Can SH see weaves of saidar?


From ACoS, chapter 40:

The Myrddraal moved from the deeper shadows, becoming visible. In its eyes, the gateways had left a residue—three patches of glowing mist. It could not tell one flow from another, but it could distinguish saidin from saidar by the smell. Saidin smelled like the sharp edge of a knife, the point of a thorn. Saidar smelled soft, but like something that would grow harder the harder it was pressed. No other Myrddraal could smell that difference. Shaidar Haran was like no other Myrddraal.

So, he can see residues of weaves, which implies that he can also see active weaves to an extent. (Can't distinguish separate flows, though.) However, it would be easy to surmise a weave placed on the brain would be some sort of Compulsion.

Where once was Shadow
Now reigns Light
Darkness fades
Into the Night

I made the switch!

Are you trying to say that two people compelled her? - 02/11/2009 04:05:43 PM 614 Views

What interests me most about this situation is How did SH know that Elza had compulsion? - 03/11/2009 08:34:07 AM 473 Views

It was Verin who Compelled her, and either the Wards failed or Shaidar Haran nullified them. - 03/11/2009 12:15:43 PM 656 Views
Can SH nullify weaves that are tied off though? - 03/11/2009 05:05:48 PM 533 Views
