How can you "write a weave down"? NaClH2O Send a noteboard - 21/08/2010 04:54:28 PM
A weave needs to be demonstrated. In the AOL there probably was a specific graphic nomenclature used, probably like electronic schematics today. But obviously that has been long lost, and it would stretch my "suspension of disbelief" bounds past breaking if something like that had survived when literacy itself barely did. Don't foget that there are only minor differences between the weave that opens into T'A'R and the weave for Traveling, but rather different results. And even if "weaving schematics" survived, no one in 3rd Age Wotverse knows how to read them, or even recognise them, except the Forsaken.

All I'm saying, is that Travelling would STILL be a very usefull survival tool during the Breaking.. - 20/08/2010 03:44:59 PM 1135 Views
All good points also. - 20/08/2010 03:48:49 PM 1459 Views

I don't think that creating cuendillar and 'angreals was common knowledge. - 20/08/2010 05:06:20 PM 1005 Views

They could use Rand's trick from TGS. - 21/08/2010 01:06:33 AM 898 Views

The Strongest Died seems like a pretty valid theory to me... - 20/08/2010 06:14:29 PM 1102 Views
Maybe Aes Sedai treated weaves like Intellectual Property - 20/08/2010 09:49:12 PM 900 Views
Trademark? Patent? Or Copyright? =P *NM* - 20/08/2010 10:19:36 PM 419 Views

That's because most of the major people in WoT are powerful channelers. - 21/08/2010 04:13:04 AM 1033 Views

How did Moiraine learn balefire then? *NM* - 21/08/2010 05:04:27 PM 1106 Views
figured it out on her own, don't forget that Nyn used it too against the Fades in TDR. *NM* - 21/08/2010 05:12:15 PM 456 Views
That's a stretch - Moiraine never demonstrated any creative talent with the OP... - 21/08/2010 06:15:01 PM 919 Views
OK, I'll buy Vandene teaching it, but not learning it from a written description *NM* - 21/08/2010 06:35:46 PM 456 Views
I myself can't buy Vandene teaching that weave to any Sister - 24/08/2010 04:06:26 PM 961 Views
Me neither... - 24/08/2010 05:50:24 PM 974 Views
Mispost.. *NM* - 25/08/2010 02:51:02 PM 515 Views
I disagree - Moiraine's wilder tricks show that she is quite creative with the OP - 24/08/2010 03:31:06 PM 936 Views

When did she use that? *NM* - 25/08/2010 09:34:31 AM 436 Views
We know of her trick with stones and light from 'New Spring' IIRC - 25/08/2010 02:40:26 PM 1102 Views
Elayne did use Moiraine's coin trick. - 25/08/2010 06:09:27 PM 1044 Views

one thing i've noticed - 23/08/2010 06:37:48 PM 931 Views
Simple: none were necessary for survival in Stone Age barbarism. - 23/08/2010 09:12:40 PM 904 Views
