Another stupid question

[algspkr]

In The Great Hunt Fain nails a Myrddraal to a door alive. I get the impression that the Myrddraal was well off the ground. How did Fain achieve this?

Trollocs? :?:

Cause Fain is one bad dude. And seeing as how the Myrdraal feared Shadar Logoth, they would probably fear Fain, so he could probably do whatever he wanted to the Mydraal. Nail 'em to a door.... hoist it up.... whatever..

If you nail something to another thing, I think it makes sense that it is off the ground.

when u said how did he do it did u mean in reference to heights? or as in literally how? the 2nd ones been discussed before from memory, but if u mean with fain being short and myddraal being tall....maybe he got a trolloc to pick him up so he could reach:P

That is what I was asking, and I that is the only thing I could come up with.

We saw that he can at least create illusions when he made Rand see Rochaid and Torval in WH, so maybe he has some sort of power. Elayne, while she was training in Valan Lucas' show, created a platform of Air to protect herself while learning the tightrope, perharps Fain did something similar by making a little staircase of Air or something.

Impossible. One can't support one's self with the Power. It's like trying to lift yourself into the air with your arm. It's not going to happen.

 

I don't know what Elayne did during the tightrope thing, but that wasn't it.

[RobertAlexWillis]

She made a long, thin platform of Air anchored on both ends to the supports for the tightrope, which was wide enough to walk on.

You disorient me, since when can Fain channel?

 

Don't Forget, Free Tibet!

It, wouldn't be channeling, but he pretty much has all the power of Shadar Logoth at his disposal. I'm sure that something in all that could create illusions.

Actually, you can make a platform of Air to walk on, you just can't LIFT yourself with Air. Rand later makes a platform of Air to walk onto a Sea Folk ship with Min on his arm. It is indeed possible, my friend :)

[Zyrshnikashnu]

Jordan is obviously cheating, then. The Power has pretty funky rules. I'm a physics student, so I consider anything that opposes gravity to be lifting.

 

You're a cheater, sir!

Exactly. I hadn't meant to imply that he could channel, per se, but we saw Mordeth display some curious powers by (nevermind that he still lived, in whatever form, 2000 years after the rest of Aridhol had died) ballooning up to monstrous proportions before shrinking back down and squirting through a hole in the wall. He was almost like a golam. Whatever turned Mordeth into that is largely at Fain's command now. Whether or not that could explain how he elevated and nailed a myrdraal to the door or not, I guess I really can't say, but it's my best guess.

[SinisterDeath]

Was this mydraal scene before or after shadar logoth? I was thinking it was before.. but then it could be after he gets the dagger back.

[Zyrshnikashnu]

It occurs as Rand & co. travel out of Shienar in The Great Hunt.
