Re: yep kcf Send a noteboard - 02/12/2009 04:44:32 PM

Not really in Aginor's case. I have a hard time believing that you can draw so much power you kill yourself without first burning out (or at least simultaneous death/burnout).


Well, we don't know this and no connection between the has really been made. Plus, I like Sidious' idea that due to Aginor's weakened body, it wasn't capable of handling the channeling he's used to and that's a good part of the reason why he died.

As for Lanfear's burnout/stilling then being healed. A couple of points.

1. Don't you think it would have wound up being mentioned by one of the FS women if she had to heal a saidar connection? We've had POVs from all the potential candidates and realistically Semirhage seems like the only one with the inherent Talent to pull off the Healing. Moghedien is noted to be ridiculously blind to areas of the Power which she had little ability or interest in, so your assumption that she would have picked up the weave in the rebel camp is thin. One of the Rebels is possible.


I agree, which is why I think a random BA probably did the healing. But we've seen plenty of omission from FS POV, so I don't think it's a huge barrier. As Etzel points out, when Moggy is mindtrapped, Moridin already has Cyndane's mindtrap, so she didn't do it.

2. Taking Siuan and Leane as examples Cyndane would be so weakend by being healed by a woman that she wouldn't be anywhere close to Forsaken strength, much less stronger than Graendal or able to fend off Alivia with *angreal (Siuan lost 2/3 of her strength) ... if you assume a 100pt scale, Cyndane would have dropped down from 100 to 33, making her more like a regular AS (ish).


This is an issue. I think that the weave the Nyn discovered has been improved upon - it's still imperfect, but just a bit better. We just don't know enough about how much of strenth drop is involved.

3. Cyndane specifically points out the connection to her lowered power and her time spent with the 'Finns. Seems like a big hint in there somewhere.


Of course she does - she was burned out/severed as she enters finnland and somehow she died there. it's all tied up together.

Anyway, while I don't think your theory is impossible, I also don't know that I would call it the most simple explanation!


Well, it's simpler than any other explanation I've seen.

I'm betting she decides to stay a non-channeler and put her past behind her. *NM* RandAllThor - 01/12/2009 11:09:32 PM 554 Views
I don't think Moiraine was stilled. Gher - 01/12/2009 11:19:03 PM 872 Views
what about Lan's bond kcf - 01/12/2009 11:23:35 PM 843 Views
I think that the doorway melting did that. Gher - 02/12/2009 12:49:02 AM 953 Views

Rand wasn't stilled when beetnemesis - 02/12/2009 06:48:42 AM 787 Views
The doorway melting and snapping the bond is simple enough for me *NM* Deadsy - 01/12/2009 11:24:07 PM 430 Views
as I said above, far too many assumptions in that idea *NM* kcf - 01/12/2009 11:27:12 PM 453 Views

I think that since Moiraine was in another dimension, the Bond passed to the closest holder. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/12/2009 11:43:15 PM 826 Views
but she'd been there before kcf - 01/12/2009 11:51:41 PM 925 Views
I don't understand why you think there are too many assumptions darius_sedai - 02/12/2009 12:57:50 AM 869 Views
Exactly. Thanks for translating in fewer words than I would have used *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/12/2009 04:21:06 PM 528 Views
that assumes quite a bit about the structure of the bond kcf - 02/12/2009 07:45:37 PM 853 Views
no more than the assumptions of the actions take on the other side of the door! darius_sedai - 03/12/2009 07:51:59 AM 902 Views

Maybe they put some of Ilyena in Cyndane. Joel - 04/12/2009 06:52:01 PM 879 Views
LOL ... Lanfear doesn't need Ilyena to be an LTT stalker! darius_sedai - 04/12/2009 07:09:02 PM 815 Views
Right, But Ilyena Doesn't Need Lanfear for That Either. The Name With No Man - 04/12/2009 07:17:29 PM 830 Views
I'm 99.99% sure RJ said that the DO had to grab a soul quickly after death or it was lost darius_sedai - 04/12/2009 09:13:18 PM 690 Views

Moiraine will make a huge difference to TG (Min's viewing) so I think she will need to channel. *NM* Lord Haart - 02/12/2009 05:38:03 AM 440 Views
