I said just because the taint has been described as oil-lie doesn't mean it has to have every property oil does. That's not to say it doesn't act like oil at all, just that nothing in the books says it acts like oil in every possible situation.

Thats what I was "getting at", seems odd that this has been dragged out for so long without me actually disagreeing with you.


I'm trying to understand the point you are making.

I didn't say you were disagreeing, I'm trying to understand what relevance non-oil properties would have and where they could have appeared. Clearly you think there is some relevance to saidin not being oil-like in every possible situation ... I'd like to hear what those situations are. It's curiosity more than anything.

From my POV the Taint only really existed on saidin. What other possible situations are there for it to display other non-oil like properties?

Or the taint didn't act like oil? - 13/10/2012 05:38:29 PM 733 Views
From the various descriptions in the text this seems likely - 14/10/2012 08:21:59 PM 654 Views

RJ himself said it's like an oily skin floating on top of Saidin. *NM* - 15/10/2012 02:22:22 AM 329 Views

You seem to be asking why the taint didn't mix with saidin - 16/10/2012 12:48:55 AM 549 Views
