My letter from RJ
Paul Raj Khangure
In an Age long past, an Age yet to come, Thomas Howard wrote:
: OK, on to good stuff. Below are the questions I asked (paraphrased),
: and his answers, if given. Any direct quotes from Mr. Jordan are
: placed inside quotation marks, sensibly enough.
I'd really appreciate, if possible, the exact wording on some of the
questions, and answers ... It does make a difference.
: 1. What was the deal with that sentence concerning TP detectability?
: His answer was that the True Power is only detectable by the "single
: person" wielding it, and it cannot be seen by others, as the OP can.
This was already cleared up at a signing, wasn't it?
Additional confirmation.
: 2. What does Maisia mean?
: In case you don't remember, Sammael called Graendal this
: when they were messing with the Shaido. Mr Jordan stated that it
: was a name for pets in the AoL, "like Fido or Fluffy".
FAQ. 2.10: "Original name is maybe Maisia."
Need to alter that.
: 3. Why couldn't Moghedien escape the leash with the TP?
: I'm just going to quote the whole response to this:
Can you quote the question also?
: "the a'dam would perceive *any*[emphasis mine] power use and treat it
: accordingly"
: I don't know about you, but this seems to support the idea that one
: must be able to channel the OP in order to use the TP.
I thought we were explicitly informed, via a signing, that _anyone_ could
use the TP, if they wanted it badly enough, and teh DO let them.
I'd assume they'd need training though, which would limit it to OP users, in
general.
: "Mat's medallion gets icy cold if someone directs the One Power at
: him, but it would be cool if the Power was being used near him, and
: almost cold if it were being used very near him."
Wonder if this helps with the coolness of the silver during the Gholam
incident ... afterall there was a hell of a lot of channeling a floor below.
: 11. Would you please state for the record that Rand's helper at the
: end was *not* LTT?
: To quote (and God do I like to hear this): "Lews Therin Telamon is
: dead, not walking around Shadar Logoth."
Sweet.
