Dark-Related Abilities

	There seems to be some confusion on the differences between shadowspawn and darkfriends and the abilities of Tower characters and channelers in relation to both. Shadowspawn are the monsterous creatures of the Dark like Trollocs and Fades. They're born evil, their nature is evil, that's what can be sensed. Darkfriends are people who follow the Dark rather than the Light. Channelers and Warders can NOT sense anything about the vast majority of darkfriends. Darkfriends have no taint to be sensed by the Power and no visible differences to be seen by the eye. Normal darkfriends don't taint people or objects that they come in contact with. Tower characters can't inherently sense whether someone follows the Dark OR the Light, and there's no weave to determine that either. That's what makes darkfriends the most dangerous opponents in the world. If you see a Trolloc or a Fade, you know what to do. But you can't tell with people, you can never be completely sure of who to trust, even in the Tower. If Aes Sedai could sense darkfriends, there would never be a Black Ajah, all they would have to do is periodically scan all the Aes Sedai and root out those who've turned to the Dark. Even the Forsaken don't seem to have any taint of evil that's noticeable to channelers. In the books, there's a Forsaken in the Tower and no one's noticed. Lanfear spends a fair amount of time around a lot of the book channelers and none of them detect any taint or foulness about her. The only evil that's been strong enough to be sensed in the books is Padan Fain and his dagger. If anybody wants to rp a character or object of that nature on Cuendillar MUSH, they'll need to get approval from the Dark leader and probably the wizards.
	This same distinction has to be made with the Oaths. The third Oath is to never use the One Power as a weapon except against shadowspawn. That means monsters. An Aes Sedai can't attack a person with the Power because she's decided she suspects he's a darkfriend. She can't even do it if she knows he's a darkfriend. (There's more on the Oaths in another section below.)
	Channelers and Warders can sense when Shadowspawn come into a certain range, and can occasional sense a residue of one that's recently been in the area.

Other Sensing Abilities

	Female channelers can sense other female channelers if they're close to them. They can also sense a woman using the Power. The distance they can sense that over depends on the strength of the weave being used. If skilled enough, and within line of sight, a female channeler can "see" the flows woven by another woman when using the Power. For most women, they must see a weave more than once to pick up how to duplicate it themselves, and even then they can't always pick it up. Female channelers CANNOT sense a male channeler, and CANNOT see his flows. (NOTE: In the Age of Legends, when male channelers were common and male and female channelers worked together, it is possible that weaves to detect male channeling were known, or that women and the resources to learn to counter and work with male channeling despite not being able to directly sense it. Whether or not that was possible in the Age of Legends, no one in this time period has any abilities of this nature, and there is no training to prepare a woman for working with male channelers.) The ability for a woman to just sense other female channelers is pretty automatic in the books, it tends to be more deliberate on Cuen - you have to be looking. The reason for that is that the person you rp'd with yesterday might be approved tomorrow, so it's a reason for why you didn't notice originally. Male channelers get goosebumps when near to a woman who's channeling. They can dimly sense another man channeling, but cannot "see" the flows of his weave. Male channelers cannot sense the ability in a man or a woman who isn't actively channeling.
	Healing creates an affinity between the channeler and the patient. The channeler can sometimes sense when the patient is nearby, or becomes more attuned to their moods and feelings. It's a little bit like a really, really weak version of the warder bond in those two respects (and those two respects only).
	Holding the Source enhances the physical senses - you can see farther and in better detail, hear softer sounds, that kind of thing. It makes the channeler feel "more alive". It is this sensation that makes use of the Power so seductive, and that is why the Tower disciplines people to only channel when necessary. The lure is strong enough that it is not uncommon for the undisciplined to channel more than they can handle and burn themselves out.

Objects: Angreal, Sa'angreal, Ter'angreal

The Amyrlin assigns use of ter'angreal and angreal to individual Aes Sedai for use in missions or to study how they work. If you need one for one of these reasons contact the Amyrlin. A list of the objects currently in the possession of the Tower is available in the basement of the Tower. Suggestions for new ones are always welcome.

