They obviously didn't channel all of it, since there were other wielders around them using the Power to settle beef.


But the cleansing didn't happen in an instant. It took all day. Even the sa'angreal-ed Rand and Nynaeve had a limit to how much they could channel. And that which had been cleansed would have returned to the general 'pool', available for use by others, surely?

But yes, this is all purely speculation and probably wrong. I'm not sure if RJ ever explained what exactly the DO did to taint saidin, and therefore how the cleansing worked.

Or the taint didn't act like oil? - 13/10/2012 05:38:29 PM 816 Views
From the various descriptions in the text this seems likely - 14/10/2012 08:21:59 PM 748 Views

You seem to be asking why the taint didn't mix with saidin - 16/10/2012 12:48:55 AM 647 Views
I think you might be, not sure where you've gotten that idea from. *NM* - 16/10/2012 02:45:18 AM 343 Views
