Souls are eternal (dixit RJ) - which is a strong argument for there being a finite amount of them made at the moment of creation (souls don't die, so there's no need for replacements), and you have to "borrow" an existing soul to create a lifeform,

There's also the fact Creation is a finite system, and so is the Creator-OP. The Creator also remains uninvolved. "Hero" Souls are chosen by the Wheel among the pool, not custom made to purpose.

These are not final evidence, but most likely yes, the number of souls is finite and no new ones are added. A much stronger point can be made for that, and not much for the opposite from the facts in the story.

It's the style. In the Randland context, the word "grows" is more appropriate... Shannow - 01/10/2010 03:31:22 PM 1409 Views
did you not read my reply title? That was a quote from The Shadow Rising, same exact context. *NM* Deadsy - 01/10/2010 03:32:23 PM 772 Views
Fine. So be it. It still feels wrong to me. *NM* Shannow - 01/10/2010 03:36:16 PM 668 Views

It sounds like Rand is finally growing up RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/10/2010 03:46:54 PM 1471 Views
He has achieved enlightenment and knows more than everyone else, so he doesn't have to be insecure.. Shannow - 01/10/2010 03:52:23 PM 1265 Views
I don't agree - I think that what he is going to tell Egwene will be unpleasant for everyone. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/10/2010 04:07:19 PM 1365 Views
Why would that upset her? Shannow - 01/10/2010 04:21:29 PM 1416 Views
Because I think she was hoping to work with him to solve some of these problems RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/10/2010 04:42:33 PM 1380 Views
