Please note I have not read the newest novel (I'm rereading the series first) so please do NOT post any spoilers if this is covered in that book, just say it's covered in that book.

I was just curious if people thought about how Aginor created the Gholam, considering they are immune to the direct weaves of the One Power? My theory is it has something to do with the "hole" that Nynaeve noticed in severed people, where no matter how much one power she channeled into it, it just seemed like an unfillable black hole. I'm thinking Aginor somehow figured out a way to dump all the one power weaves that directly target a severed person into that hole, making them immune to the one power. After he figured that out, he worked on his next subject, removing their bones and increasing muscle mass and strength so they could still support their own body, add a few more things that account for the drinking only blood and not bleeding (somehow he created a vampire) and then make them immune to the weaves. But has anyone else thought about it? I realize I'm basically rambling but I think I got my basic idea across.

no you missing Agnior/dashiva/osangar's gift it was genetic engineering he chose out the genetic characteristics that he wanted and grew them once he relized how truly dangerous they were he stopped making them a true Frankenstein's Monster.
It surpassed his expectations.
