Can SH nullify weaves that are tied off though? Matrimony Cauthon Send a noteboard - 03/11/2009 05:05:48 PM
I am not sure SH can. Why would he have asked Semirhage to remove the compulsion from Elza rather than nullifying it if he had that power?

It seems more likely that SH can only cut people off from the source. I could be wrong, of course. But if I am right, it begs the next question: Who undid the weaves?


Verin compelled each of the Aes Sedai she visited to find their own reason to swear fealty to the Dragon Reborn. Said that pretty explicitly in book 11, IIRC. Elza did so to keep Rand alive and well until the last battle, because she was one who felt it was necessary that Rand die AT THE LAST BATTLE for the Dark One to win. After compulsion was gone, she was half a zombie with glassy eyes, and it didn't take much for one of the Chosen to say 'no no no you pathetic worm, if we kill him now, it's just as good as him dying at the Last Battle.'

Apart from that, either the wards (or traps) Cadsuane left on her box failed (less likely) or Shaidar Haran got close, and nullified them (as we know him to be able to wink out the One Power whenever he's near, so most likely.)

Are you trying to say that two people compelled her? - 02/11/2009 04:05:43 PM 600 Views

What interests me most about this situation is How did SH know that Elza had compulsion? - 03/11/2009 08:34:07 AM 458 Views
Here's what we do know about SH in that regard - 03/11/2009 10:57:15 AM 586 Views
It was Verin who Compelled her, and either the Wards failed or Shaidar Haran nullified them. - 03/11/2009 12:15:43 PM 618 Views
