each weave is under the talent heading i decided on
ie balfefire etc.. Balefire Baleorb Balefire [Air, Earth, Fire, Spirit, Water] (Lost) Level: 2-9 Casting Time: 1 action Range: Thrown Targets: 1 (splash) Duration: Concentration Saving Throw: Reflex Weave Resistance: No A single orb the size of an orange appears in the casters hand and will stay there if maintained or until thrown damage corresponds to the casting level and the effect is picked from the list equal to or less than the casting cost. I.e. at +5 you can pick paralyses fire, heat, or light and deal 2d10 Dmg. The Baleorb color will correspond to the effect chosen. When thrown it explodes causing a splash effect. +1 casting level: splash radius is increased by 5 feet to a maximum of 20 feet Lvl Rad. Dmg Effects (Color) 2 5 2d4 Light (White) +1 5 2d6 Heat (Orange) +2 5 2d8 Fire (Red) +5 5 2d10 Paralysis (Blue) +7 5 2d12 Death (Black) Light: Gives off bright light in a 10 foot radius bright enough to see by, opponent makes a reflex saving throw if they make it they only take ˝ damage from the orb. Otherwise are light blinded for d4 rounds and take full damage. Blindness: Gives off no light, opponent makes a reflex saving throw to avoid being blinded for 2d4 rounds otherwise they take ˝ damage from the orb. Heat: Gives off pale light but not enough to see by opponent makes a reflex saving throw if they make they only take ˝ damage from the orb. Metal and wood take 2d4 points of structural damage and become scorched or discolored Fire: Gives off light that flickers similarly to a torch in a 5 foot radius enough to see by, Opponents make a reflex saving throw if they make it they only take ˝ damage from the orb. Flammable objects ignite causing fire damage and metal takes 2d6 points of structural damage Paralysis: Gives off pale light but not enough to see by opponent makes a reflex saving throw if they make they only take 1/2 damage from the orb otherwise are paralyzed for 2d4 rounds and take full damage Death: Absorbs light, opponent makes a reflex saving throw if they make it they are only Paralyzed see above as though failed but for an additional d4 rounds Elementalism Arrow of light Elementalism [Air, Fire] (Rare) Level: 0-5 Casting Time: 1 action Range: 100 feet Targets: 1-6 Saving Throw: None Weave Resistance: Yes One to six spherical balls of light the size of robins eggs appear in the castors hand and immediately leave and unerringly fly towards the target(s) only complete cover can stop an arrow of light. The castor must designate a target or targets before rolling damage and weave resistance is calculated +1 casting cost range is increased 20 feet to a max of 200 Lvl Number of Arrows Dmg per Arrow 0 1 1d6-1 1 2 1d6+0 2 3 1d6+1 3 4 1d6+2 4 5 1d6+3 5 6 1d6+4 Earth Singing Sword of Power Earth Singing [Earth, Spirit] (Rare) Level: 3-7 Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Effect: Increases attack and damage bonus of a weapon Duration: Concentration Saving Throw: None Weave Resistance: Yes Casting Level Power Increase Save Quality of Blade Mod 3 +1 -1 Masterpiece +4 +1 +2 -2 Mastercraft +2 +2 +3 -3 Average +0 +3 +4 -4 Poor -2 +4 +5 -5 Horrible -4 This weave allows the weaver to channel the One Power into a sword or another weapon, making it effectively a power-wrought weapon for the duration. If the weapon is already power-wrought, the power increase will replace the power wrought effect. +2 casting cost weave can be tied off. any Blade effected by this weave must make a saving throw, I.e. a +3 power increased master piece warder sword would make a save with a +4 for master piece but a -3 for power increase so a overall +1 if it fails the blade shatters. Warding Eyes of saidar Warding [Spirit] (Lost) Level: 3-6 Casting Time: 1 action Range: self Targets: self Duration: concentration Saving Throw: none Weave Resistance: none Level Radius 3 30 +1 40 +2 50 +3 60 Eyes of saidar allow a female channler to see the residue that is left behind from weaves made by male channlers by sending out a thin curtain of spirit that latches on to the residue highlighting it in such a way that it can be easily seen.

