That looks entertaining...

You didnt like the Bourne movies?

On the subject of Prometheus I just assumed that it was a separate type of bio weapon, basically a different batch to see which one is the most capable. I actually quite liked that movie

 

 

 

Also just watched the newest Riddick movie, its alright they did a new pitch dark type thing. Could definitely been better.

I agree with you 100% on the Riddick thing

The new Riddick.  Kinda disappointed.  Just seemed like a mirror of the first one.  Started slow.  If they do another one it cant be much worse I guess.  It seemed about as bad as you could have done with Riddick.

Exaggeration, but it is definitely up there.  The soundtrack is the best I have heard in a long time, and maybe its just because i want my own dragon.

I saw How to Train Your Dragon.  Best movie I have ever seen.

Ive got all of those and school :(

Nakomi is an American Indian name for "wanderer"

He was there, or relatively close.  He was on the hill or whatever the Shadow was based on opposing Merrilor.  IT confused me at first, because I missed the transition of him and Faile there, but it happened.  But perhaps it was spread out more due to the weakness of the pattern ect.

I dont remember where or by who, but i remember a description in the flaws of the dominion band.  One of them was that it essentially became a fight over control, and the other one had something to do with madness..

Eben Hopwill. Don't anyone dare say otherwise.

 

How about universally hated? And I mean like someone whose birthday party absolutely nobody would go to. I nominate Elaida.

I dont dislike her.  I disagree with her, of course, but even when she won she lost.  Kinda hard for me to hate her.

I think it has to do with their feeding off emotions?

Remember Moir could draw on Lan's strength as well.

There is that "Resonance" test.

Which is why I said "As long as you can see the weaves" :)

And thank you, thats what I thought.

Well, since there are multiple ways of doing things with the power (remember the problem with learning a weave a certain way?), the end result is all that seems to matter. Since the end result is all that matters, it is reasonable that given enough time to study it, one could recreate it. As long as you can see the weaves.

Does anyone know Taim's actual strength?

I think of the breaking of the bond as similar to being stilled. The process looks different, but is essentially the same.

Get stilled-Lose the will to live

Break the Bond - Desire to die

The methods for surviving both are the same, find something to devote your life to.

The only difference I see is that rebonding doesnt cure the depression, while being healed of stilling does. But this may have to do with the different person you are bonded to compared to the original bond, while you are being reconnected to the same source.

As I said she is not in my top 5 characters

I dont hate the Egghead(or any other character , specially when I am reading the books. It is only when threads like this come up and I am forced to think about it that I dont like her. She sheds skin too easily, to quickly, to perfectly for my tastes. The pattern most definitely set everything up for her to succeed, and with as little actual adverse conditions opposing her as possible. In this, I am referring to her Salidar and Tower workings. Before this, everything was laughably easy for her (when considering what normally would be the conditions).

Her capture by the Seanchan was rough, but she made no wins in that, that was Ellie and Nyn's work that got her out (along with the Whitecloaks and Heroes).

Her little Black Ajah hunt was pathetically easy. You are three barely trained girls chasing 13 full AS, and an unknown amount of other darkfriends/servants/guards. After the initial confrontation(where they have the surprise) any 4 of those BA should have been able to handle the girls. And look at that, they got caught(should have logically been killed, but whatever), only got out because of the Aiel/Rand/Mat+Julian.

Her training under the Wise Ones wasn't a challenge. It was hard, but not something anyone else with the dreaming talent couldn't do (Im not sure how much her lie affected her acceptance into their tutelage, but I dont see why they would mind if she had only been a apprentice)

Salidar was ripe for to take control. The two factions either would have crushed her or crushed each other under her, which they did. If there had been more of a focus on controlling her than frivolous pokes between the groups.

Upon her arrival in the Tower, it is already fragmented, close to splitting into 6 different Towers. Elaida was messed up by Fain and essentially powerless until she got rid of Allavarin (and even then not entirely). Even counting all of that, she seems pretty pathetic for the ambassador to Andor and a woman seen worthy by Sitters to rule as the Watcher of the (broken) Seals.

Her manipulation of the Hall into giving her sole control of dealings with Rand was so transparent, and I dont have 200 years of political background behind me. I think this was Brandon's, but I doubt anyone could have written that end result in a way that didn't make the sitters look pathetic.

Sutt, you are the only person I have ever met that uses the word patently as you do. Its interesting

New question, If asking about the shadow in finnland is dangerous, does the same hold for asking about the Shadar Logath evil?

I have a couple of questions that have come up when me and my RPG gaming group have been playing in the WoT setting.

 

Can a channeler draw a representation of a weave that it is possible for another channeler to understand? Both the illustrations in the comic books and the way the weaves are described at least to me indicate that this would be possible, though it would probably be very inadequate representations could a channeler learn a weave from a description or illustration of one instead of seeing the weave his or her self?

 

Could a severing weave miss and hit someone else? Okey the way Rand did it with those three Aes Sedai who held his shield that was rather directed to them, but normally when just a sharp shield is made, if two channelers is standing right next to one another and you are trying to sever one of them could you miss and hit the other one, or in other words is it dangerous to get to close to someone being severed?

 

Can Draghkar talk, we know they can sing, or rather hum, but can they speak normally? I know they are not that intelligent, but originally they where humans made into Shadowspawn so I was wondering if they also could be used to for example fly to a certain place and deliver a message and not just be used as assassins.

 

Do you mean could a channeler show another channeler the weave for something like healing or fireballs or a gateway? Sure, they do it all the time.

Draghkar can communicate, in EotW one was used as a scout to track the crew.

 

as for the weaves I think that you have it right. But I am more curious about making coloured air to show channellers of the opposite sex the weaves, what would happen if that happened? Would it be learnable, or a good way to destroy some channellers attempting it

Rats and Crows can communicate as well, so that doesnt necessarily mean much.

Weaves are different for the different sexes. traveling is the obvious example. but id assume that most weaves would have fundamental differences. At most, they could state goals like "ward off this section" or other effect-based descriptions.

What would happen in a Fain/Shadar Haran face off? Fain easily handles other fades, but SH is something special...

 

They'd probably share a couple beers, and talk about frustrating Rand is.

So you're introducing a third evil into the mix...
