But... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 24/08/2010 06:40:39 PM
Moiraine knew the invisibility weave way before Elayne got it out of Moghedien. Since that isn't standard AS knowledge, it would seem Moiraine did indeed figure this out herself.

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 785 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 799 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

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 1009 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 709 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 365 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

When did she use that? *NM* Lord Haart - 25/08/2010 09:34:31 AM 346 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
