 834 Views
Simple answer to settle it: Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:00:22 PM 851 Views
So Talaan is God? fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:04:44 PM 1014 Views
It Rand had half Lews Therin's skill at the time, she would stand no chance..SKILL was her advantage Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:08:41 PM 965 Views
Skill has nothing to do with how strong a person is. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:11:13 PM 939 Views
So? Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:15:01 PM 932 Views
Nope, YOU said he was talking about smothering him, whatever that's supposed to mean... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:26:53 PM 889 Views
Oh My God! That's such utter tripe... EDIT... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:30:29 PM 979 Views
That's exactly how I understood you. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:30:42 PM 832 Views
You do know that this was AFTER Lanfear had picked up the bracelet angreal, right? Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:49:47 PM 939 Views
It was before... both of them start using an angreal after this. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:52:02 PM 859 Views
Nope. 6 Aes Sedai couldn't take Raolain Darksbane or Yurian Stonebow...Semirhage = 3 Aes Sedai Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:26:21 PM 898 Views
Lanfear can do it alone Sidious - 15/06/2010 08:45:09 PM 903 Views
She ATTEMPTS to cut him off, when he is not at full strength or full training yet... Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:55:39 PM 874 Views
Plus, Rand was splitting his flows, IIRC. Meaning he wasn't 100% one-on-one with her. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 08:57:35 PM 893 Views
She was splitting her flows too... she was slicing his weaves of Air. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:59:00 PM 927 Views
Bah! fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:58:26 PM 895 Views
I repeat: You cannot shield someone unless you are significantly stronger than they are... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:02:55 PM 845 Views
Explain Talaan shielding Nynaeve then. Or the two BA shielding her. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:05:21 PM 1833 Views
It becomes a battle of skill then... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:09:42 PM 1014 Views
BUT... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:12:47 PM 936 Views
Then by your own definition you do not have to be significantly stronger to shield someone darius_sedai - 15/06/2010 11:28:44 PM 898 Views
Re: "he would have had no need to cut her weaves" Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:03:39 PM 857 Views
No. There's a difference. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:07:09 PM 1036 Views
Oh come on... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:48:56 PM 1065 Views
I know you are not that ignorant... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:07:02 PM 840 Views
But that isn't true... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:10:37 PM 884 Views
Let me spell it out for you... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:18:04 PM 889 Views
Re: Let me spell it out for you... Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:21:02 PM 872 Views
Don't put words in my, or Lews Therin's, mouth... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:33:50 PM 1030 Views
??? darius_sedai - 15/06/2010 10:43:28 PM 1031 Views
+1. It ridiculous comparison. Rand even didn't know how to shield a woman. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:22:22 PM 924 Views
Now that's a ridiculous comparison Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:24:45 PM 1012 Views
Exactly! fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:28:20 PM 1026 Views
Touchy point, heh? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:28:47 PM 964 Views
Then how come Lanfear never died? We know she made attempts to capture him. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:31:20 PM 932 Views
Whom? LTT? Can you elaborate? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:33:25 PM 990 Views

I cannot believe you're so obtuse... or then again, I can. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:26:04 PM 990 Views
About how strong you have to be to shield someone... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:14:31 PM 714 Views

I'd like to think Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha could RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/06/2010 04:19:22 PM 823 Views
Agreed darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:59:39 PM 728 Views
I don't think there's any theme Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:25:52 PM 1020 Views
I don't think they are meant to controll him in someway darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:21:09 PM 888 Views
They have a separate trinity. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/06/2010 06:51:27 PM 910 Views
They might be able to, but then they are not 3 women of <b>average AS</b> strength Logain - 17/06/2010 07:10:14 PM 867 Views
They would be far more than 3 average AS darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:07:30 PM 881 Views
No, that's not right either. Lews Therin Telamon - 18/06/2010 12:37:37 AM 931 Views
