There's nothing in those quotes that even touches on who killed Asmodean. Rand al'Thor Send a noteboard - 11/11/2009 06:40:31 PM
The only thing that is discussed is how far back the effects of balefire go. There's no definitive discussion on ANYthing else.

Notice something about Sanderson's comments. He said, 'let's say that the CK makes Rand 100x more powerful'. He's not saying it DOES - that's just his supposition. That's beautiful Aes Sedai misdirection.

---

Extending that thought further then...

Why can't the CK make Rand more like 10,000x more powerful? That's always the order of magnitude I was imagining based on the descriptions in the book... for the strongest sa'angreal ever made? When an 'average' sa'angreal raises the user's ability above that of an angreal to the same order of magnitude that an 'average' angreal does over using no enhancement?

With that in mind, the existence of multiple sa'angreal multiplying your power 250x becomes extremely likely. 100x is certainly nothing special for a sa'angreal... and when you consider that these CK were considered 'too strong to ever be used', able to fight the Dark One (or the CREATOR, by Lanfear!), and able to crack the world in half... 100x Rand's power just doesn't fit the description.

10,000 times 30 minutes of Rand back-tracking is approximately 200 days. This isn't a proof that this happened, of course, but a proof of concept. If we can reach back in the vicinity of a year, then anything is still possible. And nothing Sanderson said ruled it out... all he addressed was a very limited 'what if'.

Sanderson eliminates a particular somebody from consideration as Asmodean's killer - 11/11/2009 05:18:48 PM 1641 Views
He didn't say if she did or did not. - 11/11/2009 05:27:34 PM 624 Views
I definately did not see conclusive evidence; in fact... - 11/11/2009 05:32:20 PM 691 Views
Yes, Brandon did. I edited my original message to add in another quote from Brandon...see above *NM* - 11/11/2009 05:33:27 PM 331 Views
That still doesn't say if she did or did not. - 11/11/2009 05:39:12 PM 597 Views
It eliminates for the following - 11/11/2009 05:44:29 PM 631 Views
That's quite a leap of logic... - 11/11/2009 06:31:21 PM 738 Views

You make a faulty assumption - 11/11/2009 08:06:52 PM 645 Views
NO! - 11/11/2009 09:07:39 PM 553 Views

Er? I think you're reading it wrong. - 11/11/2009 06:32:17 PM 565 Views
I can't follow your logic - 11/11/2009 06:33:41 PM 520 Views

I'm sorry but you are terribly wrong. - 11/11/2009 08:34:56 PM 554 Views
That is a fallacious leap of logic. - 11/11/2009 06:50:13 PM 570 Views
Yes, but... - 11/11/2009 07:49:39 PM 542 Views
That is still erroneous. - 11/11/2009 08:10:15 PM 525 Views
your interpretation is wrong - 11/11/2009 05:47:53 PM 584 Views

I repeat, your interpretation is wrong. - 11/11/2009 08:15:43 PM 560 Views
I generally agree... - 11/11/2009 06:11:46 PM 645 Views

But do you agree that Graendal cannot reveal herself if she got balefired? *NM* - 11/11/2009 08:07:53 PM 303 Views
Sure she can reveal herself! Even if she got Balefired! - 11/11/2009 08:52:49 PM 610 Views
this is what happens when you get interrupted in the middle of a post *NM* - 11/11/2009 09:28:01 PM 289 Views
What? Did you double post? - 11/11/2009 09:49:15 PM 497 Views
According to Etzel, this is impossible - 12/11/2009 04:14:47 AM 544 Views
Why is it impossible? You can't have parallel timelines? *NM* - 12/11/2009 11:29:45 AM 277 Views
I don't say it's impossible... - 12/11/2009 03:11:17 PM 544 Views
This was done in the series before... - 12/11/2009 03:40:58 PM 489 Views

that proved nothing. *NM* - 11/11/2009 10:46:15 PM 256 Views

Not so suspicious if he's read some fan reactions/theories. - 12/11/2009 11:48:30 AM 516 Views
Which he clearly said he did and LOL'd at. *NM* - 18/11/2009 11:33:58 PM 280 Views
Maybe I missed something. - 12/11/2009 03:02:59 PM 497 Views
Yeah, BS will reveal it either in ToM or AMoL. *NM* - 12/11/2009 03:12:16 PM 231 Views
