I'm thinking there are 2 items that break webs in different ways darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 04/01/2011 07:51:46 PM
One that interferes with a weave from a distance and a separate one that unravels weaves as Cyndane mentions below:

WH
With the CK

Just as it reached the woman, almost close enough to singe her garments, the web of Fire unraveled. The woman did not do anything; the net simply came apart! Cyndane had never heard of a ter'angreal that would break a web, but it must be that.

It would make sense that the ter'angreal Cadsuane used to disrupt Semirhage's MOM was different, or more active, than the passive versions we've seen on Alivia and Mat.

Note the difference in the Semirhage scene:

KOD
A Plain Wooden Box

“No,” Cadsuane replied grimly. “But I can do something about it. Once we’re closer.” Her golden hair ornaments swayed as she tossed her cloak back as though unmasking a sword.

...

Abruptly, no more than ten paces away, she… flickered. For an instant, she was taller than most men. garbed all in black, surprise on her face, and though she still wore the veil, her head was covered with short-cut wavy black hair. Only an instant before the small woman returned, her step faltering as she let her white skirts fall, but another flicker, and the tall dark woman stood there, her face twisted in fury behind the veil. He recognized that face, though he had never seen it before. Lews Therin had, and that was enough.


This seems different than the weave breakers. Even if the flicker was just Semirhage rebuilding the MOM in an instant, the affect was from 10 paces away and affected a weave not directed at the wearer, which we've not seen from either Mat or Nynaeve's ter'angreal. This seems more like a device that slices a weave from a distance at the wearers command.

It's possible that LTT was referring to the defensive ter'angreal, which is supported by Cyndane being unaware of it, rather than the more offensive device Cadsuane seems to possess.

Perhaps the original Paralis-Net included:

Distance Weave Disruptor (that Semirhage encountered)
Well
Angreal
Mood detectors (Nynaeve's set can tell when someone nearby is angry, or has a strong emotion IIRC)

Breaking Era could have included the defensive disruptors like Mat's and the Channeling detectors Demandred mentions.

How did Cyndane defeat Alivia? - 31/12/2010 08:03:39 PM 3576 Views
As RJ said, Cyndane knows a LOT more about the OP - 31/12/2010 08:33:47 PM 1650 Views

Dude, he calls it out specifically. Cyndane beat Alivia because of her skill - 01/01/2011 03:22:48 PM 1253 Views

Here are few other quotes establishing how little Alivia knows of the OP - 02/01/2011 07:39:36 PM 1205 Views

Not really ... Rand has had LTT knowledge leaking into his head for a long time - 02/01/2011 07:13:41 PM 1054 Views
reversed weaves are only useful when dealing with someone who doesn't know they exist. - 03/01/2011 07:51:01 PM 972 Views
Depends on the circumstances really - 04/01/2011 02:17:29 PM 1118 Views
but why would she have any idea that Nynaeve would be able to resist her. - 10/01/2011 07:30:49 PM 1058 Views
Well she did get attacked right off the bat... Pretty indicative that Nyn resist her compulsion - 11/01/2011 12:56:51 AM 1032 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 1189 Views
that's where she made her mistake - 11/01/2011 04:47:56 PM 1004 Views
It would be these memories, his t'a'veren nature & sheer luck/plot necessity that gave him the edge - 03/01/2011 10:32:43 PM 1100 Views
Well that was always going to happen - 03/01/2011 11:41:22 PM 1031 Views

Alivia has little experience fighting channellers, unlike Lanfear (most likely)... - 03/01/2011 12:56:43 AM 1419 Views

Where do you get this idea? *NM* - 03/01/2011 07:19:50 PM 611 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 1118 Views

Cadsuane has two types of weavebreakers... - 05/01/2011 12:51:38 PM 949 Views
inconclusive ... the ornament may be the same one she used to disrupt Semirhage - 05/01/2011 04:09:39 PM 1025 Views
I'm confused... - 05/01/2011 06:15:06 PM 1004 Views
Why should Cadsuane's "distance" unraveler not also go cold at nearby channeling? - 05/01/2011 06:51:49 PM 1013 Views
I'd buy this. - 05/01/2011 07:12:50 PM 985 Views
Except Cyndane had never heard of a ter'angreal that can unravel weaves... - 05/01/2011 07:18:58 PM 908 Views
Not necessarily. - 05/01/2011 09:26:49 PM 1013 Views
I doubt it since LTT claims they created the "first" ones in the AOL - 08/01/2011 05:23:53 PM 967 Views
The first paralis nets, not necessarily the first weave breakers. - 09/01/2011 09:53:56 PM 1020 Views
Maybe, but that's getting really convoluted - 10/01/2011 03:36:17 AM 889 Views
