ike Dye Tablets in Running Water

Before Winter's Heart - Archive Only: Miscellaneous Theories

Does everyone remember in The Lord of Chaos the scene where Taim presents Rand with a Seal? Lews Therin starts ranting and tries to break the Seal. There is only one reason why Lews Therin would want to break them, the Seals are what cause the Taint. Lews doesn't want to committ suicide because he says several times that he deserves death but doesn't want to die. The Seals draw the Taint into Saidin like dye tablets in running water.

So are you saying that the DO really isn't the one who tainted saidin...that somehow the seals are doing it? Now wouldn't that put a twist on things...I always say I think we give the DO to much credit.
