A The Light clearly has the overwhelming advantage in channelers and so angreal and sa'angreal may in some ways be more dangerous than helpful if the Shadow should obtain any, ESPECIALLY one such as the Choedan Kal, which we know they have lusted after. But I do wonder, is it more than that? The final moment describes the actual sa'angreal as even more powerful than anything being channeled through the access key, so perhaps it was actually too powerful for the pattern to deal with. Much to think about and thanks for your post!!

LoialT :]


Does the light really have the overwhelming advantage in channelers? There were some 250 black ajah mentioned in Verin's notebook out of how many? Plus the black tower is a festering hole of shadow lords if Taim's influence is as strong as it seems at the end of KOD. I guess there's the windfinders, Aiel and Seanchan, but i figure that many of those would also be black - plus with the opportunities for AOL forsaken to teach them new weaves, i wonder whether it just seems that the light has the advantage in channelers because we see the story primarily from their point of view.

If i recall correctly, by the end of the AOL/war of shadows, the Aes Sedai were split about 50:50, and the war was very close - I'd assume a similar pattern this time around.

just food for thought...

I agree with you - 30/10/2009 03:24:22 PM 1109 Views
don't forget you can't touch the true power without the DO's permission - 30/10/2009 03:31:25 PM 948 Views
I think he will overlook it - 30/10/2009 03:46:25 PM 923 Views
It also might be that Rand used Moridin as a conduit, making the DO's permission irrelevant. - 30/10/2009 03:58:04 PM 877 Views
Indeed... Moridin is definitely worried about the connection - 30/10/2009 03:59:59 PM 979 Views
Right - 30/10/2009 04:06:26 PM 1077 Views
Seems to me destroying the DO with balefire would take a force equal to his. - 06/11/2009 09:57:47 AM 720 Views

where'd you get the number of Rand's Asha'man? - 30/10/2009 10:12:00 PM 736 Views

No... you're right. - 30/10/2009 07:02:05 PM 789 Views
Hello! The TP can only be used with permission! - 30/10/2009 10:45:58 PM 874 Views
Nope - 31/10/2009 05:18:03 AM 1261 Views
I'm sorry that's wrong... - 31/10/2009 08:58:14 AM 791 Views

No, he's right - 31/10/2009 04:59:34 PM 926 Views
That's what I said *NM* - 31/10/2009 05:24:55 PM 382 Views
I don't need your permission for that... - 31/10/2009 09:57:34 PM 728 Views

You are incorrect - 27/12/2009 10:44:36 PM 725 Views
you're counting on the DO of being absent minded? - 17/04/2010 10:59:41 PM 686 Views
I think using the TP against the DO is wishful thinking. - 31/10/2009 04:33:33 PM 799 Views
Generally agree. - 06/11/2009 09:07:57 AM 838 Views
