It's different (I think?) but I'm certainly no expert and I'm sure someone else will reply Deadsy - 21/09/2010 06:57:18 PM 1695 Views
OK, I haven't read the scene, so I don't know if Arangar was holding saidin at the time or not Shannow - 21/09/2010 07:00:23 PM 1513 Views
Re: OK, I haven't read the scene, so I don't know if Arangar was holding saidin at the time or not. Deadsy - 21/09/2010 07:11:42 PM 1621 Views
Thanks. Was Arangar channeling at the time? Shannow - 21/09/2010 07:13:53 PM 1605 Views
I think so, yes. fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 07:15:44 PM 1539 Views
I don't think so actually darius_sedai - 21/09/2010 07:57:42 PM 1636 Views
I don't think Aran'gar was channeling Ryan - 21/09/2010 11:00:22 PM 1593 Views

Thanks. A few comments... Shannow - 21/09/2010 07:27:33 PM 1471 Views
I don't rule out the angreal... fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 07:32:40 PM 1505 Views
Elayne's weakest angreal doubles her strength. Graendal x2 can easily shield Cyndane+Moggy, so... Shannow - 21/09/2010 07:35:06 PM 1638 Views
Graendal's seemed much weaker... fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 07:52:20 PM 1504 Views
Elayne also called the x2 turtle angreal "weak"... Shannow - 21/09/2010 08:00:01 PM 1511 Views
and we know it wasn't enough to overwhlem Verin's circle darius_sedai - 21/09/2010 08:02:13 PM 1353 Views
I disasgree. There is no evidence that Aran'gar was holding saidin at the time darius_sedai - 21/09/2010 07:42:23 PM 1449 Views
Then why did she gasp at the shield? She couldn't have known what Graendal was weaving. fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 07:52:49 PM 1484 Views
because she was surprised that Graendal would put a shield on her in the first place darius_sedai - 21/09/2010 07:58:45 PM 1497 Views
How did she know there was a shield? fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 09:16:59 PM 1457 Views
Fact: Graendal cannot shield a male Forsaken and an Aes Sedai if they are holding the Source... Shannow - 21/09/2010 09:28:17 PM 1453 Views
Who said "they"? fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 09:55:28 PM 1428 Views
Depends on the level of surprise, I guess. If he was only holding a trickle of saidin, then maybe Shannow - 21/09/2010 10:05:37 PM 1490 Views
I don't think strength is the only determinant... fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 10:24:24 PM 1457 Views
I really don't think you have to be holding the source to know you've been shielded Deadsy - 21/09/2010 10:29:20 PM 1397 Views
Provide evidence? fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 10:36:36 PM 1454 Views
Thanks, but like I said, they were both wrapped in air. That's enough for Aran'gar to wonder Deadsy - 21/09/2010 10:44:17 PM 1366 Views
They gasped before Graendal wove Air... fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 11:13:48 PM 1431 Views
Alright, you win *NM* Deadsy - 22/09/2010 02:51:26 AM 967 Views

Siuan was distracted by a number of other things going on, not to mention how suspect darius_sedai - 22/09/2010 02:43:36 PM 1347 Views
And Aran'gar was fully focussed on Graendal? fionwe1987 - 22/09/2010 03:02:16 PM 1582 Views
More so than Siuan was on Elaida when they were shielded. darius_sedai - 22/09/2010 03:33:15 PM 2363 Views
So? fionwe1987 - 22/09/2010 03:48:11 PM 1290 Views
It doesn't matter. There are more Shieldings that go unnoticed when not holding the Source Mik - 22/09/2010 03:55:48 PM 1395 Views
Nice catches! fionwe1987 - 22/09/2010 04:06:52 PM 1488 Views
we don't know that darius_sedai - 22/09/2010 02:35:50 PM 1427 Views
Huh? fionwe1987 - 22/09/2010 03:03:52 PM 1374 Views
Give over, Darius... there's plenty of evidence... Mik - 22/09/2010 03:45:11 PM 1418 Views
Give over what? There is no hard evidence that Aran'gar wouldn't notice a shield put on her darius_sedai - 22/09/2010 05:00:11 PM 1329 Views
What rot... (also, Egwene and Rand) fionwe1987 - 22/09/2010 05:21:08 PM 1435 Views
take a pill Fionwe ... no need to go batshit on me for having an opinion. darius_sedai - 22/09/2010 05:38:21 PM 1413 Views
Re: take a pill Fionwe ... no need to go batshit on me for having an opinion. Sidious - 22/09/2010 05:45:05 PM 1531 Views
if it was JUST one shield ... but she's shielding an AS and weaving a Gateway too! darius_sedai - 22/09/2010 05:48:52 PM 3454 Views
Well... Sidious - 22/09/2010 07:00:26 PM 1468 Views
She says... fionwe1987 - 22/09/2010 07:04:32 PM 1465 Views
no one is arguing that darius_sedai - 22/09/2010 07:09:17 PM 1410 Views
Er... Sidious - 22/09/2010 07:19:09 PM 1365 Views
I'm contending that it's possible Aran'gar snesed she'd been shielded darius_sedai - 22/09/2010 07:20:48 PM 2190 Views
Re: I'm contending that it's possible Aran'gar snesed she'd been shielded Sidious - 22/09/2010 07:26:52 PM 2156 Views
Again, I just find that option completely unlikely since Graendals angreal isn't all that strong darius_sedai - 22/09/2010 07:39:02 PM 1416 Views
You've made a long list of channelers "incompetant" and "untrained". Enough. fionwe1987 - 23/09/2010 01:53:25 AM 1505 Views

The way it reads she is holding open a Gateway, then slams shields on both darius_sedai - 22/09/2010 07:08:17 PM 1387 Views

Sidious pointed it out, actually. But thanks! fionwe1987 - 23/09/2010 03:55:29 PM 1410 Views
And you ignore all the evidence in the series that definitively makes it impossible for Graendal to darius_sedai - 23/09/2010 03:57:49 PM 1301 Views
Well... Sidious - 23/09/2010 04:31:27 PM 1485 Views
According to Fionwe she isn't using the angreal darius_sedai - 24/09/2010 11:18:30 PM 1611 Views
Re: According to Fionwe she isn't using the angreal Sidious - 25/09/2010 09:38:41 AM 1455 Views
Possible, but he specifically calls out when she ties off other weaves in the scene darius_sedai - 25/09/2010 04:28:48 PM 1467 Views

Re: How did she know there was a shield? Gee69 - 24/09/2010 04:42:25 AM 1401 Views
You can sense the source when shielded. Entering a stedding you can't even sense it. *NM* Myrdhyn - 24/09/2010 02:46:09 PM 1078 Views
You'[re missing the part about the bonds of air as well Ryan - 21/09/2010 11:06:04 PM 1398 Views
No. The sequence was shield-gasp-tie off shield-wrap in Air. *NM* fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 11:14:41 PM 1011 Views
We have seen people holding the source caught off guard by a shield *NM* Ryan - 22/09/2010 12:10:48 AM 963 Views

Yes, that seems the most likely answer. That and the use of the angreal. Shannow - 21/09/2010 07:35:53 PM 1520 Views
