Well, it's too far beyond the limits of my imagination, sadly.



Well yes, like I said, I can understand Nynaeve's sixth test causing such a reaction, but four of the other five were about abandoning people you haven't really abandoned, because it was all imaginary. I don't get how you could feel sad about that, unless it's the guilt of knowing that you would have abandoned them if a voice in your head told you 'The way back will come only once, be steadfast'... but again, that ties in to my assertion that the test favours people willing to abandon their responsibilities on a whim.

And the fifth one is Nynaeve's first test...



Except, if she knows it isn't real, there's nothing to finish off, and she won't get the opportunity to come back. There's really nothing in this test that would compel someone who knows it's fake to stay. Now, if you think it's real, you might want to stay, finish him off before he gets a chance to recuperate and come back after you... but if you know it's fake?
