Problems with gateways Narg - 28/09/2012 05:02:47 PM 2805 Views
Uh, yeah, well, whenever you notice something like that... a wizard did it. *NM* Tom - 28/09/2012 05:47:13 PM 618 Views
Yeah, I realize that raising physics questions about fantasy books can be absurd... Narg - 28/09/2012 06:03:05 PM 1014 Views
It's been discussed before... DomA - 28/09/2012 06:04:35 PM 1352 Views

Egwene would likely also know since she puzzled it out as well darius_sedai - 28/09/2012 07:28:22 PM 1123 Views

He said he can make one large enough for a Wagon to pass through darius_sedai - 02/10/2012 03:23:26 AM 963 Views
Gateway Talent I'd say Sidious - 02/10/2012 08:55:26 AM 1061 Views
I think Androl is proof that gateways are more about a the Talent than strength darius_sedai - 02/10/2012 09:00:26 AM 1095 Views
No I think they're more about strength Sidious - 02/10/2012 09:27:17 AM 1229 Views

Um she tries out of desperation? darius_sedai - 05/10/2012 03:06:59 PM 1064 Views
Logain may be correct that Rand is stronger, but his reason is not correct darius_sedai - 03/10/2012 02:13:08 PM 1285 Views
But his thought processes are sound Sidious - 04/10/2012 08:20:13 AM 963 Views

Maybe darius_sedai - 08/10/2012 07:48:24 PM 975 Views
still don't think that's proof. It's just practical. Onarishma - 11/10/2012 07:06:15 PM 936 Views
Interesting point you bring up about fighting for control darius_sedai - 12/10/2012 03:44:26 AM 929 Views
She wouldn't have to guess! Onarishma - 09/10/2012 08:43:54 PM 962 Views
Really? Where is that quote? All we've heard is a woman needs to be strong enough darius_sedai - 09/10/2012 11:44:15 PM 964 Views
There is only one book left. It is definitely not LIKELY Onarishma - 11/10/2012 08:06:04 PM 999 Views
I can agree with most of that ... I simply believe that the Talent dictates the amount of strength darius_sedai - 12/10/2012 03:53:21 AM 925 Views

I only discount direct statements when we are explicitly shown that they are incorrect darius_sedai - 13/10/2012 06:55:38 PM 952 Views
Because let's be honest, it's rarely a Talent and you both know it Sidious - 11/10/2012 04:44:27 PM 1014 Views
TY!!! Onarishma - 11/10/2012 08:38:44 PM 1038 Views

Apoplexy, that is what is happening on my side of the screen Onarishma - 11/10/2012 08:31:30 PM 763 Views
the fact that Egwene is proven incorrect on this any number of times? darius_sedai - 12/10/2012 04:14:35 AM 1027 Views

to the point on the Circle darius_sedai - 06/10/2012 09:36:18 PM 1010 Views
Circles don't add the Talents... fionwe1987 - 07/10/2012 03:34:47 AM 965 Views
I had forgotten about Brendas! darius_sedai - 07/10/2012 05:15:52 AM 966 Views
I've been thinking about this darius_sedai - 07/10/2012 10:11:22 PM 923 Views
Circles give added precision, remember? fionwe1987 - 07/10/2012 11:27:05 PM 964 Views
I get that, but the evidence in front of me from the text is inconsistent to the quote darius_sedai - 08/10/2012 12:11:15 AM 834 Views
Circles of larger numbers give added benefit... fionwe1987 - 08/10/2012 02:00:58 AM 1015 Views
Egwene with a sa'angreal might be like 15x her natural strength, so maybe 9-10x Rand darius_sedai - 08/10/2012 02:59:26 AM 910 Views
Highly doubtful... fionwe1987 - 08/10/2012 01:36:47 PM 951 Views
Meh, I don't really care all that much, I just don't think this adds up to the text. darius_sedai - 08/10/2012 03:31:20 PM 930 Views
Re: Meh, I don't really care all that much, I just don't think this adds up to the text. Sidious - 08/10/2012 05:57:04 PM 941 Views
That is actually the crux of my issue darius_sedai - 08/10/2012 07:52:52 PM 920 Views
That's why its called exponential. It is NOT linear and that why the gains look ridiculous Onarishma - 11/10/2012 10:00:15 PM 966 Views
Yet that only explains when a circle does certain things darius_sedai - 12/10/2012 04:18:36 AM 963 Views
the text is not inconsistent. Onarishma - 19/10/2012 08:20:52 PM 1419 Views
I see, it only counts when it supports your point! Why didn't I think of that! darius_sedai - 20/10/2012 03:58:27 AM 1063 Views
RJ specifically said that was ONLY because of Forsaken skill level Onarishma - 11/10/2012 09:02:03 PM 951 Views
Not so much darius_sedai - 12/10/2012 04:28:44 AM 955 Views
I'm still arguing about this but I think the evidence is that AS holding a shield are not linked. Onarishma - 11/10/2012 08:59:20 PM 1014 Views
I've given this point some thought too ... It's a dicey subject darius_sedai - 12/10/2012 04:22:23 AM 883 Views
THAT is proof of the power of LINKING. This is why thirteen Morgases could smash Rand. Onarishma - 11/10/2012 08:41:45 PM 845 Views
It's one example that supports the exponential increase ... not arguing that darius_sedai - 12/10/2012 04:40:08 AM 957 Views

