Say a PC
uses Folded Light to conceal herself and then doesn't move.
She must be a channeler using saidar, obviously. Well,
then an Aes Sedai walks by. Since the AS also can sense and
see saidar, would she see the screen of invisibility
(even though she wouldn't see the character), or is the screen
invisible after the weave has formed? It seems the weave
is kind of useless against channelers of the same gender,
unless you can Invert. Seeing as how that takes special
training and low-level PC's (and therefore NPC's as well)
can't do it. How do you play
it?

Pretty much
that way. It would be pretty useless to use Folded Light
against another channeler of the same gender unless you knew
how to Invert the weave, did so, tied it off, and released the
One Power.
Inverting the weave would hide it from
other channelers, tying it off would allow it to remain in
place, and releasing the One Power would keep the PC from
being sensed (at a distance). It is important to note that a
channeler WOULD be able to sense the PC if he/she walked close
enough to the PCs location, even if the PC was not holding the
One Power.
That's part of the balance channelers have
to keep, though. As overpowered as they are already, to have
it (seeing/sensing the One Power, and weaves like Folded
Light) function any other way would be
Godlike.

Then there
is the Lost weave that allows the channeler to mask the
ability(which by default must be inverted or it does no good).
combining these two would make the character virtually
invisible to another channeller - even one of the same gender.
The problem is that only the Forsaken are likely to have the
knowledge to accomplish this...and Nyneve & Elayne (thanks
to holding Moghedien prisoner for so long). ![[Big Grin]](Wizards_Com Boards Is Invisible really invisible_fichiers/biggrin.gif)

I've never heard of freinds or relatives of serial killers
saying, "He was crazy, I knew he was going to snap sooner or
later and start killing people". They always seem to say, "He
was such a nice normal young man", etc. Atleast with
crazy people, you know to watch your back! My web page, new
