Kind of disagree. Gher Send a noteboard - 15/01/2010 01:37:42 AM
would tie-up nearly ever available channeler to make more than a handful. How many people will have the skill that Egwene has? 100? Then there is the forging time involved on top of the channeler time ... and the fact that even very strong channelers wear out rather quickly ... so what you can at best produce a few a day if you sucked up every available smith and channeler.

Conceptually it's fine, but trying to make it work realistically seems impossible.


The Asha'man are inventing all kinds of make-work tasks to force their recruits along, why not have them actually productive, at least the ones who are shown to have the cuendillar 'Talent'?

That's assuming that men's affinity for earth translates into skill with producing Cuendillar. If that's not the case, then yeah, completely infeasible.

But I doubt if we see it in the books. Maybe, maybe Aludra's Dragon storyline will involve her experimenting with Cuendillar lofting tubes. But I doubt we see any cuendillar weaponry.

Cuendillar and Perpetual Gateways Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 03:32:15 PM 1789 Views
I'm still not sure if cuendillar would be "destroyed" or "remain" RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 03:55:00 PM 996 Views
well I think you've discovered something even more important darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 05:00:11 PM 1001 Views
I love it... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:23:59 PM 879 Views
exactly! *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 06:50:19 PM 420 Views
Quick question ... Yondaime - 15/01/2010 01:34:21 AM 969 Views
No - cuendillar just gets stronger the more powerful a force you use against it RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/01/2010 07:55:34 PM 895 Views

Wasn't the consensus... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:04:50 PM 994 Views
Really? Gher - 14/01/2010 05:30:40 PM 907 Views
Re: Really? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:52:45 PM 827 Views
Alright. Gher - 14/01/2010 06:25:27 PM 840 Views
Even so... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:30:35 PM 917 Views
Not sure, but the discussion might be saved somewhere (maybe in my e-mail somehow) RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 07:12:42 PM 1043 Views
Lack of Creativity / Flame Nargs - 14/01/2010 07:31:32 PM 1003 Views

let's do some quick math to see how feasible this is... darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 12:16:02 AM 789 Views
Again, Lack of Creativity Nargs - 15/01/2010 12:54:01 AM 825 Views
right cause they are full of new ideas in WoT! darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 12:57:52 AM 780 Views
Huh? Are you saying that... Nargs - 15/01/2010 01:49:23 AM 838 Views
It's not just a matter of creativity Gher - 15/01/2010 03:42:38 AM 918 Views
Are you trying to be funny? Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:22:18 AM 883 Views
I think what people are saying to you (at least what I am saying) darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:58:31 PM 981 Views
What I am telling you all (at least telling you) Nargs - 15/01/2010 08:12:32 PM 791 Views
I disagree with part of that darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:17:30 PM 1403 Views
The vast majority of WoT folk aren't particularly innovative darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:02:52 PM 804 Views
Pretty much. I think their religion is not doing anything helpful with the Power. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/01/2010 09:13:49 PM 773 Views
Mail is obviously out of the question... Gher - 15/01/2010 12:54:32 AM 882 Views
realistically the timeframes involved to make even the shields darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 01:03:30 AM 967 Views
Kind of disagree. Gher - 15/01/2010 01:37:42 AM 848 Views
We agree... maybe? Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:27:32 AM 877 Views
both darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:00:26 PM 777 Views
Please explain Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:29:29 AM 865 Views
not saying mail... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:33:06 PM 896 Views
hey look! someone with creativity! Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:30:29 AM 970 Views
Cuendillar dragons are great... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:45:12 PM 879 Views
Create a ter'angreal that can open gateways wherever it is pointed and triggered. Gher - 14/01/2010 04:59:28 PM 841 Views
Maybe this was one of the violent games played for sport during The Collapse *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:14:05 PM 378 Views
Without a doubt *NM* Gher - 14/01/2010 05:26:42 PM 379 Views
Or they could just tie the gateway weave off, like Sammael did in CoS, and Rand did in KoD... Shannow - 14/01/2010 07:11:56 PM 1017 Views
Thanks; I thought this was the case but couldnt recall the sections. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 07:13:32 PM 788 Views
True... I forgot... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:18:25 PM 912 Views
Tied-off weaves dont last forever Nargs - 14/01/2010 07:39:53 PM 837 Views
No... Shannow - 14/01/2010 07:48:38 PM 893 Views
Correct. Q&A answer below regarding this. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:08:02 PM 933 Views

Refrigerators and aqueducts and more... Air Conditioning! Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:49:12 PM 905 Views
Is a gateway fixed in place? Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:55:20 PM 871 Views
Why would this mean that the gateway weave doesn't need to be maintained? *NM* Lord Haart - 17/01/2010 03:22:58 PM 372 Views
Because even if it wasn't tied off, it'd get stuck around the cuendillar doorway, unable to close. *NM* Gher - 22/01/2010 09:07:34 PM 367 Views
But RJ said that cuendillar could not pass into a gateway, didn't he? Lord Haart - 23/01/2010 11:53:35 AM 755 Views
I'm not exactly sure what you mean... Gher - 24/01/2010 09:47:20 PM 844 Views