Healing is a thing of the physical body darius_sedai - 07/10/2012 09:50:37 PM 981 Views
Suian was stilled for hiding these boys. obviously trust was the issue. not healing skill. *NM* Onarishma - 11/10/2012 10:11:50 PM 441 Views
Didn't I just say that? darius_sedai - 12/10/2012 04:31:22 AM 925 Views
That's what makes a Talent a Talent.... Onarishma - 04/10/2012 05:02:36 PM 959 Views
There is so much evidence against this darius_sedai - 04/10/2012 08:04:45 PM 1050 Views
Androl does not match Rands Gateway size. Onarishma - 05/10/2012 05:59:34 PM 1041 Views
Rand states straight out that gateway size is not OP strength dependent. fionwe1987 - 05/10/2012 08:51:58 PM 918 Views
+500 ... Well said sir! *NM* darius_sedai - 06/10/2012 04:52:38 AM 735 Views
He's referring to skimming Sidious - 06/10/2012 07:08:14 AM 1100 Views

Re: I think we aren't far off in interpretation Sidious - 08/10/2012 05:41:12 PM 945 Views
We are close enough on this point darius_sedai - 08/10/2012 08:02:48 PM 1053 Views
Re: Rand states straight out that gateway size is not OP strength dependent. Onarishma - 07/10/2012 06:37:32 PM 989 Views
Please explain Androl then darius_sedai - 07/10/2012 09:48:54 PM 1009 Views
OMG. Androl DOES have a Talent. NO ONE is disputing that. Onarishma - 11/10/2012 10:50:41 PM 958 Views
You have waffled back and forth on Traveling being a Talent darius_sedai - 14/10/2012 03:01:03 AM 973 Views
there is no waffle here. plenty of syrup though.... Onarishma - 18/10/2012 06:53:34 PM 1021 Views
No it's not darius_sedai - 19/10/2012 04:25:25 AM 850 Views
fionwe1987 - 07/10/2012 11:35:00 PM 831 Views
i will gladly find you the quote where it it is the right size and ONLY takes more power. Onarishma - 11/10/2012 11:18:15 PM 975 Views
I don't think so... Spirit is used in many weaves (like Healing) as part of the weave darius_sedai - 12/10/2012 04:38:29 AM 965 Views
I was incorrect about the size. but ultimately not incorrect about her evaluation quote within Onarishma - 18/10/2012 03:28:30 PM 1135 Views
How many different times does the text have to say Traveling is a Talent? darius_sedai - 05/10/2012 11:54:19 PM 930 Views
How do you know there's a difference? Sidious - 06/10/2012 06:53:33 AM 995 Views
darius_sedai - 06/10/2012 03:15:25 PM 978 Views
the text calls a lot of things Talents when they're just lost weaves...Traveling is one of them. *NM* Onarishma - 07/10/2012 07:03:35 PM 651 Views
Not really darius_sedai - 07/10/2012 09:57:56 PM 943 Views
I agree with this PoV Sidious - 06/10/2012 07:19:52 AM 1084 Views
Yes, Healing Talent is incredibly rare and only implies out of proportion ability... darius_sedai - 06/10/2012 03:36:24 PM 915 Views
I think you use the word Talent too liberally Sidious - 08/10/2012 05:45:39 PM 1043 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 08/10/2012 08:08:04 PM 973 Views
I sort of agree with Sidious there DomA - 09/10/2012 03:03:54 PM 946 Views
Flinn has difficulty with the weave. Unlike Aviendha he doesn't has a second weave problem darius_sedai - 09/10/2012 06:17:34 PM 916 Views
