No, Balefire Does Not Work Like that. (-- 2009 Empy Award Winner!)

I think my earlier reply (#471) has a quote where RJ explains the details on how those things work.

I would suggest this is the wrong thread for discussions on Balefire and the paradoxes it can cause. I doubt it is possible to give a Simple Answer about Balefire. There is an entire thread discussing this issue and perhaps that is a more appropriate place for detailed discussions on Balefire.  ;D

Somewhere it was told that the Dark One could resurrect someone from very weak balefire.

I suspect the balefire's time would need to be 0 (of any time unit); would this be accurate?

This thread was created by a moderator, the other threads about balefire were not.  To me moderator created threads would be more appropriate than other threads about the topic.

I do not recall anyone making such a claim.  Part of the reason balefire is discussed might be that it is complex.

Basically consider Balefire as burning someone's thread, that's ultimately all it really does.  It burns a thread, which in itself is definitely harmful, but the more powerful burns it further back.

This thread couldn't have done it without me contributing... whatever it is I contributed. Something amazing, no doubt.
