Yeah, I think that the reason formal Stilling is much more complex and far longer is because it's done by Aes Sedai, and requires a fair bit of ceremony.


Well there is that. However, I think it's a strength thing too. In my opinion you have to be able to destroy another channeler's conduit to the Source. Therefore I don't think someone like Moiraine could still another channeler, unless that channeler was Morgase or Sorilea, and maybe not even then. Very strong channelers like Egwene and Nynaeve can make razor sharp shields backed up with a lot of saidar, so that when they hit you they just rip into your connection to the Source, and leave you ruined forever.

Interestingly, however, Rand does some crushing to sever his Aes Sedai captives. I don't know if this is a difference in situation, or a saidar/saidin difference.


Once again I think it's a strength thing. Nynaeve makes a razor sharp shield instantly and sends it Moghedien's way. Egwene needs to prepare the shield, which is a time-consuming process as she describes it, taking at least a few seconds. Rand, on the other hand, is so strong that he doesn't even need a sharp shield. He just sends fists of Spirit, and tramples on the other channeler like an elephant. He probably couldn't do that to someone like Lanfear, where he would need to prepare a good shield like Egwene and Nynaeve did, but for a woman as weak as an Aes Sedai, they're road kill for him.

Makes sense, but... - 03/10/2009 07:04:27 PM 802 Views
Nynaeve does. Egwene did it solo in tDR. Rand did 3 at once in LoC, but men don't seem to know how - 03/10/2009 07:16:03 PM 1048 Views

I think Egwene took longer because it was the first time. *NM* - 04/10/2009 07:20:26 PM 304 Views
