Especially in a fight for your life that isn't a neat duel with both sides agreeing to certain rules. There is a reason why the most "powerful" Forsaken fell first, and it has to do with how they applied their skills and personality to the situation as a whole - not just the battlefield. The Alivia vs Cyndane fight was illuminating because a skill which the Forsaken take for granted, and probably learned before sophomore year of Channeling University can allow them to match less-skilled but more powerful channelers.


And the irony is that reversing webs, or even hiding your ability (for women) probably were just "good manners" once! At least I'm pretty convinced the whole point of hiding your ability was simply not to display the glow of saidar, and the same for reversed webs. There were probably used most when displays of channelling could have been impolite/annoying/distracting to people around you (that would happen often in a society with many AS), and for security/discretion motives, for instance to protect a weave to unlock a personal ter'angreal, to make or unmake a ward on personal stuff, or to use the ATM and such. In the WOS, like so many other refined niceties of the AOL (like Gateways...), this was turned to lethal use.

How did Cyndane defeat Alivia? - 31/12/2010 08:03:39 PM 3590 Views
As RJ said, Cyndane knows a LOT more about the OP - 31/12/2010 08:33:47 PM 1661 Views

Dude, he calls it out specifically. Cyndane beat Alivia because of her skill - 01/01/2011 03:22:48 PM 1261 Views

Here are few other quotes establishing how little Alivia knows of the OP - 02/01/2011 07:39:36 PM 1213 Views

Not really ... Rand has had LTT knowledge leaking into his head for a long time - 02/01/2011 07:13:41 PM 1063 Views
reversed weaves are only useful when dealing with someone who doesn't know they exist. - 03/01/2011 07:51:01 PM 982 Views
Depends on the circumstances really - 04/01/2011 02:17:29 PM 1126 Views
but why would she have any idea that Nynaeve would be able to resist her. - 10/01/2011 07:30:49 PM 1066 Views
Well she did get attacked right off the bat... Pretty indicative that Nyn resist her compulsion - 11/01/2011 12:56:51 AM 1040 Views
Exactly. which is why she didn't have time to do any "fancy" and time consuming reversing. - 11/01/2011 03:23:50 PM 1197 Views
that's where she made her mistake - 11/01/2011 04:47:56 PM 1013 Views

Alivia has little experience fighting channellers, unlike Lanfear (most likely)... - 03/01/2011 12:56:43 AM 1440 Views

Where do you get this idea? *NM* - 03/01/2011 07:19:50 PM 618 Views
Well, he's definitely right he was commenting on one of the specific ter'angreal in her "net". - 03/01/2011 10:51:09 PM 1127 Views

Cadsuane has two types of weavebreakers... - 05/01/2011 12:51:38 PM 959 Views
inconclusive ... the ornament may be the same one she used to disrupt Semirhage - 05/01/2011 04:09:39 PM 1035 Views
I'm confused... - 05/01/2011 06:15:06 PM 1015 Views
Why should Cadsuane's "distance" unraveler not also go cold at nearby channeling? - 05/01/2011 06:51:49 PM 1020 Views
I'd buy this. - 05/01/2011 07:12:50 PM 993 Views
Except Cyndane had never heard of a ter'angreal that can unravel weaves... - 05/01/2011 07:18:58 PM 916 Views
Not necessarily. - 05/01/2011 09:26:49 PM 1020 Views
I doubt it since LTT claims they created the "first" ones in the AOL - 08/01/2011 05:23:53 PM 974 Views
The first paralis nets, not necessarily the first weave breakers. - 09/01/2011 09:53:56 PM 1026 Views
Maybe, but that's getting really convoluted - 10/01/2011 03:36:17 AM 898 Views
