From reading the books it is specifically said that
using the one power to do a job tires you like it would if it was done
normally, the only difference is that a large amount of the energy needed
is proveded by the OP. Basically weaves should be treated pretty similar
to how normal skills are used. There is a certain relationship for example
where the physical strength needed to lift something and the weight of the
object compared to your strength determines how tired out you get (eg. a
strong guy like Perrin is less tired from physically lifting something
than Faile would be). This is proportional to the amount of OP needed to
lift it compared to their strength in the OP. Also the complexity of the
task compared to the skill in doing it in both cases change how tiring it
is. What we really need is a better implemented version of "subdual dammage" representing tiredness with appropriate penalties to actions for the more you take. An idea I have is that there are two levels of this where immediate things go into the first and provide immediate penalties. Annything from a physical exertion to using the OP to bleading to death goes into this- the last explaining why "mortally wounded" people can sometimes not be healed, going with my theory that healing converts physical to subdual dammage. If you take enough of this YOU WILL DIE. After a while this will fade into a kinda numb tiredness which is less lethal but you can still die of it just not as easily (unconciousness will usually come first in both cases but usually only if you actually stop or get extreemly close to death) the second type is like what people get if they have to walk for days on end and they would have usually already fallen unconcious by this time but keeping on moving keeps them awake. Also healing with the OP can convert straight to this is they can afford to take their time (think Mat and how much harder doing annything was, and what it took to recover: heaps of rest and food). One idea could be that when you sleep it heals only the first type which the second is converted to wile asleep like the oposite of how it happens when you are concious. This explains both how people sometimes die if they just lie down and go to sleep and die if they are EXTREEMLY run down and also how you can wake up more tired than you went to sleep as there is more of the second tiredness converted to the first than is healed in a certain amount of time while asleep. Hopefully this makes sence and someone could make a system to deal with this, I probably will eventually if I can get arround to it and no-one has allready made a system. One thing to note is that most of this is only used in extreemly dire circumstances where something is really needed or with channeling to some extent. |