	The only function of an angreal or sa'angreal is to increase the amount of Power that a channeler can hold. An angreal works either for a man or a woman, not both. Sa'angreal are more powerful than angreal, and rarer. Angreal are pretty rare too.
	Ter'angreal are a bit like magic objects. Each performs only one function, though depending on the function it can be used in many ways. There are three basic types. Some need to have something channeled at or into them to activate their function. Some don't need to be activated, but only work when used by channelers. Some will work for anybody in the right conditions.
	Ter'angreal are like recorded weaves. For the most part they can only do things that can be done through channeling. Because more could be done with channeling in the Age of Legends when ter'angreal were made, there may be ter'angreal that can do things modern Aes Sedai can't. All ter'angreal proposed for use in role-play, or to be purchased in chargen must be approved by the wizards. If you want to propose a ter'angreal that is part of the Tower stores contact the Amyrlin about it and she'll contact the wizards for final approval if it needs it. Approval is needed to make sure things keep in theme.
	The Tower considers all ter'angreal and angreal to be its rightful property because no one else knows how to use them properly. It doesn't steal them, or force people to give them away, but it will buy them when it gets the chance or use manipulation and persuasion to try and get them out of people.
	The ter'angreal and angreal in the possession of the Tower are held in common, they belong to the Tower, not any of its individual members. Aes Sedai who come into possession of an angreal or ter'angreal are expected to turn it over to the Tower. If you get hold of one and would like to role-play otherwise, you need to contact the Amyrlin for approval on that OOCly.
	Even the Tower doesn't know how most of the ter'angreal it has work. The study of ter'angreal is difficult. It is also dangerous, Aes Sedai have been stilled or died during the studies. There is no master list of all the ter'angreal ever created. There are plenty of ter'angreal in the world that the Tower has never seen or heard of and doesn't know how they work. If you come into contact with an object you think might be a ter'angreal and you'd like to try and study it, contact Saidar for information on how to get the results of your experiments and study. Non-channelers can also experiment with ter'angreal with mundane means. On Cuendillar there is a Talent of Ter'angreal Insight. Those who have it are the best at figuring out how ter'angreal work.
	The making of ter'angreal and angreal has been lost. The Talent of Ter'angreal Creation is available on the game, so rediscovery of this ability can be role-played. The first uses of the talent will be considered TinyPlots and should be run past the wizards or the Amyrlin.

Channeling Limitations

	Channelers usually have difficulty grasping the Source and can lose their current hold on it if they're in massive pain, experience a sudden shock (like tripping and falling down a hill) or are mentally impaired by alcohol, fever, hangover, etc.
	Channelers cannot even feel the Source if they're in an Ogier stedding. The stedding are geographical areas where the Source just doesn't seem to exist. It's nothing to do with the Ogier themselves, you can be around an Ogier and still channel. The Ogier Grove in Tar Valon is not a stedding, it's just a park and channelers can channel there.
	You need to be able to see something to channel at it for the most part. Only the most skilled could channel to cure an internal injury, and channeling something at parts of yourself you can't see is difficult. So in general you need line of sight and to be able to see where something is. If you're blindfolded or in a deep fog it would be very difficult if not impossible to channel unless you were extremely skilled.
	We've seen no evidence in the books that matter can be created out of nothing or out of pure magical energy in the Wheel of Time magic system. I know that's a staple of many magic systems, but it doesn't seem to be a part of the WoT world. The closest it comes are things like this: A channeler can make a flow take on substantial form, like making a weave of Air in the shape of a sword that would cut like a sword, or making a fire sword out of Fire. As soon as the weave is dropped, the sword would disappear. Fireballs, flames to light candles, balls of light, etc. They seem to come out of nowhere, although I suspect the rationale behind it is that it's more like collecting the Power into a concentrated level in one place at one time. Again, all of these are temporary and disappear when the channeler stops weaving the effect. Their EFFECTS can continue - if you light some wood on fire with the Power, the wood will continue to burn after the weave that lit it is gone. If you make a weave of flame burning in a hearth with no fuel, the flames will vanish when you stop channeling.
	It is possible to transmute matter, but it is very rare, in many cases unknown in this Age. People with the ability to make ter'angreal could take a ring of plain metal or stone and transmute it into a different substance that has magical properties. The vast majority of channelers can't do it. ICly it hasn't been seen since the Age of Legends (3000 years ago), but people on the game with the ability will begin to rediscover it soon. (To have the ability you need to purchase Ter'angreal Creation in chargen.) Matter can be affected - if you light a pile of wood on fire, it'll burn until the wood is exhausted, if you cause an earthquake the chasm will remain after the weave is gone, etc.
	There are few effects in channeling that directly affect the mind. You cannot channel to read thoughts, although some people believe in the Wheel of Time world believe that Aes Sedai can do that. In the books, channelers with the knowledge of it can use Compulsion to influence people's minds. That ability is unknown in the Cuen world. It existed in the Age of Legends so ter'angreal that use Compulsion from that time are possible. They require approval like any ter'angreal.
	Both training and raw power affect the strength of what you can channel. People at an early stage of training can generally only do pretty small stuff, regardless of their raw power. Two people with equal training will have different abilities depending on their abilities in the Power. One might be strong enough to call lightning from the sky while the other isn't. Note that on Cuendillar MUSH there is no significant difference between the average strengths of male channelers and those of female channelers. However, as in the books, males can maintain a larger number of split or simultaneous weaves. (See below.)
	Channeling is fatiguing. The stronger you are and the higher your current Fatigue rating, the more you can do before getting really tired, but everyone has limits. When you get to the point of being pretty tired you can only channel minor effects. When you get completely exhausted you may not be able to channel at all. A good night or two of sleep is generally all that's needed to restore a channeler to full capacity.
	Channelers can "shield" other channelers. A shield is like putting a block between the victim and the Source - the victim can sense the Source, but can't touch it. It's harder to shield someone who's already in contact with the Source than someone who isn't. A fully-trained Aes Sedai probably couldn't be shielded by just one other channeler. A group of 13 linked channelers of average or good strength can shield any victim regardless of his/her strength.
	Weaves are usually pretty temporary - they last only while the channeler's attention to them lasts. A trained channeler can "tie off" a weave. A tied off weave still requires a small flow of the Power, but doesn't take much conscious attention. Tied off weaves involving Fire can spiral out of control so it's usually a bad idea. Even tied off weaves are rarely left around for that long. Except for a few exceptions they are probably released before the channeler sleeps.
	The only Element that can be channeled while asleep is Spirit.
	Channelers cannot fly, or even pick themselves up with the Power, although they can pick up objects and other people using flows of Air. The total weight you can lift depends on your strength. The books state that lifting things with Air is difficult.
	Unravelling or undoing another person's weave can be done, but is very difficult, and even more difficult if it's cross-gender, since you can't see the other gender's flows. It's easier if the person trying to undo the weave is stronger than the person making the weave. It's a bit like physically unravelling a knot of unbelievable complexity. Sometimes it's a bit easier than other times, but it's always a pain and sometimes impossible.
	The One Power can be used to move long distances quickly. How to do this is currently unknown in the Cuen timeline but will be rediscovered. There are limitations to it.
	The number of split flows you can maintain is determined by your Finesse. Women can maintain a number equal to their Finesse divided by two (rounded down), men a number equal to their Finesse.

