Still, it seems a bit amazing for me seeing as she was constantly playing with Amathera, she dropped her off a tower and got her out of TAR just before she hit the bottom and stuff like that. I know Spirit can be channeled asleep but do you have that level of micro-control over the flows when you're not conscious? I always figured that channeling while asleep was just about setting the weave and maintaining that while asleep, sort of like the wards Moiraine sets on Lan, Bukama and Ryne in NS which set off an alarm in her head whenever anyone passed them.

I don't think it's possible to actively channel when you're not conscious, even if it is Spirit. So I wonder how the BA was doing what it was to Amathera.

Which brings me to another question. I remember that it was mentioned in the books, but if you enter TAR with a ter'angreal that requires channeling, are you automatically holding the source and still channeling into the thing's reflection in TAR? If so, is stepping out of TAR the same as it usually is, or do you have to stop channeling?

On a final note, one appears to have some level of consciousness when in TAR, so maybe you can control your real world spirit weaves from there, but I fail to see how it is possible when you are simply asleep and therefore unconscious like in Moiraine's case. Of course, I could be wrong, and there might be a part of a channeler's brain that stays conscious in order to control the weaves of Spirit, but it's just a little odd that such a thing has never been mentioned.

According to the rebel Aes Sedai who went to the site of the cleansing in CoT, the amount of saidin used was enormous compared to the amount of saidar used which was in itself an impossibly large amount. Then how is it that the male CK survived the cleansing while the female one went boom?

Exhaustive research! But where did you get the info that only if both parents have the channeling gene, one can be a sparker? Take Nynaeve for example. You're suggesting that her parents have the channeling gene?
