Re: No - Mat has always been lucky, winning more than losing. uglycat Send a noteboard - 19/01/2011 07:26:09 AM
And it became more so at Fal Dara. So at best the Ter'angreal could have enhanced it a bit, and I don't see why. Luck is a big part of Mat, so it being due to a once mentioned *angreal would be a letdown.


yeah, luck is integral to his character, not something tacked on later by a ter'angreal. the finns call him gambler and trickster, and i don't they'd do that if he just boosted his luck with some device. the real question is what supercharged his luck after tar valon? the healing process? i wish we had more details on that healing.
afaik, until nynaeve started kicking things up a notch, AS basically had the one healing weave. are we to understand they used that same weave to remove the SL taint? i suppose we are, but that leaves the question of why the standard battlefield healing weave, even in a circle as it was, would do that.

Key to the final battle is in Matt's first "Lucky" incident. Mndrew - 15/01/2011 04:11:02 AM 2025 Views

Possibly true, but it's debatable if that was Mat's luck Lord Haart - 15/01/2011 10:04:45 AM 1023 Views
actually, his luck started much AFTER the dagger *NM* Lo'oris - 15/01/2011 01:28:12 PM 437 Views
he was ta'veren even then so his luck was likely in place already darius_sedai - 15/01/2011 04:47:42 PM 846 Views

That's the first time we see it overtly. But there is nothing to say it wasn't there before darius_sedai - 15/01/2011 07:45:56 PM 919 Views

Maybe it will come up in AMoL and be used against him? Lord Haart - 16/01/2011 03:55:39 AM 996 Views
