Rand's illness in channeling

[PrinceOfRavens]

well i was listening to the audio books, when something triggered a bell in me.

 

Flinn was healing Rand's side and sealed the two wounds away from his body away, He said to the sisters,

 

''It will not last''

 

Maybe the increasing illness is not just him, maybe its the healing of flin that is weakening, of course we knew it could be from his sides, but maybe if flinn does seal them away again he might be able to channel normally.

 

Sorry if this has been brought up...

The illness Rand experiences is a result of his link to Moridin formed by the crossed streams of Balefire. My guess is that the illness was caused by imprefect perceptions of another persons reality resulting in nausia--but in any case we do know that when Rand prefectly percieves Moridin he doesn't experience the dizziness.

 

Additionally, it is the most probable reason behind the reiteration of the 'no-kill' order by Moridin.

My interpertation of the "No-Kill" order was because of his link to Rand. He could be afraid that if he dosen't sever the link before Rand dies it could kill him as well.

Thats pretty much what i meant, yeah.

[aussie_ashaman123]

you know, neither of those ever occured to me. i thought it was taint sickness. Both are viable, ill admit that, i always thought the no-kill order in rand was so moradin got the pleasure of it

[Luckers]

Yeah, I wavered between the two interpretations till KoD when Rand specifically links the illness with the appearence of Moridin's face.

[slayerA]

OK, then when Min has a viewing that she sees two men and one dies I assume that was LTT, but it is Moridin then?

[Luckers]

We don't know. It could be either though i fall on the side of Moridin... Min herself expresses doubts when Rand so blutnly believes its Lews Therin, and RJ has a thing for undercutting blind assumptions like that.

[Guest Dreadlord]

Yep, I reckon it was Moridin as well. Did Min ever discribe the man in the viewing?

[Luckers]

Nah--and to be fair it could still be LTT, it certainly fits with reintergration--but i think not, especially given Rand's blind belief that it does.
