Re: Yes, really Skeeve the Great Send a noteboard - 06/02/2010 11:48:14 PM
While I sorta agree with you that what Rand did was very impressive, I must disagree with you here.

The text strongly suggests that what Rand does, is create a single weave on his hands and this single weave (composed of two flows, earth and fire) then creates all the arrow-filaments that Rand uses.


I don't think so. As such stated in the book, Arrows were flowing from each Rand's finger, as soon as they leave the fingers, the other ones are formed. It's basically the same as throwing fireballs, one weave at the time. Only in smaller scale and much faster.

Perhaps the key is that Gawyn is an even more simplistic thinker than Galad. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 06:20:06 AM 1247 Views
