I was jsut wondering, how do you explain what it's
like to channel to someone whose never read the books? Has RJ ever even
really gone into WHAT it's like to channel the one power? other than the
fire and ice for men, or serenity for women, or whatnot. I mean, actually
channeling. -------------------- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this rant's

I think a good start is to read over the numerous
descriptions that RJ gives in the books. That's how you got your idea of
what channeling "looks" like. Use some of the same descriptions when
describing it to your players. They will likely form similar thoughts as
you did when you read it. -------------------- I like swords. |

You could maybe say that the channeler took small
strings of saidin (or saidar) and "dyed" them with one of the five powers,
and "weaved" them into a set pattern... generally use a lot of words from
sewing and weaving (not that I know a whole lot ![]() |

Umm... that is actual channeling. If you mean, how does it look to create a weave, the impression I've gotten from the books is that "threads" or "flows" of the Five Powers appear and literally weave together to create the effect. There is a good description of weaveing in the prologue of Path of Daggers, when Verin works her not-quite-Compulsion on one of the Sisters captured at Dumi's Wells. | ||
