I believe that the ghosts, weevils and failures of saidar are all increased instances of bubbles of evil. <br><br>The original bubbles of evil were attracted to the three ta'veren, and two of them, Mat and Perrin, both saw ghosts or someone nearby ...

If you follow the pattern from the earlier books, the Dark One seems to always be focusing his personal efforts towards a Major Project. First it was to lock the seasons in winter. When the Green Man put a stop to that, the Dark One shifted gears a...

I'll keep it short and sweet. There has to be a reason why Moridin would use the true power when he knows the cost. It's gotta have some advantage. <br><br>Here's what I think it is. A person needs to be able to channel to touch the true power - that...

There's a lot that's not explained about the wards failing all over the world in CRoT. The most obvious question is how; most people agree that the DO is behind it, but whether he is using his servants to unravel them, beating at them with the TP, or...

Saidar is obviously failing and we have been given no reasons why so far. I theorise that it is a direct touch of the dark one on both sides of the One Power. The seals are weakening and breaking so that seems to indicate that the dark one can touch ...

I say no, or not totally. My thought is that the taint is really not due to the Dark One at all, but to the Seals. The Seals MUST be broken, as Lews Therin used to claim, because they are essentially holding Saidin itself directly against the Dark ...

My theory is that even should Rand fail and the seals are broken and the shadow holds sway it will still be centuries if not millenia before he eventually breaks free from his prison. <br><br>My line of thinking on this is that after the bore was dri...

I think all of our major characters are being set-up or surrounded by Darkfriends or those in league with darkfriends, and all will be confronted almost at once. <br><br>1. Rand-my guess is both Taim will strike but Logain will counter him, and i th...

We all know the Myrddraal are throw backs to the human side of the trollocs and there is a theory that this is due to the channelling gene, so Myrddraals are in fact twisted channelers. My Theory will takes this a few steps further. <br><br>First off...

The crux of this theory is that Alviarin has been marked by the DO to be a Forsaken. <br><br>first the "mark" scene: <br><br>TITLE: Crossroads of Twilight <br><br>CHAPTER: 21 - A Mark <br><br>"She's been very useful," Mesaana said, not sounding afr...

I need some help from quote-masters on this one . . . Something that has perplexed me from the get go about the WOT is the part of the story where the DO lashed out at the One-Hundred Companions (OHC) and tainted Saidin before the Bore was sealed. T...

Please excuse the long winded intro: <br><br>Everybody has a desire to do evil at some point in time, no matter how 'good' you are, there will be times when you wish to do somthing 'evil'. <br><br>Everyone also has a personality flaw which brings out...

I envision the Dark One as a sort of Pandora's box of evil. He doesn't exist as a physical entity (some Sauron-like vision comes to mind for me), but more as an inky black fog of evil surrounding the Pattern. <br><br>When Mieren Sedai drills the Bor...

"Suddenly he felt something, saw it, though he knew it was not there to see. A glowing rope ran off from Aginor, behind him, white like sunlight seen through the purest cloud, heavier than a blacksmith's arm, lighter than air, connecting the Forsaken...

<p>As of chapter 22 of TGS, Rand al'Thor appears to be capable of channeling the True Power, a feat previously only performed to our knowledge by Ishamael/Moridin in the current age, and by around 30 channelers in the AOL. It stands to reason to thi...

Cleansing of Saidin I have put a lot of thought into this topic and after reading and re-reading how Rand and Nyneave accomplished this feat. I am a registered nurse and have worked in hemodialysis which the process removes solute (substances) in the...
