Hold on now.... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 02/02/2010 11:51:32 PM
Surely Nynaeve would have noticed if the Compulsion started dissipating while she was delving him. Why would Graendal want to make it dissappear after delving? Rand would be on the lookout for Compulsion, so trying to hide it would just make him more suspicious. Besides, even removing simple compulsion will create side effects - look what happened to Elza.


Why would Graendal want to make it dissappear after delving? How about the lack of an evidence trail. As per the removal of simple compulsion and its side effects....we're talking Graendal here. She is the only one in the entire series who is regarded as having a *Talent* for Compulsion. Even the other Forsaken know and acknoweldge this. To underestimate her ability with it is foolish. Do you honestly think that Graendal couldn't make a specific Compulsion weave which would do what she wanted, and then dissipate and have no affects afterwards?


So you want me to believe that Graendal made a weave that hasn't even been hinted at yet, that breaks the rules of compulsion and provides no advantages over normal compulsion? This theory makes even less sense than Graendal predicting Rand would balefire her.


So are you saying that those Deathgate weaves were impossible until Rand/LT busted them out? Creating a whole new weave that the reader hasn't seen before has never been an issue before. Why now?

My theory never said that Graendal had to predict Rand balefiring her. I never said it even once. Instead I said that what would precipitate her leaving was being found out. Each and every female Forsaken has hidden and worked from that vantage point. Something that the men rarely do (Demandred & Asmodean being the exceptions). If all of a sudden, after years of hiding, she's found out....what do you think that she would do? Get out of dodge.

So your name is Graendal.... Jeordam - 01/02/2010 09:18:00 PM 1698 Views
one of the reasons I'm at a loss with her death ... along with the lead-up being clumsy *NM* darius_sedai - 01/02/2010 09:36:29 PM 725 Views
She very well... Jeordam - 01/02/2010 11:13:50 PM 1013 Views
Exactly how I feel ... to the letter! *NM* darius_sedai - 01/02/2010 11:17:57 PM 585 Views

Ha! "Graendal actually kills Asmodean". A very bold claim. *NM* Etzel - 02/02/2010 10:51:40 AM 622 Views
Bold like saying that water is wet.... Jeordam - 02/02/2010 05:46:54 PM 652 Views
I am now split with a 80% belief it's Graendal and 20% that it's Moghedien *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/02/2010 06:11:47 PM 405 Views
Moghedien.... Jeordam - 02/02/2010 06:15:41 PM 744 Views

Egwene was faintly forkrooted, not heavily. Fanatic-Templar - 02/02/2010 10:24:55 PM 698 Views
It was heavy enough to nullify her ability almost completely by TGS RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/02/2010 10:38:04 PM 619 Views
That's still extremely faint. Fanatic-Templar - 02/02/2010 11:07:10 PM 700 Views

Well, I completely disagree, but that's another discussion. *NM* Etzel - 02/02/2010 07:07:05 PM 385 Views
Yes, I agree. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/02/2010 03:26:13 PM 537 Views
As bad as Sammael's death. *NM* Kieran - 03/02/2010 02:00:02 AM 389 Views
The lead up was clumsy because her death scene was rather forced. Libby - 09/02/2010 11:11:21 PM 853 Views
Yes, pretty much. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/02/2010 11:21:31 PM 766 Views
Couple of flaws in that reasoning Lord Haart - 02/02/2010 07:56:35 AM 1023 Views

Kind of Lord Haart - 03/02/2010 04:10:04 AM 758 Views
I disagree. Gher - 03/02/2010 05:31:39 AM 625 Views
But how many previously unseen weaves have had such huge implications? Lord Haart - 03/02/2010 01:29:15 PM 904 Views
Two things come to mind... Jeordam - 03/02/2010 03:50:38 PM 821 Views
I don't really think this is relevant Sareitha Sedai - 03/02/2010 05:03:51 PM 734 Views
There's a difference.... Jeordam - 03/02/2010 06:01:30 PM 766 Views
I know there is. You're the one who brought up the weaves being picked apart Sareitha Sedai - 03/02/2010 06:37:40 PM 764 Views

I think we disagree with what "subtle" means here. Sareitha Sedai - 03/02/2010 07:46:20 PM 665 Views
