Ok in the
books it was pretty much impossible to break a shield that
stopped you from using the one power. In game is it possible?
Or are they shielded until it is dropped?? Any answers would
be greatly appreciated. I GM today.
Reason I ask is
because Naeneve(sp) tried as hard as she could to break the
shielding and couldn't

Well this
subject can be approached in a couple of different ways. So
let me start off that yes you can break a shield on you after
you have been cut off from the source.
- First
off, according to the books a channeler that is much weaker
than you, who is holding a shield, can have that shield
broken. This is illistrated when Elayne was shielded in Ebou
Dari and expressed surprise that the Kin who had shielded
her was able to hold the shield despite how much weaker she
was.
- Second, a tied off shield can be broken by a
channeler who knows how to "unravel the knots", as seen in
the Dumai's Wells example of Rand.
- Finally, a shield is broken when the channeler
holding it looses concntration.
You can find a
better set of rules for the shielding weave in the netbook

Elayne wasn't at all surprised that Garenia/Zarya was
able to hold a shield on her, though Garenia wouldn't have
been able to shield Elayne if Elayne had been holding the
power. Garenia is about as strong as Moiraine, and so quite
capable of holding someone who isn't all that much
stronger. What was surprising was that Berowin, who was
probably on the edge of being too weak too reach the shawl,
was able to hold Nynaeve. Berowin has a strong Talent for
sheilding; no matter what variant shielding rules you use,
this should normally be impossible. A 5 ini/1 wil (a
reasonable Berowin) can't hold an 8 wil/7 ini/2 AS (a
reasonable Nynaeve) without a special talent or a powerful
angreal.
