On Rand and Ishamael gban007 Send a noteboard - 01/01/2016 09:20:35 PM

Just to put my 2 cents into the overall conversation on this thread

Do some of the issues we see with the power looking to change from the early books to later books revolve around Rand and Ishamael?

If so, is there potential that rather than the power changing, that Rand and Ishamael being the champions of light and shadow respectively, have a general innate strength, equivalent to others of 1++ strength, but that at times they become conduits of light / shadow, and so their apparent strength is even higher at those times?

I see this potentially supported by Rand's view of the forsaken in the first book, with the threads they had to the shadow and the differences between Aginor's and Ishamael's, and Rand's display against the shadow at Tarwin's Gap in the first book as well.

Yup ... note how silent he's been since the Companion came out *NM* darius_sedai - 18/12/2015 05:50:44 PM 628 Views
I've been silent because the Companion is a joke and hardly worth pointing out all the errors... Shannow - 19/12/2015 09:37:53 AM 1162 Views
Clearly there are mistakes in the Companion darius_sedai - 19/12/2015 03:28:49 PM 1131 Views

It is easy to accept the Companion. All you have to do is reject the evidence in the books. Shannow - 19/12/2015 06:58:41 PM 1121 Views

How do you come to these conclusions when the books so obviously refute them? darius_sedai - 03/01/2016 03:30:53 AM 1020 Views