Baleorb seems to have nothing to do with Balefire. It
belongs in some other Talent. -------------------- Playing: Jen Farthen Personal Log I use the word "totally" too much. I need to change it up and use a word that is different but has the same meaning. "Mitch, do you like submarine sandwhiches?" "All-encompassingly..." |

Baleorb: As Zifnab said, baleorb has nothing
to do with balefire. Balefire is an energy weave that utterly destroys its
target before it actually touched it. In fact, to my taste, this baleorb
weave seems a too D&D-ish and quite far away from anything we have
seen in the books. Of course, if you think it suits the game you are
playing, go with it, but my opinion is that there are so many
possibilities in creating weaves with a WoT feeling that it is a shame to
just convert weaves form D&D spells. Just my opinion, though; the
important is that you enjoy the game you play. Arrow of light: seems quite good. Although I would still use the standard rules for range, i.e. Medium: 100 ft. + 10 ft./ channeler level. Sword of Power: I would recommend that you go and see drothgery's excellent rules on making object here. Eyes of saidin/saidar: As for healing severing, we never know, but this weave just seems completely impossible. I think it changes too much the taste of the WoT universe. Of course, if you are not playing in the canon WoT universe (alternate reality setting, ...), you could allow such a weave, but I would make so that once it is discovered, it remains very rare (like balefire in Rand's Age) because it makes inverting quite useless. In any case, as I said above, the important is that you enjoy the game you play, but I just wanted to point out that if you want to play canon WoT, you should not allow such a weave. |

I can see what you mean about the baleorb as for eyes of saidin/saidar mogeddon tells nynaeve and egwene that there is a way to detect a man channeling this is my interpertation on it i could drop the inverted weave aspect of it however this is a passive ward if you are not activly seeking out weaves but i agree so i willo drop it This post has been edited by Niveus on Jul 4 2004, 02:17 PM -------------------- ![]() | ||

As far as i remember this is a lie Moghedian tells the girls. I think you can find it in the scene where she is freed and taken before the Dark One, Shadar Haran and Moridin. Talan | ||

The reference is Book 7 A Crown of Swords, Chap 25, p
528 (Paperback):
This pretty much makes it clear that it is not possible to detect a man channeling. Although, of course, just like Healing severing, it could be an unknown weave. But I really don't think so. | ||

It doesn't say there isn't a way to sense the
opposite sex channeling only that Moggy didn't teach them Jack just messed
with their heads. It seems a little unfair that men can sense women but
not the other way around. I always figured there was a way, even if not even the Forsaken know it. There is a scene where Moridin is brooding over things that they have figured out in the new age that they couldn't even do during the Age of Legends. Forced Circles (Damane/Sul'dam), Bonding Warders, and of course Healing Severing. Just my 2 mk -Targul -------------------- I was that which others did
not want to be. I went where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do. I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the fact of eternal loneliness... Should I fall I have seen the face of terror, felt the stinging cold of fear, and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love. I have cried, pained, and hoped... But most of all I have lived times others were to say were "Best Forgotten". At least some day I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was... A United States Marine. |

Didn't we see somewhere (perhaps New Spring with all
of its Aes Sedai goodness) that the Red Ajah has several weaves known only
within their Ajah for finding Male Channelers. How it works we don't know
but I think there may have been one that detected the residue of Saidin,
however I don't believe it allowed you to see the residue just let you
know Saidin had been used there recently. There may also be a weave that
emulates that nifty ter'angreal of Cadsuane's as well. Jordan doesn't say
it isn't possible, but he always places good restrictions on such weaves
so as to keep the male/female distinctiveness going.

From the Under the Dragon's Banner Netbook located at
the Call of the Horn website Threading the Needle [Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Spirit] (Lost) Level: 3 Casting Time: 1 action Range: See text Duration: Concentration Saving Throw: None Weave Resistance: No This weave allows a channeler to detect the use of either saidin or saidar, depending on their sex. Female channelers can detect the male use of saidin, while male channelers can detect a female using saidar. The channeler may determine whether the opposite power has been embraced or channeled within the area of effect. They may not ascertain the strength of the power, nor the direction or location of the channeler. Use of this weave requires a great deal of concentration and can be very taxing on the channeler. A Concentration check (DC of 20) is required each round to maintain this weave. Failure means the channeler must drop the weave and suffers a -4 circumstance penalty to all skill/ability checks for a number of rounds equal to the time the weave was held. If the weave was held for four rounds prior to a failed concentration check, then the channeler suffers the penalty for four rounds. The range at which a channeler can sense the One Power in the opposite sex is 50 ft radius circle per channeler level. |

it is certain that females are capable of detecting
the residue of male's weaves. Quote from Robert Jordan: "There are various ways that the effects of male channeling can be found, weaves that find the resonance of the residues of saidin. Check in Crossroads of Twilight. They do not detect the actual weaves, though, only the residues left after the weave is released." Quote obtained at this website |

I think that you channel a weave of a certain type so
that you leave a residue itself but as long as it isn't done too strongly
the residue won't be present where sadin was. You kinda get a negative
immage of the residue. The reason that I think this is that where we see
sadair and sadin channeled together female channelers see a gap where
sadin is and vise versa. Eg when boul of winds was used and when Egwene (I
think) looks at callandor before It was taken and sees where sadin must be
in the weave. |
