yes but it doesn't proactively do this darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 19/01/2016 10:06:25 PM


Saidar is a calm river, yes... but only till it is pushed. Fight it, and it suddenly flips into a mire with whirlpools and hidden currents. I suspect something trying to stem the flow of saidar would face that.

point being the way a woman embraces saidar is inherently passive while men must seize saidin in an aggressive manner. Males must fight to maintain the connection whereas females float within the embrace of saidar. The more I think about it the more it makes sense that it would take more raw power to cut a man off from saidin than it would cutting a woman off from saidar.


It seems to me shielding against either would be different. Would be interesting to see if the most skilled channelers alter their shields for men and women a bit.

I would image this would be the case ... would explain why Graendal would be able to cut off and shield Aran'gar. It also seems to be the case from how we see Nynaeve and Moghedien attacking each other with blades of saidar while Rand attacked Aes Sedai holding him with fists of saidin.

Domani Drag Queen in the White Tower ... Aran'gar watch out!

Responding to a shield doesn't require proactiveness fionwe1987 - 20/01/2016 05:53:24 AM 911 Views
it's a visualization thing really darius_sedai - 20/01/2016 04:39:08 PM 967 Views

There's not much to go on since all the shields except Berowyn's are the same darius_sedai - 21/01/2016 09:55:14 PM 932 Views
That's precisely my point fionwe1987 - 21/01/2016 10:09:02 PM 1064 Views
now you are speculating based on a lack of evidence darius_sedai - 21/01/2016 10:39:13 PM 872 Views
There's actual evidence: fionwe1987 - 22/01/2016 06:25:25 AM 1077 Views
what's dense here is that you keep putting in quotes that don't support your position darius_sedai - 22/01/2016 03:28:16 PM 1200 Views
