Yeah, so context is key. If an injury has already been fully healed, it can't be healed again. So say, I heal you, but I do a shitty job of it. I failed to set the bone, and when I healed you, the bone healed of kilter, and now your skin and bone are all just.. wrong. You can't heal that, because the body is already healed. Now let's say there's someone who's severely injured. They have 35 stab wounds. Alannah comes up, and heals a few of stab wounds, but is quickly drained. Someone else can take over, and heal the rest of the wounds, because they're still injured. Mat's "injury" from the dagger, was like Cancer. Moiraine "Healed" his "cancer", but it was only temporary. So when he got to the Tower, they were able to "heal" his Cancer fully. Same with Rand's wounds. It was an ongoing, continual wound. Siuan being unstilled. Well, she can't ever be brought back to her full power, because she was healed "wrong". Just like a bone that was set wrong. The only way to maybe fix it. Is to break it again, and try to reset that bone.

That is something that would work, DM let's you do a search by author & tag. Also, I did want to show this - I found it interesting. This might be the closest you'll get to ISO? With the caveat, it still does this after page 3. If I put the title in the search bar, in the topic -> Note, I only return 474 results -> There should be 2.8k. If I then click an author -> This actually narrows it down to 31 posts from that user. But obviously... the search is failing to return all the results for some reason.

To account for Inflation, just look at House of the Dragon as an example. They had a $200M budget for 10 episodes -> or $20M per episode for the first season. This aligns with its prior GoT seasons growing budget starting at around $10M per episode, and ending around $15M in 2019. Toss in 2-5 years of Inflation, and increased demand across the industry and... Yeah.

Devils Advocate, why are we hung up on him "cheating" on Egwene? They broke up in Season 1, right? In Season 2, he hooked up with Selene. He broke off that toxic relationship with Selene. He was then forced to be close to Egwene in the sense that they were traveling together for a few months and during that time they decided that they guess? they were a thing again.. maybe? But were they ever actually... Together? The few moments of intimacy we saw Rand tried to have with Egwene, she pulled away. (Because of Lanfears manipulation) They try to kiss? She turns her head. They try to lay together, she turns over. Rand was being isolated in his interpersonal relationships because of Lanfear. Listen to their conversation in S3E1? There's no communication, there's no intimacy there. Egwene is so wrapped up in her own suffering and trauma, that she has no idea about what Rand is going through at all. Rand is staring 10 miles away, looking madness in the eye as he's constantly combatting the addictive death that is Saidin that is just at the edge of his finger tips, waiting there for him, every waking second of the day. And then there's Lanfear, waiting for him every night. With Kind Words, and a warm touch. To take away his troubles, pain, and isolation.

Sounds to me like Lanfear was trying use her manipulation tactics to make Rand Codependent on her. 😉

I don't think this is a thing? Otherwise when Moiraine initially treated Mat, he would never have been able to have been treated in Tar Valon. Likewise, when Rand's wound was treated, he would never have been able to have had his wound treated again by others. (Note: His unhealing wound, wouldn't heal because of other reasons) Depending on the weave and the extent of the injury, you may well kill them anyways if you're using battle healing... as that weave basically accelerates the persons natural healing. (Which is why they become ravenously hungry). There's a reference in the Wiki that battle healing is the only kind of healing that treats wounds inflicted by Thakan'dar-wrought blades. (Myrddraal blades) while the other healing from AOL didn't, and that's why the healing used by the Tower became the predominant style. Though they never did state if the version Nynaeve uses can heal wounds inflicted by Thakan'dar blades, as it's implied I believe by one of the Forsaken that she rediscovered the original healing weaver used during the AoLs. Egwene had no talent for healing what's so ever.... but she was apparently good enough to impress the Yellow Ajah. So take that as you will. I'd have to read the section in TDR, but I'm almost positive when Rand attempts to heal death, all the child's wounds and broken bones are healed in the process, but the meat puppet and one power driven CPR wouldn't do anything. I'd say a lot of this falls onto... stuff happens off screen, or in the case with the Kid, Rand just saw himself as a Destroyer rather than a Creator. The specific talent for healing in the book, may well be a specific type of delving, that you just have to have a type of talent for in order for your healing to be the most effective at. How do you heal a hole in the heart if you can't delve into the body and feel that there's a hole in the heart?

