Weaves, their component Powers, and their proportions

[Stableboy of Baerlon]

Hi all.  Forgive me if this is the wrong place for this question, but I'm engaging on a WoT-related academic pursuit of sorts, and past experience led me here as a good place to start a line of inquiry.

 

My question is this: are there any good resources out there in the fandom pulling together canonical references to the specific Powers used to make specific Weaves, and the rough proportions of Powers used?  IE some resource that has gone through the books looking for lines like "Moiraine arched her perfect little eyebrow and intoned mysteriously,'Fireballs use mostly Fire, but also a teensy smidge of Air.'"  I've done some searching and haven't come up with anything, and I KNOW there are references in the text like this for at least a handful of Weaves.  (I know that this info certainly doesn't exist for all of them, but surely a handful.)

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. And hey, if you happen to know off the top of your head what the Powers and amounts used in Traveling are, or whatever, feel free to chip that in :-)

 

Thanks!

I recall some member linking to such a page.  Do not remember the link nor the thread nor the member.

Here's a partial list:

to Tron:  I think the original poster was looking for something else.

About Traveling; I recall some scene telling that saidar ones use just Spirit and some other scene telling that saidin ones use Spirit + Fire.  Do not remember the exact references or the exact scenes.

Hey, thanks Tron--that list is a good starting point,  I see it has a few indications of Powers used (mostly Lews Therin's 'lost weaves') though not a ton for the most common weaves.  Thanks for the input!  And thanks to mb too. :-)

In all my geekiness I've made of all weaves listed and which of the 5 Powers is used. Also, Theo's more than one way to do some of the weaves. Remember Healing?
