A few seconds is the same as a few hours, in this situation beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 07/10/2009 11:05:25 PM
Bel'al's thread was burned backwards in the pattern, say by 10 seconds. That means that the DO would have had to "catch" Bel'al's life 10 seconds ago to ressurect him.

However, the DO didn't catch him, because 10 seconds ago, Bel'al wasn't dead!

It's paradox, which pops up whenever balefire enters into the equation.

You COULD make some sort of justification that the 10-seconds-ago Dark One would have saved Bel'al, thus making Bel'al reincarnated in the present, and it'd make more or less sense in some other series... but that's not how things work in WoT.
I amuse myself.

RJ actually indicated... Etzel - 10/10/2009 10:51:23 AM 638 Views
I don't think he'd have considered it at all without this aspect. Joel - 12/10/2009 12:45:26 AM 647 Views
Nope... Etzel - 07/10/2009 04:09:52 PM 693 Views

The other Forsaken... Etzel - 07/10/2009 04:31:26 PM 692 Views
Except for mentions of the fellow pretending to be Sammael. Joel - 07/10/2009 04:56:11 PM 926 Views
And why.. Etzel - 07/10/2009 05:25:30 PM 684 Views
Honestly, I do think Graendal was posing as Sammael, but we can't know for sure. Joel - 12/10/2009 12:58:58 AM 785 Views