Healing

	Channelers cannot use the Power to Heal themselves, it only works on other people. So one channeler can Heal another channeler, just not herself.
	Stilling, gentling or being burned out cannot be Healed. A severed limb can't be regrown. Death cannot be cured.
	An injury that has already undergone a fair amount of natural healing cannot be completely Healed with the Power. Scars can't be Healed away.
	Most mental illnesses cannot be Healed. Even in the Age of Legends work on the mind was difficult, and not always successful.
	Healing does not work as well on a wound received in the dream world of Tel'aran'rhiod.

Wards

	A ward is a bit like a fire detector that triggers a sprinkler system. A ward monitors for a specific situation, and if that situation occurs, it triggers a reaction. Wards require a bit of training to know how to make, and there are several limitations with them.
	Only one ward at a time can be set in a specific area or on a specific thing, or all wards set will fail.
	The trigger and reaction must both be fairly simple. If either are too complex, the ward won't work. Example: A ward created on a doorway to monitor all people that pass through. If the ward was triggered when a man walks through and the reaction is to rain some water on his head, that's a simple trigger and reaction and would work. If you tried to set it to only trigger for blond men, that's too complex a trigger, it probably wouldn't work. Setting it to to rain on men but blow wind on women is two reactions and probably wouldn't work.
	Ward reactions are channeling, and subject to all the general limits of channeling. If you can't channel it, you can't program a ward to do it.
	Ward reactions are also limited by your abilities. If you don't have the strength or Finesse to channel something, you couldn't make a ward that does it.

