Yes, but limits--can still be re-spun and some balefire may not work LordScimitar Send a noteboard - 08/11/2009 03:41:52 AM
They cannot be revived by the DO.

However, there is no indication they won't be respun, and every indication they will be.

Also, at one time, a Q & A session with RJ implied that the DO had a limited time to use his power to reclaim someone's soul.

And since balefire back-killed people, he had even less time, and thus could miss his chance because there was even less time. Plus he needed appropriate bodies and didn't just keep them on hand.

That left a theoritical loophole--someone like Moiraine, who had very weak balefire, could balefire someone that the DO could still bring back.

But, since Be'lal never came back, it seems that maybe that isn't the case.

It's the 're-spun' part that bothers me. - 08/11/2009 04:37:08 AM 550 Views

balefire doesn't keep you from being respun. - 13/11/2009 09:16:27 AM 545 Views

I maintain that my first impression and my rereading it did not cause me to question how it works - 13/11/2009 09:41:20 AM 458 Views

no he said the person dies "before" the DO's know's they are gone. - 23/11/2009 02:15:11 AM 423 Views

Yes, that's always been my opinion as well. - 08/11/2009 10:23:16 PM 470 Views
