Rand was touching the Toman Head symbol at the bottom and Verin was touching a symbol near the top. Most likely a fluke, as Verin was trying to cover Rand's attempt to channel.

The Pattern made Perrin and Mat ta'veren temporarily, but Rand is the The Dragon and I don't think he would lose his ta'veren aspect just because he can't channel. Much like Hawkwing was ta'veren. Rand even hinted at the peak of his darkness that he could very likely manipulate the pattern if he so chose. Rand's evolution into something beyond the need to channel at the end of AMOL would certainly fall in line with his enlightened capacity to manipulate the pattern as he sees fit.Manetherenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16136085597386765947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-33928216439615310282009-08-19T09:36:40.593-04:002009-08-19T09:36:40.593-04:00I think it's highly likely Sammael's stasi...I think it's highly likely Sammael's stasis box held the Gholam. In A Crown of Swords when he was giving orders to Carridin, he told Carridin he would send him some help to deal with the Aes Sedai at the palace (so they wouldn't interfere with his search). The Gholam would fit this bill very well. Plus the darkfriends that raided the Ebou Dar stash with the Gholam appear to have taken what they took to Sammael, as he claimed to have acquired the Oath Rod he gave the Shaido at about the same time.<br /><br />Just finished my ACoS reread through, if you couldn't tell. :PTimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-11575686406243882912009-03-30T03:55:00.000-04:002009-03-30T03:55:00.000-04:00Thanks for spotting the typo!
