I agree, the cleansing was way too understated and I was unsure of exactly what had happened until I stumbled over WOTmania a couple of years back.

How were all these amazing weaves 'lost' ? malekithe - 20/08/2010 04:33:43 AM 1624 Views
Ishamael may have had a hand in that... Froggles - 20/08/2010 04:45:39 AM 997 Views
Agreed. Lord Haart - 20/08/2010 10:01:37 AM 898 Views
You're right. It is merely a plot requirement, made ludicrous by the ease of mastering these weaves Shannow - 20/08/2010 10:08:10 AM 999 Views

These are good points. To some extent, it may be because our main characters are "gifted" channelers newyorkersedai - 20/08/2010 08:57:49 PM 758 Views
The bigger problem is minor characters copying the weaves so quickly... Shannow - 20/08/2010 09:14:25 PM 814 Views

All I'm saying, is that Travelling would STILL be a very usefull survival tool during the Breaking.. Shannow - 20/08/2010 03:44:59 PM 919 Views
All good points also. Ashaman_Luc - 20/08/2010 03:48:49 PM 1261 Views

you may have hit onto something with your last statement darius_sedai - 21/08/2010 05:06:59 PM 773 Views

If you go back and read the descriptions of the breaking, and think about the 3000 year cycle newyorkersedai - 20/08/2010 04:37:02 PM 837 Views
I don't think that creating cuendillar and 'angreals was common knowledge. Gher - 20/08/2010 05:06:20 PM 784 Views

They could use Rand's trick from TGS. Gher - 21/08/2010 01:06:33 AM 690 Views
You & Ryan make good points, esp on balefire/compulsion. In a shorter series, it'd make more sense newyorkersedai - 20/08/2010 08:52:59 PM 798 Views
My only theory... Nameless Ashaman - 20/08/2010 06:02:14 PM 730 Views
The Strongest Died seems like a pretty valid theory to me... lodlom - 20/08/2010 06:14:29 PM 889 Views
Maybe Aes Sedai treated weaves like Intellectual Property Helene - 20/08/2010 09:49:12 PM 716 Views
Trademark? Patent? Or Copyright? =P *NM* newyorkersedai - 20/08/2010 10:19:36 PM 326 Views
If they are secretive and protective, it's not a huge stretch that knowledge would be taken into the Helene - 21/08/2010 10:27:15 AM 829 Views
It doesn't have to be logical... scooter - 20/08/2010 11:50:17 PM 857 Views
Idea? Great Lord of Chaos - 21/08/2010 12:47:52 AM 647 Views
But they weren't too weak malekithe - 21/08/2010 02:48:43 AM 723 Views
That's because most of the major people in WoT are powerful channelers. Great Lord of Chaos - 21/08/2010 04:13:04 AM 721 Views
How can you "write a weave down"? NaClH2O - 21/08/2010 04:54:28 PM 768 Views
How did Moiraine learn balefire then? *NM* Sidious - 21/08/2010 05:04:27 PM 1008 Views
figured it out on her own, don't forget that Nyn used it too against the Fades in TDR. *NM* NaClH2O - 21/08/2010 05:12:15 PM 360 Views
That's a stretch - Moiraine never demonstrated any creative talent with the OP... DomA - 21/08/2010 06:15:01 PM 708 Views
OK, I'll buy Vandene teaching it, but not learning it from a written description *NM* NaClH2O - 21/08/2010 06:35:46 PM 364 Views
I myself can't buy Vandene teaching that weave to any Sister RugbyPlayingAshaman - 24/08/2010 04:06:26 PM 740 Views
Me neither... DomA - 24/08/2010 05:50:24 PM 782 Views
Mispost.. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 25/08/2010 02:51:02 PM 425 Views
I disagree - Moiraine's wilder tricks show that she is quite creative with the OP RugbyPlayingAshaman - 24/08/2010 03:31:06 PM 731 Views

But... fionwe1987 - 24/08/2010 06:40:39 PM 698 Views
When did she use that? *NM* Lord Haart - 25/08/2010 09:34:31 AM 345 Views
We know of her trick with stones and light from 'New Spring' IIRC RugbyPlayingAshaman - 25/08/2010 02:40:26 PM 863 Views
Elayne did use Moiraine's coin trick. Gher - 25/08/2010 06:09:27 PM 826 Views
Likely from Vandene DomA - 21/08/2010 05:58:31 PM 1066 Views
