A: In a way.

A: No. Whatever the degree of taint channelers have won't change. (they won't get more)

A: Ta eem, (he said it phonetically) (don't know how to write down how to say it, but it's not how most people say it) Sure, he is a men who can channel. The aes sedai see him as a men who can channel. They will hunt him down and gentle him if they can. He has one safe haven in the world. A place were there are more men like him. Just maybe, if there are enough men like him, the Aes sedai won't be able to come after him.

A: I have said it before and will say it again. There will be one more book. Even if it has to be a 1500 page book. It will be the last book even if you have to use a luggage cart to move it (laughter and applause).

A: In TAR you can channel fire. You can channel spirit only from your sleeping body but being in TAR is different and you can channel anything.

A: RAFO

A: I intend to do 2 prequels, one is why Tam al'Thor gave up a successful military career and went home to buy a small farm in the two rivers and the other one will be largely why and how Moiraine and Lan showed up in the nick of time in the EOTW. When I will do those 2 novels, I do not know.

A: if you are injured in TAR it will be transferred to your body, but not vice versa.Shielding someone in TAR it will shield the body, but shielding the body is not transferred to TAR. They can channel in TAR, but of course when they come out, they are shielded.

A: could be.

A: It's not a servant of the Dark One. It will kill Trollocs or anything else. You can say its a parasite that grew in the Ways because of the Taint and the one power that was used to initially create the Ways. The talisman of growing that was used to extend the Ways.So it's not a servant of the Dark One, but it's definitely on the evil side.

A: No. It's like a bacteria breed. Just by cleaning up the chemicals that caused the bacteria to come into existence, unless it's feeding on that, those chemicals, you are not going to destroy the bacteria. You simply cut off what helped to create it.

A: No, anything I would do there would have a sense of inevitability. You know what's going to happen.

A: :It was my decision. I submit the manuscripts and they run with it.

A: In some ways. Machin Shin is linked or you might say drawn to that. It's not a matter of linked, but more attracted by. In much the same ways as I spoke about the evils being attracted to one another due to opposite polarities. (shadar Logoth and the Taint)In the same way there is an attraction because Machin Shin was created in effect by the Taint. It grew out. You can see is at a fungus that was constructed with the wrong type of materials. If you think about it as that way you get a more idea about its true nature.

A: No, there was no way to stop it or make it weaker (the SL evil). But when Rand made the conduit, they were attracted to each other due to opposite polarities, and they were attracted to each other and destroyed each other because of those differences, and it created a huge explosion.

A: He was born with the Spark.

A: He has breakfast, reads the newspaper, goes to his desk. Look at the emails I have to deal with. I cannot say go to Hell. Deal with the phone calls that have the same ranking. I am supposed to stop for lunch. I generally remember I have to stop for lunch about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I don't often eat lunch. Than I go help Harriet to get dinner on the table. I do that pretty much 7 days a week. I don't mind if I go fishing on a Wednesday or play golf. Last year I believe I played golf once and went fishing three times.

A: They know quite a bit about his back story. They think he is a man who has much ji.He has a one man war against something he cannot beat. And they recognized him by the crescents on his helmet.

A: Yes I know where they rank. RAFO. I don't go into that kind of thing however. I know where they are. I also know they are highly unreliable. None of them is going to admit that anyone is that much stronger than they are. Even when you are inside their heads. Don't take everything they say as the absolute truth or unbiased observation.

A: they are about the future.
