I believe he is wrong. I see no reason to dismiss Lews Therin's surprise, or the other times we were told Aes Sedai could not save tainted male channelers.

Lews Therin was never lucid (except for a few brief moments before his death) after saidin was tainted. Ishamael was, and he said a mad Lews Therin could get a few moments of lucidity if one of his Sisters was around.


I don't see how this can be viewed as being Healed of madness. You think the suddenly sane channeler wouldn't be able to stop himself from channeling for even a few minutes? And that those few minutes would return the channeler to insanity? What Ishamael is saying is that even the best Aes Sedai could do no more then hold the madness at bay for a few minutes.
The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

Nynaeve's healing seems more permanent, though. RandAllThor - 18/11/2010 02:19:06 PM 886 Views

Even if we were to accept that as true... Fanatic-Templar - 18/11/2010 10:55:31 PM 576 Views
Maybe... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2010 11:18:08 PM 543 Views

What are you arguing? fionwe1987 - 19/11/2010 06:50:58 AM 561 Views
Though I dread doing this, perhaps an analogy? Fanatic-Templar - 19/11/2010 06:16:30 PM 562 Views

I'm not really sure that healing the taint and the mental Restoration AOL Aes Sedai had are the same RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/11/2010 10:01:01 PM 586 Views

LTT was correct. eucatastrophe - 18/11/2010 11:12:52 PM 802 Views
except, as noted, the taint was constantly reoccuring LadyLorraine - 23/11/2010 08:09:08 PM 500 Views
Hmm. I think we don't have enough information. Skeeve the Great - 19/11/2010 07:40:30 PM 641 Views
Lots of reason to believe that the Taint was much stronger straight after the Breaking Lord Haart - 26/11/2010 01:24:17 PM 565 Views
