I disagree - Moiraine's wilder tricks show that she is quite creative with the OP RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 24/08/2010 03:31:06 PM
We know for example that she started experimenting with the One Power once she found out she could channel - she generated a trick involving light sources and stones. Further there were variations of weaves in which she used a staff or branch as a focus such as whips of fire and using a branch as a fireball-shooting wand.

I'm not going so far to say that she is on the same level as Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve, but I do think that unlike many Sisters, by the time she was Raised, she was known as barely above a Wilder for a reason, and I think it is because she had personal tricks that lay outside of what the White Tower taught.

I don't think that creating cuendillar and 'angreals was common knowledge. - 20/08/2010 05:06:20 PM 862 Views

They could use Rand's trick from TGS. - 21/08/2010 01:06:33 AM 760 Views
My only theory... - 20/08/2010 06:02:14 PM 809 Views
The Strongest Died seems like a pretty valid theory to me... - 20/08/2010 06:14:29 PM 967 Views
Maybe Aes Sedai treated weaves like Intellectual Property - 20/08/2010 09:49:12 PM 786 Views
Trademark? Patent? Or Copyright? =P *NM* - 20/08/2010 10:19:36 PM 351 Views

That's because most of the major people in WoT are powerful channelers. - 21/08/2010 04:13:04 AM 799 Views
How can you "write a weave down"? - 21/08/2010 04:54:28 PM 848 Views
How did Moiraine learn balefire then? *NM* - 21/08/2010 05:04:27 PM 1036 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 389 Views
That's a stretch - Moiraine never demonstrated any creative talent with the OP... - 21/08/2010 06:15:01 PM 803 Views
OK, I'll buy Vandene teaching it, but not learning it from a written description *NM* - 21/08/2010 06:35:46 PM 396 Views
I myself can't buy Vandene teaching that weave to any Sister - 24/08/2010 04:06:26 PM 814 Views
Me neither... - 24/08/2010 05:50:24 PM 861 Views

When did she use that? *NM* - 25/08/2010 09:34:31 AM 369 Views
We know of her trick with stones and light from 'New Spring' IIRC - 25/08/2010 02:40:26 PM 947 Views
Elayne did use Moiraine's coin trick. - 25/08/2010 06:09:27 PM 904 Views

Simple: none were necessary for survival in Stone Age barbarism. - 23/08/2010 09:12:40 PM 770 Views