Channeling Limitations

	The Three Oaths of the Aes Sedai
	The Oaths an Aes Sedai swears are: To speak no word that is not true. To make no weapon for one man to kill another. Never to use the One Power as a weapon except against Shadowspawn, or in the last extreme of defending her own life, that of her Warder, or that of another Sister.
	The Three Oaths are sworn while holding a ter'angreal called the Oath Rod. The Rod makes the Oaths as binding as if they were "bred in the bone". They literally cannot be broken while in effect. Always keep this in mind in role-play. Novices and Accepted are expected to follow the Oaths, but in their case it's a code of expected conduct, not an absolute.
	At the same time, the Oaths have a strong subjective element - a lot depends on the view of the oath taker. This is particularly true of the first and third Oaths.
	The first Oath only relates to what an Aes Sedai believes to be true, not absolute truth. The Oath can't be used as some sort of divination. If Bob's in Tarabon but Sue Sedai thinks he's in Cairhien, if asked she would say he's in Cairhien, she wouldn't just "know" he's really in Tarabon. Aes Sedai cannot plainly speak a lie, but they frequently get around the limits of that by using misdirection and other tricks to imply something else. If Sue Sedai knows Bob's in Cairhien but wants to imply he's elsewhere, she might answer a question like "Where is Bob?" with "Bob knows his place is in Cairhien, and he is a man who always does his duty". Or if she is asked "Do you support House Smith in the civil war in Murandy?" she might reply "That is the prudent thing to do". She hasn't actually said yes or no, she's hoping the listener will assume she's prudent, so she means yes. NOTE: We know from the novels that the first Oath applies to written as well as verbal communication, so an Aes Sedai can't get around it by lying in a letter.
	The third Oath is to never use the One Power as a weapon except against Shadowspawn (and extreme defense). Shadowspawn means Fades, Trollocs and other monsterous creatures of the Dark One. An Aes Sedai can't attack a person with the Power because she's decided she suspects he's a darkfriend because he told a lie or she thinks he's shift-eyed. She can't even do it if she KNOWS he's a darkfriend. With the third Oath, note that the word "weapon" can be subjective, the Oath does not forbid an Aes Sedai to cause harm to another person with the One Power. One example would be to paddle an errant Novice with a weave of Air. An Aes Sedai could do that if she believes she's using the One Power to "correct" the Novice rather than using it as a weapon. It also seems as though using the One Power to interrogate someone can be rationalized in some situations. If you want to role-play something like this, you must get the permission of the other party, and you should also try and notify a member of the Tower administration. Note that the Oath specifically says "last extreme of defense". An Aes Sedai confronted with bandits on the road would have to wait until they seriously attacked her before she could throw fireballs at them. The Oath does not prevent an Aes Sedai from placing herself into danger, so another thing she could do is deliberately provoke them to attack or jump into the battle. (And non-weapon defensive weaves like trying to bind people with Air can be used in any situation.) The third Oath only applies to the One Power. The Aes Sedai confronted by bandits could fire a bow at them, or order her Warder to attack them, and that would not be against the Oaths (although in a slightly different situation might be against the laws of the Tower or the land she is in.)
	The second Oath forbids an Aes Sedai from making weapons people can kill one another with. Note that this one does NOT refer to the One Power in any way, so it's our assumption on Cuendillar that this also applies to mundane weapons. If an Aes Sedai was a swordsmith, she would find herself unable to craft a sword, since a sword has no other purpose than killing other people.

Some Specific Channeling Examples

A few things to note:

	A lot of these examples come from combat situations.
	The majority of these examples relate to book characters who are either extremely strong (8-10 on the Cuen scale for Power), or extremely skilled and well-trained (8-10 on the Cuen Finesse skill), or both. So the fact that these people from the books can do these things does not necessarily mean that every character on the game can do them, or should be doing things of this scale often. The examples are included here to illustrate some of the possibilities and limitations of the magic system created by Robert Jordan, not as examples of things people should be role-playing on Cuen.
	In particular, references that mention these characters are referring to channelers from the Age of Legends who are both at the highest end for raw power and have a level of training unknown in the modern game world: Lanfear, Semirhage, Grendael, Rahavin, Balthemal, Aginor, Asmodean, Be'lal, Demandred, Moghedien, Ishamael and Sammael.
	Rand is the most powerful channeler ever, far above the strengths of game characters.
	These examples come from the Wheel of Time Concordance, also written by Rhonda Peters. A full copy of the document is at ftp://fantasyalternative.org/pub/tales/WOT-concordance.txt. There should not be any significant spoilers of the books in the examples below. The Concordance does contain spoilers.

Air

• the she simple act of picking something up is one of the hardest in channelling. (VI: 426)
• the eavesdropping trick is mostly Air, with a touch of Fire. It requires a precise flow. It brings the sound of the target area where you aim it at to where you are, and is audible to anyone in your vicinity. The volume varies with the strength of the weave. (VI: 363)

  (A Darkhound leaves a footprint in stone like a dog does in mud.)

