Turn off the Rod balefried Send a noteboard - 02/12/2009 09:52:39 PM
Mesaana, being a teacher from the AoL, may have quite a bit of familiarity with the Rod. She may have turned it off with a flow of Spirit, or not put the flow in the correct place, instead of activating it when she took the Oaths in front of everyone. A power-woven disguise would do for the ageless look.

There has not ever been a visual discription of the Oaths settling upon someone. It is always described as a tightening of the skin, something settling down on her. I think Egwene and Co would be staring at the face of the person swearing, not where the flows went. A flow of Spirit somewhere on top of the ROd is enough. Or, maybe inverted other flows to do the same.

Mesaana was easily able to get past the Oath Rod. Tansu Targli - 01/12/2009 09:35:07 PM 1210 Views

I'm not convinced. I don't believe she'd want to subject herself to being sworn. lord-of-shadow - 01/12/2009 09:54:40 PM 735 Views
Not just that, but in the AoL, the Oath Rod was used to "bind criminals". *NM* Lord Haart - 02/12/2009 05:41:35 AM 270 Views

Didn't Sanderson say as much? *NM* Tom - 01/12/2009 10:06:56 PM 258 Views
I don't know what Sanderson may have said. *NM* Tansu Targli - 01/12/2009 10:13:58 PM 239 Views

To be honest, though, any Sister can defeat the Three Oaths. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/12/2009 10:37:29 PM 586 Views

Well, that's just one oath. The other two are not as easy to circumvent. BlackAdder - 02/12/2009 01:19:53 AM 671 Views
But given free will, they can interpret "danger" to mean "clear and present" or "potential danger" RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/12/2009 04:54:26 PM 496 Views
Last defense of life cannot mean potential danger. *NM* fionwe1987 - 02/12/2009 05:51:27 PM 211 Views
Yes it can. It all depends on interpretation. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/12/2009 12:22:47 AM 496 Views
Ummm, what? fionwe1987 - 03/12/2009 02:23:08 AM 435 Views

None of this is a twisting of the Oaths. Her actions stick to the letter of the Oaths. fionwe1987 - 04/12/2009 04:29:44 AM 569 Views

Here's a couple quotes from BS Light in the Night - 01/12/2009 11:57:16 PM 602 Views
Trouble is that would put a person into stasis Ryan - 02/12/2009 04:14:31 AM 479 Views
It only has to be maintained long enough to take the Oaths. *NM* Light in the Night - 02/12/2009 04:51:34 AM 222 Views
Eh, from what we've seen, Keepings don't really work like that beetnemesis - 02/12/2009 06:42:19 AM 623 Views
Probably just needs to be modified a bit Light in the Night - 02/12/2009 07:36:41 AM 598 Views
