I reread what else the cleansing involved and the transferring the taint into the city of Shardar Logoth though evil I think Rand was cleaver to do because of his wounds from Ishamael and Padan Fain. I believe either Samitsu or Flinn mentioning that the two evils were fighting each other. tWoTC notes that though they repelled each other they were attracted to each other in such a way that they couldn't mix I believe was the effect of the two destroyed the city. The effect in Rand without the healings done by Cadsuane, Samitsu, and Flinn (who actually sealed them of from each other though he said it was only temporary.) I It's also interesting how the Eye of the World was created and how as it was done during the breaking. One could only make assumptions here as both men and women Aes Sedai created it and many died in the process. Obviously, it was done in a circle but what was the method that resulted in the untainted pool of Saidin. I going to assume a woman was leading or the men were not affected fully by the taint. Lastly, was it done in the way a channeler is turned meaning the med channeled through the women filtering out the taint. Just some thoughts on the subject.

I am sticking to information and it based on the tWoTC. I want to point out the last thread writer commented on what I wrote below. However, the official standings are as I wrote below and I corrected a few errors I made.

We need to stop mentioning the dead chosen and the captured damane Moggy. When Aliva becomes Aes Sedai she will be the top women in power in herself at 1(+12). Then Sharina Melloy potential is 2(+11) has the same potential as Talaan who is already 4(9+) with her reaching the level of 2(+11). Nyneave is currently 4(+9) with her potential going to 3(+10). Remember Siuan and Leane explained to Nyneave and Elayne how the hierarchy also is measured. Furthermore, the length of time of a sister the time as a Novice and Accepted and lastly, weather they were a wilder or not. Also, who or what entity put any sister in charge. However, to continue Egwene was forced to her potential of 8(+5) and Elayne's potential is the same ultimately being 8(+5) and it is been hinted that Bode Cauthon has the same Potential as Egwene and Elayne. If Nicola Treehill lived, she would've been the next with the potential of 9(+4) the is at Cadsuane 5(+8) then Aviendha was at a strength of 11(2) there is no information of her potential being higher. Also, Aviendha is said to be more dexterous concerning handling flows even more that Nyneave, Egwene, and Elayne. The Aiel wise one Eddarra is at 12(+2+) though she will not be Aes Sedai and same goes for Therava who channels at 12(+1).

Concerning Moiraine she is 66(54) however, based on her comment after being saved by Matt, Thom, and Noal the angreal she has would make her stronger or more powerful than her original level of 13(1) level which in the beginning she and Siuan stood the highest (just as Lelaine, Romanda, and Eliada.) Let's not forget Jancy and Elle who according to Verin would have high Potentials too. At this time Nyneave Sedai stands the highest and lastly, Cadsuane in the Amyrlin Seat so though she is in the upper levels her potential is meaningless.

I just wanted to point out that in tToM, Moiraine says Rand fixed what men had broken when Matt told her that Rand had cleansed Saidin of the taint. So this was part of the prophecies of the dragon.

I forgot that there are different weaves that can be used to accomplish what the channeler desires. Of course, there are different weaves used to achieve the desired effect. Moiraine thought of this when she was in her test for the shawl, she mention that there were several ways to make fire and she chose the easier one. Also, Aviendha was likely taught be Elayne different weaves like she learned to control the weather from Elayne who was taught be a windfinder. The argument that the wise ones were taught be the ancient Aes Sedai doesn't make sense especially when the Aiel lived in the desert and this weave and alternative way she used in putting out the fire she likely learned from Elayne as well as the weave she used in the chapter "the Death of Adrin."

We need to stop mentioning the dead chosen and the captured damane Moggy. When Aliva becomes Aes Sedai she will be the top women in power in herself at 1(+12). Then Sharena has the same potential as Talaan up to 2(+11). Nyneave is is currently 4(+9) with her potential going to 3(+10). Remember Siuan and Leane explained to Nyneave and Elayne how the hierarchy also is measured too be who spent the least time as a Novice and Accepted. Also, who or what entity put any sister in charge. However, to continue Egwene was forced to her Potential of 8(+5) and Elayne's Potential is the same 8(+5) and it is been hinted that Bode Cauthon has the same Potential as Egwene and Elayne. If Nicola Treehill lived she would've been the next with the Potential  Next is Cadsuane 5(+8) then Aviendha reached her strength of 11(2) already.

Concerning Moiraine she is 66(54) however, based on her comment after being saved by Matt, Tom, and Noal the angreal she has would make her stronger or more powerful than her 13(1) level which in the beginning she and Siuan stood the highest (just as Lelaine, Romanda, and Eliada.)

We know Rand used Mashadar to cleanse the taint.  This thread is to discuss other methods Rand might have used.

 

Methods I thought of::

-Open the Tower of Ghenjei then dispose the Taint into the world of the Aelfinn & Eelfinn.

-Do a Gateway to another world or to another dimension then dispose the Taint there.

-If the Eelfinn doorway still existed, he might have entered it and wished for the Taint to be cleansed.

-Turn the Taint into some kind of object then balefire the object.

-Same method he used but after having the rest of the captured Aes Sedia come along.

The last 3 would probably have the least problems with them, and the doorway method requiring the least effort.

 

That absurd, wrong on so many levels.

I think it was Lews Therin speaking. He had access to Rands memories. His response to her was very different from how the chosen referred to the modern day Aes Sedai since they always refer to them as “children.”

Can anyone tell me why in ANP Moiraine used Air,Water with a touch of Earth to draw water from a pond. While Aviendha used just Air and Water to do the same in tGS in the chapter “the death of Adrian”
