the True Power weave that allows control of an animal; do all 5 senses of the animal get to the channeler or just sight and sound?

Towers of Midnight Prologue.

As this is the general forum, I will post my answer under a spoiler because I don't know in which book it appears (though I dont know if it's really worth a spoiler ;-) ) :)

Sorry if this isn't understandable, im a foreign english speaker :)

Maybe this is the wrong topic to ask this question, but I'll ask it anyway:

I am from the Netherlands and I want to buy the series. I'd like to buy the Orbit books, written in English and with hardcover. But I can't seem to find them anywhere with hardcover, only the Tor books seem to come with hardcover. Didn't I search hard enough or are the Orbit books only published in paperback? In the Netherlands I found the books (translated to Dutch), with hardcover and with the Orbit covers. That's why I thought they had to be in English with hardcover too. 

The way I understand it the way portal stones works is that it takes a traveler though a mirror world which then allow for space to be crosser quicker, like for example the Ways where made by male Aes Sedai who had studied the mirror worlds found through portal stones. The way traveling with portal stones is supposed to work I assume is either that the traveler or travelers are instantly transported to where they want to go by being sent through the mirror word. When Rand first use a portal stone and ends up in a mirror world that is a mistake done because he channels near it and have no idea what he is doing. The second time when he tries to transport a group through that is a mistake as well because he have no idea what he is doing. Someone who know how to use portal stones will transport him or herself and their group safely and instantly, at least how I understand it.

Did Rhand use the portal stone the first time? I honestly doubt it. We know it is possible, but Egwene had a dream about Rhand, sleeping next to the portal stone while a woman in white (Lanfear) stood next to him. I think Lanfear has, as a stong channeler of the age of Legends, knowledge of the Portal Stones and she may have transported them to the mirror world.

As I understood, the Portal Stones were used to visit mirrorworlds. Why? Maybe to predict the future or perhaps to see what happens when they make a particular desision, I don't know. Or maybe just because they were Aes Sedai. In some mirror worlds time is goes slower of faster than in Rhandland, which makes some worlds suitable to travel faster than usual to other places. I think this was just a side-effect. Remember, in the age of Legends they knew how to Travel. (Strong) Aes Sedai didn't need to use Portal Stones to travel somewhere.

Edit: grammar
