No, I think RJ just didn't think it through, seeing as Rand sliced Lanfear's invisible weaves too... Shannow Send a noteboard - 04/02/2011 11:42:38 AM

Demandred had wardings at the Cleansing that were struck as soon as something hit him.

It's more than likely that Lanfear did the same, and it would kind of suicidal not to considering she cannot sense saidin. She either had true warding around her that resonated when they sensed an attack and showed the direction so that she could slice it quickly, or she permanently swung slicing weaves around herself and they cut anything that approached her.


In that same battle Rand doesn't know anything about Demandred's wardings, nor does he have slicing weaves revolving around him to cut any female attacks.

Instead, he somehow BLINDLY manages to cut weaves he cannot see.

Frankly, it doesn't make sense. I have often wondered about this. If you cannot see a weave, you shouldn' be aware of it until it slices your throat in half.

There is no way to slice it in mid air. Males slicing specific female weaves individually, and vica versa don't make sense.

It would be like slicing a weave of the True Power.

I thought that RJ had confirmed at some point that Thom had power wrought knives. *NM* HyogaRott - 04/02/2011 02:06:14 PM 579 Views
he may have, but it has also been implied that the blue light was because of something special/uniqu mazza3 - 04/02/2011 09:18:02 PM 753 Views

You're misapplying practices. Cannoli - 07/02/2011 01:08:22 PM 862 Views

There are ways of detecting a man's weaves. ˥ɐ ʎpu∀ɹ - 04/02/2011 04:49:55 AM 835 Views

Gestures and Weaves go hand in hand and since flows originate from the body you can logically darius_sedai - 05/02/2011 05:45:00 PM 824 Views
In general, only third age Aes Sedai gesture when they weave - it's a block imposed by training. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/02/2011 06:20:33 PM 868 Views
Not true darius_sedai - 08/02/2011 01:54:17 PM 668 Views
Your example proved my point - LTT only said that it was needed for certain weaves. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/02/2011 04:20:28 PM 1611 Views
Hmm... Sidious - 08/02/2011 05:38:13 PM 757 Views
It's a flawed and incorrect given all the examples we've seen in the books. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/02/2011 08:36:32 PM 655 Views

Well, that's partially the point I'm bringing up. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/02/2011 03:19:07 PM 698 Views
I disagree that the better assumption is that she set complex and renewing wards darius_sedai - 10/02/2011 06:12:07 PM 887 Views
I never said she could - I said she sensed them, and felt the woman's channeling. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/02/2011 03:04:00 PM 678 Views
I think this is the crux of the matter Sidious - 09/02/2011 03:32:18 PM 770 Views
I think she had a ward to detect saidin, and when it was triggered, she guessed it would be Air RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/02/2011 04:40:46 PM 747 Views
