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 1572 Views
I'm still not sure if cuendillar would be "destroyed" or "remain" RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 03:55:00 PM 755 Views
well I think you've discovered something even more important darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 05:00:11 PM 789 Views
I love it... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:23:59 PM 662 Views
exactly! *NM* darius_sedai - 14/01/2010 06:50:19 PM 324 Views
Quick question ... Yondaime - 15/01/2010 01:34:21 AM 766 Views
No - cuendillar just gets stronger the more powerful a force you use against it RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/01/2010 07:55:34 PM 676 Views

Wasn't the consensus... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:04:50 PM 770 Views
Really? Gher - 14/01/2010 05:30:40 PM 670 Views
Re: Really? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:52:45 PM 634 Views
Alright. Gher - 14/01/2010 06:25:27 PM 614 Views
Even so... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:30:35 PM 697 Views
Not sure, but the discussion might be saved somewhere (maybe in my e-mail somehow) RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 07:12:42 PM 816 Views
Lack of Creativity / Flame Nargs - 14/01/2010 07:31:32 PM 736 Views

let's do some quick math to see how feasible this is... darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 12:16:02 AM 577 Views
Again, Lack of Creativity Nargs - 15/01/2010 12:54:01 AM 616 Views
right cause they are full of new ideas in WoT! darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 12:57:52 AM 581 Views
Huh? Are you saying that... Nargs - 15/01/2010 01:49:23 AM 620 Views
It's not just a matter of creativity Gher - 15/01/2010 03:42:38 AM 700 Views
Are you trying to be funny? Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:22:18 AM 667 Views
I think what people are saying to you (at least what I am saying) darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 07:58:31 PM 781 Views
What I am telling you all (at least telling you) Nargs - 15/01/2010 08:12:32 PM 574 Views
I disagree with part of that darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:17:30 PM 941 Views
The vast majority of WoT folk aren't particularly innovative darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:02:52 PM 592 Views
Pretty much. I think their religion is not doing anything helpful with the Power. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/01/2010 09:13:49 PM 560 Views
Mail is obviously out of the question... Gher - 15/01/2010 12:54:32 AM 680 Views
realistically the timeframes involved to make even the shields darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 01:03:30 AM 680 Views
Kind of disagree. Gher - 15/01/2010 01:37:42 AM 635 Views
We agree... maybe? Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:27:32 AM 659 Views
both darius_sedai - 15/01/2010 08:00:26 PM 566 Views
Please explain Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:29:29 AM 646 Views
not saying mail... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:33:06 PM 592 Views
hey look! someone with creativity! Nargs - 15/01/2010 09:30:29 AM 718 Views
Cuendillar dragons are great... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 06:45:12 PM 648 Views
Create a ter'angreal that can open gateways wherever it is pointed and triggered. Gher - 14/01/2010 04:59:28 PM 619 Views
Maybe this was one of the violent games played for sport during The Collapse *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 05:14:05 PM 285 Views
Without a doubt *NM* Gher - 14/01/2010 05:26:42 PM 290 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 813 Views
Thanks; I thought this was the case but couldnt recall the sections. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 07:13:32 PM 575 Views
True... I forgot... Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:18:25 PM 675 Views
Tied-off weaves dont last forever Nargs - 14/01/2010 07:39:53 PM 616 Views
No... Shannow - 14/01/2010 07:48:38 PM 685 Views
Correct. Q&A answer below regarding this. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/01/2010 09:08:02 PM 686 Views

Refrigerators and aqueducts and more... Air Conditioning! Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:49:12 PM 694 Views
Is a gateway fixed in place? Ashaman Narishma - 14/01/2010 07:55:20 PM 677 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 279 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 279 Views
But RJ said that cuendillar could not pass into a gateway, didn't he? Lord Haart - 23/01/2010 11:53:35 AM 560 Views
I'm not exactly sure what you mean... Gher - 24/01/2010 09:47:20 PM 639 Views
