The bracelet was introduced in TFoH. eucatastrophe Send a noteboard - 09/11/2010 09:47:43 AM
being drained of so much power than she could barely pass her accepted test, YET given a 'sa'angreal' which she says will make her MUCH more powerful than before.

Is it just some clever('ish) way to make Moiraine basically more powerful, with some lame explanation?

Why not just make her more powerful, or less? The angreal/sa'angreal business just seems odd.

I mean why would Moiraine even wish for that? If she could have any wish for an object of the Power why not ask for an access key or other nigh omnipotent sa'angreal. Also sorry but this wasn't acting like such a powerful angreal when Lanfear had it.

We know that a 'weak' angreal (according to Elayne) can only triple your access to the OP, so a strong one that is nearly a sa'angreal would probably be 10 to 100 times as strong. I don't think Lanfear was even 2 times her strength with this angreal, let alone 10 times where she could have torn Rand into a thousand pieces before he ever thought to use his angreal.

This angreal's (sa'angreal's) strength is definitely being retconned by RJ/BS



and therefore asked for it because the impressions she got told her she needed it.

Also, how can you retcon something that was just introduced?

That sa'angreal and Moiraine have lots of history together... its the same one she left for Lanfear Guava - 09/11/2010 07:30:19 AM 1143 Views

You'd need to take it up with RJ, I imagine. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/11/2010 04:34:04 PM 965 Views

It shows us why Cyndane is weaker than Lanfear. *NM* Skeeve the Great - 09/11/2010 05:25:34 PM 431 Views
