That actually explains the cleansing for me A Deathwatch Guard Send a noteboard - 13/10/2012 01:07:57 AM
I always saw the One Power as infinite, so what Rand and Nyn did never made much sense to me, but I wrote it off by not thinking too much about it. But if the One Power is finite, and they actually channeled all of it over the course of the day, it would be entirely possible for them to funnel all of saidin through Shadar Logoth, leaving the taint behind, and saidin returning to the overall saidin pool normal and taint-free.

Although if looked at that way, there's still the issue that if clean saidin is added to a pool of tainted saidin, wouldn't the taint spread to it too? Maybe the taint itself would get diluted, but that would mean that no matter how much saidin they funneled through Shadar Logoth, some taint would always remain. Which seems problematic.

Or the taint didn't act like oil? - 13/10/2012 05:38:29 PM 722 Views
From the various descriptions in the text this seems likely - 14/10/2012 08:21:59 PM 644 Views

RJ himself said it's like an oily skin floating on top of Saidin. *NM* - 15/10/2012 02:22:22 AM 327 Views

You seem to be asking why the taint didn't mix with saidin - 16/10/2012 12:48:55 AM 542 Views
I think you might be, not sure where you've gotten that idea from. *NM* - 16/10/2012 02:45:18 AM 305 Views
