You were right to dread... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 19/11/2010 10:02:05 PM
Imagine being caught in a burning structure. The Aes Sedai weaves a bubble of Air around herself to protect her. She will not burn or suffocate for now, but she has not extinguished the flames, and she will eventually run out of air. This is what the Age of Legends Aes Sedai did. What Nynaeve did was put out the fire.

And you know this how? Based on your analogy, the AoL AS temporarily warded their patients brain from a madness they couldn't cure. So, something like the white radiance protecting Rand's brain, but temporary? If that were so, Nynave should have been able to replicate that radiance or something like it. Yet while the seemingly impossible task of Healing is achieved by her, she is baffled by the radiance. Doesn't add up to me.

Ishamael's words imply the impossibility of actually healing the madness, but the possibility to give Lews Therin a few moments of clear thought despite this.

No. He says LTT can be given a few moments of sanity. How that can be achieved isn't discussed at all.

What Nynaeve did was heal the madness. Therefore, I disagree with Sidious' assertion that what Nynaeve did was done before, as demonstrated in Dragonmount.

You have as little prof for hut theory as he does, but his has the advantage if being simpler.

Nynaeve's healing seems more permanent, though. RandAllThor - 18/11/2010 02:19:06 PM 888 Views

Even if we were to accept that as true... Fanatic-Templar - 18/11/2010 10:55:31 PM 577 Views
Maybe... fionwe1987 - 18/11/2010 11:18:08 PM 545 Views
Could be... Fanatic-Templar - 19/11/2010 03:01:35 AM 568 Views

We're told exactly the opposite... fionwe1987 - 19/11/2010 05:47:31 AM 611 Views
Exactly. Fanatic-Templar - 19/11/2010 06:02:52 AM 559 Views
What are you arguing? fionwe1987 - 19/11/2010 06:50:58 AM 562 Views
Though I dread doing this, perhaps an analogy? Fanatic-Templar - 19/11/2010 06:16:30 PM 564 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 588 Views

LTT was correct. eucatastrophe - 18/11/2010 11:12:52 PM 803 Views
except, as noted, the taint was constantly reoccuring LadyLorraine - 23/11/2010 08:09:08 PM 501 Views
Hmm. I think we don't have enough information. Skeeve the Great - 19/11/2010 07:40:30 PM 642 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 567 Views
