Here's what I would have done... Shannow Send a noteboard - 15/11/2009 02:45:32 PM

..a few days after reading it I still had the urge to tear the page out of the book! But Rand's logic really does make sense. Graendal is smarter than him. He needs to seize any advantage he has immediately. How would you have stopped Graendal in Rand's shoes?

RJ has said that there are weaves that can be used on a battlefield to interfere with the creation of gateways. He hinted very strongly that we would see some of them later in the series.

It seems likely that Demandred is the person who will introduce them to us, during the battles of Tarmon Gaidon.

Now, Rand has apparently mastered all of Lews Therin's knowledge. Therefore, I would think he would be equally skilled in battlefield weaves.

What I would have done, with the Choedan Kal, is weave a massive gateway blocking sphere around Graendal's palace, preventing her from Travelling from the place.

Then I would have burst in there and assaulted it in full force. Graendal would be trapped, and Rand would not have needed to balefire the entire place.

Disagree Sidious - 15/11/2009 08:14:28 PM 583 Views

What if he makes multiple gateways at the same time? Shannow - 15/11/2009 08:21:48 PM 579 Views

I agree. *NM* fionwe1987 - 15/11/2009 08:50:54 PM 240 Views

You're ignoring a key sentence... fionwe1987 - 15/11/2009 09:58:03 PM 617 Views

Re: You're ignoring a key sentence... Sidious - 16/11/2009 06:47:47 AM 583 Views

The issue is that it is easier to make a gateway than to block one - individually. Shannow - 15/11/2009 10:04:22 PM 610 Views

I don't think so Sidious - 16/11/2009 07:12:05 AM 725 Views

Problem is... Shannow - 16/11/2009 07:45:41 AM 558 Views

Here's the way he should have done it... fionwe1987 - 15/11/2009 06:19:18 PM 538 Views

I don't think I would put too much faith in that.... Light in the Night - 15/11/2009 09:32:22 PM 550 Views

Moghedien and Cyndane didn't attack Graendal, in fact... Shannow - 15/11/2009 09:36:03 PM 684 Views

That wasn't what I said.... Light in the Night - 16/11/2009 12:42:53 AM 514 Views
