Pretty sure, egwene is like 40% of Nynaeve. Maybe suian is 10% general population of AS 20-30% of Nynaeve.

I don’t know what you are quoting, I just read that section and Sammael didn’t believe there was anything that could undo the Great Lord’s work, he will be sorely disappointed. also, the weather network was probably powered by the Standing Wave, probably not by people channeling into parts of it, and was an automated system.

That’s a good point. It may have been, or maybe not, I don’t know. Also Aes Sedai we’re known to use young male Aes Sedai for necessary projects, so if need required it, they would have done it.

Nynaeve is ten times stronger than Egwene???

In the age of legends there was a global network of Terangreal to control the weather, but those terangreal were not bowls of wind, those were something else. the bowl of winds was probably created after the sealing of the Bore. Once the global network was shattered, one or more powerful surviving female Aes Sedai from the Age of Legends created it to prevent the world from being covered in storms and the necessary weaves were given to the Seafolk.

They had no way of following Rand and Co. and they didn’t need Rand to uncover the seal and they had no idea where the seal was, or that anything else might be hidden in that saidin, they went to steal the saidin, that’s it. Ishy/Baalzy was trying to interact with the big 3 in the dream world, he was trying to build a relationship with them.

In what way could have the Eye exposed Rand? And in what way could it have set up Rand to help Ishy?

It may have been that the Dark One gave Ishy access. The Dark One was not fully sealed away from the world, so what ever DO could touch, he transferred to Ishy. if it were purely closeness to the surface, Bathamel and Aginor would have had more control in the world men, they were practically zombies they were so close to the surface. Ishy was in better condition than them, he just had his eyes turn to fire by constantly weilding the Dark Force 🤷

Nah, in the book, it wasn’t a trap. the baddies wanted to use the eye of the world and Rand showing up fouled their plan, whereas in the TV show, they needed Rand to show up so they could use him to break the seal with the saangreal that Moraine provided Rand. The TV show is a very different story, and a different story telling technique which doesn’t respect the characters or the viewers.

Yeah, I read all the time, but after finishing the aMoL, I barely read anything for six months. lost track of which reread I’m on now.

Angreal, Terangreal, and cuellindar are all immune to balefire. When Belal shot Rand, the balefire hit the razor sharp edge of Callendor and parted. Belal didn’t have anything that could block balefire. Rand entered world of dreams after fighting Belal. In the dream he fought Ishy far more extensively and destroyed lots of the Stone, that damage was gone when he returned to the real world. I believe Nynaeve’s weave was very thin, that’s how I read it, tho if they were dead as mentioned above, it may not be able to undo anything.

I believe back then there was no such girl or such actions, it was a false story to motivate Suroth’s people to murder Tuon as they tried just before she leaves Mat.

When did the name People of the Dragon start? my only theory is that when Lews first became Tamyrlin, and the war started and he moved to a greater role and took the title Dragon and the Forsaken left, the Aiel were no longer just servants to the Aes Sedai, they became the servants of Tamyrlin and adopted the name People of the Dragon or were called so by others. During the Breaking or later, that name may have been lost, but not before the Dragon Wall got its name… Any other ideas?

Sinister, you may be right, I didn’t think of it in those terms. Light, the problem with weather manipulation is very complicated, and that’s why a terangreal creating a construct is needed. The Windfinder was gathering information from far away and channeling over large distances to makes changes to weather. She was an expert at make the changes needed. When someone brings rain, they have to bring moisture from another part of the sky, but they won’t have precise data about the air speed, humidity and temperature at the location they are drawing from, so they can push the wind much faster than they intend, they can “draw” more water than intended, and not have precise temp, they can cause a mini hurricane when they intended a cooling sun shower. But someone very expert can tug very gently on the air, constantly updating her data set as information comes in, beginning of her pull was too gentle, she pulls a little harder and has the best understand of how things interact…

Samt, the first construct is when Rand is in the Stone of Tear and he creates a self aware storm that seeks Trollocs and Myrdral on its own. The construct over attacked trollocs that entered the hallway where the construct was created, then lightnings flowed down all the corridors, in all directions and killed all shadow spawn outside direct observation by Rand, indicating independent information processing. Callendor was protected by a tied off construct that protected itself or any channeler would be able to slowly pick away at it until they could reach Callendor. Rand probably created a simpler but more vicious construct to protect Callendor, tho it could have been an inverted trap weave that resets. The Bowl of Winds creates/powers a construct. And the last one that comes to mind was the final weave during his Seanchan war, also a construct. When Rand made the construct, he didn’t make it correctly because of the slippery weaves. Had his final weaving been just many more lightnings than other people can channel, he would have had to direct all the individual lightning strikes himself, and he probably would have noticed when the individual lightnings started slipping into his own ranks, but he was just powering a construct that was supposed to differentiate between his side and the other side and attack the other side.

Healing can’t be an ordinary weave. weaves do a thing. A construct acts situationally. If someone is anemic, it increases their blood clot factor, if someone is suffering clots it reduces the blood clot factor. If someone has a wound in one part of the body, it only “heals” there. we were introduced to the idea of other kinds of weaves that heal specific parts of the body like the heart, and one Aes Sedai can dial in the power so carefully that she can heal someone just enough to live without healing the body so completely that the patient dies from the loss of energy, but she can’t prevent the weaves from healing a scratch while it heals the lung.
