Elayne did use Moiraine's coin trick. Gher Send a noteboard - 25/08/2010 06:09:27 PM
*snip* We don't see other Sisters use her trick with the coins (the one used to track the boys in TGH), for example, and for all intents and purposes, this might be another weave she created on her own.


She called it a Finder and she placed it on Samwil Hark (the cutpurse she used to tail Hanlon). She said it would fade from his clothes, but on his metal belt buckle, it would last forever.

I don't think she learned it from Moghedien, because she would have thought something along the lines of, "Among many of the nasty weaves they had squeezed from Moghedien, a few were mostly harmless, and very useful..."

And I doubt she worked it out on her own, because she thought of it as a "Finder", not a "finder".

I think it's just another weave known to the White Tower. It's mentioned to be similar to the Warder Bond, but far less complex.



But aside from that, I do agree with you. Moiraine may not be as innovative and creative as a non-White Tower trained channeler would be, but she does seem to have worked out some useful weaves by herself, or just from descriptions.

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 993 Views

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 798 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 813 Views
Me neither... - 24/08/2010 05:50:24 PM 861 Views
Mispost.. *NM* - 25/08/2010 02:51:02 PM 455 Views
I disagree - Moiraine's wilder tricks show that she is quite creative with the OP - 24/08/2010 03:31:06 PM 806 Views

When did she use that? *NM* - 25/08/2010 09:34:31 AM 368 Views
We know of her trick with stones and light from 'New Spring' IIRC - 25/08/2010 02:40:26 PM 947 Views

one thing i've noticed - 23/08/2010 06:37:48 PM 813 Views
Simple: none were necessary for survival in Stone Age barbarism. - 23/08/2010 09:12:40 PM 770 Views