That's not what we were shown. The show makes it clear that, as noted, Rand is fully aware that he's dreaming of and interacting with the real Lanfear. If she were entering his dreams uninvited, such would not be the case. Yes he's aware during the dream, that doesn't mean she's incapable of intruding in on him during his dream, which is what Skipp said. Lanfear is able to waltz into his dream, whether he's aware he's dreaming or not, whether she's invited or uninvited. That was the point of that scene with Egwene in Episode 8. He needed her help to expel Lanfear from his Dream.

On that front, I think we only have to look at Domestic Abuse stats to see that 97% (women) leave their partner and return multiple times, while only 67% leave and returned once. Now obviously, we can apply the same thing for Egwene when it comes to failing to talk about Lanfear (Domestic Violence) in her dreams with Rand. But I think if people are going to forgive Egwene for failing to talk about Lanfear's abuse in her Dreams, they have to forgive Rand for failing to communicate about Lanfear's grooming of Rand as well. (also a form of emotional abuse)

These two are related. Egwene barely talked about her traumatic dreams about Renna with Rand. From a relationship angle, any time they attempted to get intimate, she would pull away. (This was by Lanfear's design). From Rand's perspective, Egwene's been pulling away from Rand, Physically and Emotionally for... Months. And then in his Dreams, who's there for him physically and emotionally? (Lanfear). Rand and Egwene have been effectively "broken up" since they left Tar Valon, they just never... said the words, because they don't talk, and they don't communicate. Had they communicated, Rand would have Learned from Egwene a LOT earlier.. that Lanfear was screwing with her Dreams... Had he learned about that, he would have confronted Lanfear in his own dreams a LOT earlier, and then Egwene may never have ever learned that Rand was having his "dream fling" with Lanfear... Course, Rand may well have Died in his sleep. Ultimately though, from a relationship standpoint. Rand/Egwene are in their Early twenties. Did Egwene actually believe Rand was going to be her one and only true love for the rest of her life? Or did she just want her cake and eat it to? It takes a special kind of love for one another, for two people to accept each others Traumas, specially in your Twenties... to get through a rough patch of limited emotional and physical intimacy as you work through your Trauma so you can be emotionally and physically intimate again. Neither Egwene or Rand are ready for that right now... Specially not with the Gaslighting Queen of the Dark Lanfear actively interfering in both their lives, and making their traumas worse. Tldr: For everyone reading this. OMG a bunch of 20 something year olds, acting like a bunch of 20 somethings when they aren't communicating and being physically intimate and start doing stupid shit because they're young dumb and full of stupid.

When I watched that scene, I did consider that maybe that was Lanfear posing as Moiraine. Because what happens next? We get Lanfear's meeting with Rand. Rand Betrays' Lanfear, Egwene shunts her out, and Moiraine, Rand, Egwene and Company expect Lanfear to Attack... Then they all go running off to Alcair Dal... If Moiraine had captured Sammael... why didn't she bring him along... in a box and instead leave him behind in a cave, unguarded? Also, we literally do see Lanfear in that same camp, dressed as a Maiden. So it's not impossible for her to have been there. And, if she had tossed ol' Sammy into T'A'R, it wouldn't even be a stretch for show viewers to think she could look like someone else... since she literally did that in Season 2.

*Admin Hat* Yeah.... so it turns out that behind the scenes, the DM Mafia Games subforum, was the one and only subforum on ALL of DM that had guest permissions to post. Elder Haman, managed to delete the two guest posts before I got to them this morning. I've fixed that permission so that shouldn't happen again.

Careful, if @Clovdyx catches wind of this fact, he might want you to call him the energizer bunny.

I'm not convinced that half of the current game isn't already not all ChatGPT bots.

Yes, but also, you're just worried it'll take yer jerb. (Meaning counting posts in mafia lolol)