Fire

• Rand puts out fires by drawing in their heat and transferring it. (IV: 153-154)
• a woman couldn't do the same thing with heat no matter her strength, drawing the heat in burns her, she could burst into flames even doing it with a small fire. She must use Air or Water to extinguish. (IV: 154)
• it's dangerous to leave flows of pure Fire tied off. (V: 212)

• Rand uses Air and Fire to warm the air in the igloo. (V: 361)
• Nynaeve melts hole in the glass of a display case. (IV: 911)

• Rand uses Spirit to ward his dreams. (V: 89)

• a complicated weave of Spirit is used to make a shield. (III: 641; IV: 114, 758)
• Nynaeve tries to hit Moghedien with Air, but Moghedien slices her flow with Spirit. (IV: 906)
• one trained Aes Sedai is sufficient to maintain shields on Egwene, El, and Nynaeve once it's been woven. (III: 639) (Egwene, Nynaeve and Elayne are the three strongest channelers known to the Tower in 1000 years, but have not had much training at this point in the story.)
• Egwene uses Spirit to shield (and accidentally still) Amico.
• Rand ties off Spirit and Fire to ward a room so that any male channeler passing through the ward will be enveloped in a wall of fire, but otherwise it will do nothing. (V: 78-79)
• 6 is the traditional number used to shield a male channeler. (VI: 646)
• it is also custom that all of the strength of those maintaining a shield must be directed into that shield. (VI: 647)

Water

• Rand Channels water from deep in the ground into a spring to drink from. (IV: 393)
• Nynaeve dries clothes by sucking the moisture from them with a weave of Water, the water falling to the floor. (VI: 232)
• Egwene dries the water off of herself after she is dunked. (VI: 449)
• Theodrin uses Water to gather droplets of water on the floor together into a ball. (VI: 233)

Healing

• Healing is a complex weave, with flows of Air, Water and Spirit. The same flows are also used to diagnose. (IV: 147)
• the flows involved in Healing are incredibly numerous and complex, akin to "weaving four carpets at once while blindfolded". (III: 440)
• Healing doesn't work as well on a wound received in Tel'aran'rhiod as it does on an ordinary wound. (III: 241)
• Channeler should not trying Healing until she's been guided through the process step-by-step. (III: 137)
• the force of the Power used in Healing can kill the victim? (III: 210)
• the ability to heal can be reversed and used to kill, by boiling someone's blood in his veins, or stopping her heart. (IV: 630)
• by the time Thom next meets up with Moiraine, it has been too long since he was injured for Healing to completely mend it, but she is able to refresh him and ease the pain. (IV: 276)
• physical contact is required for Healing. (V: 400)
• in Age of Legends, different weaves were used to heal different illnesses. It took more time, but all the strength came from the One Power, instead of part from the injured person. (VI: 24)
• in the Age of Legends, men were better at certain types of Healing. (VI: 24)
• even in the Age of Legends, Healing could not cure all mental illnesses. (VI: 130)
• working on the brain (or anything you can't see) with the One Power is a difficult task. (VI: 139)
• songbirds are too small/weak to withstand the shock of Healing? (VI: 144)
• Moraine removes sensation of fatigue from 6 horses and 6 people. (I: 151) the horses are still tired, but don't feel it, would run until they dropped dead if pushed. (I: 167)
• Rand channels strength and energy to keep a horse going. (I: 149, 768)
• Lanfear squeezes Rand's heart and brain, then he cuts the flows. (V: 630)
• Rianna (a Healer) can stop a person's heart with the One Power to kill him/her. (III: 608)
• Semirhage stimulates the pain centres of the brain with Spirit and Fire - stimulating them too much can kill in moments. Later she sets the "web" a second time, and ties it off. (VI: 139)
• Semirhage kills someone with overdose of pleasure simulation. (VI: 143)

Weather

Note that large scale weather weaves can be dangerous as their effects can snowball and affect weather elsewhere. When the Aes Sedai call the winds to speed their boats up the Erinin to reach Shienar quickly, it causes a side-effect of flooding along the river. Generally the Tower encourages Aes Sedai to avoid using large scale weather weaves unless necessary.

• Grendael creates a "net" to keep heat out of part of her palace. (VI: 129)

Miscellaneous

• Moraine uses coins to create a bond between her and the boys that will tell her if they live, and where they are as long as they keep coins. (I: 325)
• Moraine's token should also make them biddable to her ideas, but Rand's ability to channel overrides that. (I: 768)

• Moiraine feels it as soon as one of the boys gives away his coin, which breaks her bond with him. If she gets close enough, she can find him even without the coin bond. She also senses when the boy regains his coin, and his temporary loss of it does not break the coin bond. (I: 558-560)
