I'm intrigued by this ter'angreal in the shape of a ring with a black stone in the middle. Once you put a drop of your blood on it, the ter'angreal...

- gives you strength and speed
- allows you to hide
- slowly saps your life and kills you

Let's hear your opinion on these ter'angreal..

1. These things seem particularly malevolent. Do you think they are ter'angreal from the AOL which are being used incorrectly, or were they designed for this purpose?

2. Do you think the Seanchan can make these ter'angreal, or do they have a stash of say a hundred rings which they use for the highest priority missions?

3. What do you think of a person's blood linking their life force to a ter'angreal? What is RJ's message regarding a person's blood and their life force or soul? Do you think these ter'angreal link to the bloodknives like Callandor's warding was linked to Rand?

4. What further purpose do you see for these bloodknives in the series?


I think they are being used for their original purpose. the hiding in the shadows aspect is the prominent feature. a channeler may be able to activate it another way but since the death is so close to the activation i'm pretty sure it's a purposeful feature.

I think linking to blood is a pretty straightforward way to let the ter'angreal no who to affect. Nynaeve already has shown that objects and materials store impressions. blood is something that would have the most impression of your self. I do think the barrier for Callandor was made in a similar fashion using LTT's personal effects with his "impression" on them.

I'm guessing they don't think of the a'dam as a ter'angreal... Legolas - 05/11/2009 03:18:11 PM 576 Views

I'm led to believe that they are a one-time use thing Yvves - 07/11/2009 11:46:19 PM 449 Views
that presumes that people will know the ter'angreal is the ring. Perhaps only the royals know that *NM* Onarishma - 08/11/2009 08:48:04 AM 179 Views
