Writers like to have it come back to bite him in the ass a lot.

Doesn't happen in WoT?

It can, and WAS to Perrin in AMoL, be done with TAR. To say nothing of compulsion itself. Which though fairly light case as compulsion goes, is by extension why bonding a Warder against their will is stated to be seen as equivalent to rape.

That stuff was only changing one thing or imposing a motivation, not erasing his memories or personality.

First, who said anything about a complete overhaul?


Second... Even that kind of thing has happened in WoT. Between the stronger, of at least more blunt, forms of cumpulsion effectively crushing people's minds and turning them into meat puppets, and Moghedien using TAR to turn Birgitte, mind and all, into a toddler. Even threatened to give Nynaeve the mind of a horse.

Which sister-in-law nightmare come true of Elayne's would you prefer? Cannoli - 13/10/2016 12:24:13 AM 1260 Views

Does Niella count as "sister-in-law"? Elayne would be technically married to Aviendha after all... Dunstan - 14/10/2016 06:33:54 AM 934 Views
But would he have gone as far as he did making those choices if he wasn't a warder? Her warder esp.? Cannoli - 15/10/2016 01:12:07 AM 936 Views
I believe he would have regardless. His decisions have always been emotional/pride based darius_sedai - 17/10/2016 03:48:18 AM 700 Views
Egwene has MANY faults... But she is hardly to blame for Gawyn being screwed up. Dunstan - 18/10/2016 06:12:00 AM 808 Views
I wouldn't say Egwene was at fault in any way darius_sedai - 18/10/2016 04:15:34 PM 738 Views

That seems out of character for RJ to me darius_sedai - 15/01/2017 11:18:13 PM 1029 Views
It might surprise you to learn that I agree Cannoli - 10/01/2017 11:20:45 AM 784 Views
You could say the same about all of the characters though darius_sedai - 15/01/2017 11:07:18 PM 918 Views
