Re: I'm somewhat surprised objects have threads. Shishka Send a noteboard - 05/01/2010 09:23:06 PM
Then again, they'd have to, since otherwise time wouldn't flow in places where there are no living things... Confusing, a bit.


It seems you equate "time flow" with "threads", which I'm not sure I understand.

Regardless though, when we see the Brown Ajah section of the WT switch places with the Novice section, we see physical objects (wall stones, floor tiles, tapestries, etc.) MOVE with respect to other objects. And it's hard for me to imagine how that could occur (given my admittedly limited understanding of what the Pattern actually is) if those objects didn't have threads.

Anyway, as to balefire affecting objects, I'm pretty sure it doesn't - we have several examples of balefiring objects and the things on top of them falling to the ground, such as Rand against Rahvin (The Threads Burn) or Jeaine Caide wielding that balefire ter'angreal in the Panarch's Palace (Into the Palace). If objects were balefired back in time, those things would already be on the ground.


By "affecting", I guess you mean that balefire doesn't cause objects to cease to exist backwards in time. I'd have to go back and read the examples you cited to be sure, but I assume you're right about them. Seems a bit odd that object threads would react differently to balefire than living threads, but if that's the way it is, who am I to argue?

Maybe you cannot invert compulsion? Datakim - 06/01/2010 06:56:35 PM 800 Views
so it's the one and only thing we've seen that can't be inverted? seems a little darius_sedai - 06/01/2010 11:31:09 PM 715 Views
