I came to the amusing conclusion that we probably have the same opinion.

It seems that you believe that a male's channeling will automatically be more powerful if he's linked with a woman, even if he doesn't use any saidar. I believe that the link provides no benefit its self, but I also believe that he can't completely block out all the saidar. He probably needs a whisper (as Eben calls it) to keep the link active. This inadvertently strengthens his weaves a little... maybe.


Yep, that sums up the variation in our opinions, in a nutshell.

We agree re the increased potency of weaves created from both halves of the OP.

I think there may be descriptive omissions in your examples, though I can't prove it. Rand describes making a conduit out of saidar, but I'm not sure if he can totally ignore saidin in that weave. It would be similar to a woman linked to another woman... can she really only draw on her own ability, or must a little come from the link? You are focussing multiple potentials, so I can't believe it can remain completely separate. Still, maybe you can. We don't know.


Could be. I agree, we can't be sure one way or the other. We just don't have enough mixed-circle material to draw on. I expect to get a lot more material in these last books.

I'm glad you introduced the debate. I don't think anyone's ever discussed it that I can recall.


I've not seen this discussed before either, that I recall. It's something I've contemplated in the past, but that's about it.

He thought they were Aes Sedai who could not channel? fionwe1987 - 26/09/2009 07:02:42 PM 492 Views
He did not know they were Aes Sedai until after the mixed weave struck his warding. Shannow - 26/09/2009 10:13:10 PM 483 Views
