Interview: 2011
Twitter 2011 (WoT) (Verbatim)Brandon Sanderson (5 January 2011)
This now reads interestingly: "With all his heart & desperation, he silently shouted at Bela to run...tried to will strength into her...ZEERAK WASEEM
The Bela thing?BRANDON SANDERSON
Rand heals Bela of her fatigue before Moiraine can.BRANDON SANDERSON
Since people are asking, Rand's first use of the Power is healing Bela of her fatigue. He feels the effects later in Baerlon, I think.BRANDON SANDERSON
Are there any Theorylanders/Dragonmounters who can confirm this for me? Maybe give some specifics or a thread for people?ADAM PETTY
Didn't Moiraine bring that to his attention at the end of The Eye of the World or The Dragon Reborn?BRANDON SANDERSON
I think she did, but either way, I missed it first read-through.JO KENEBEL
Actually doesn't Moiraine confirm it later, she says something like "I had suspicions from the first...then there was Bela..."BRANDON SANDERSON
I was asking for confirmation on his sickness, not whether he channeled. :)BRANDON SANDERSON
On the subject of Rand's channeling, a lot of people are bringing up the event on the ship outside of Shadar Logoth.BRANDON SANDERSON
I'll talk about this when we get there. I've read a lot of theories on this one arguing for both sides. I've never made up my mind.BRANDON SANDERSON
Wotfaq on Rand channeling: http://bit.ly/fBBrCz I've read enough questions from theory-types on the second one to make me question.TEREZ
Like what? Seems pretty straightforward to me.BRANDON SANDERSON
And...Linda to the rescue. Once again, 13th Depository has an exhaustive look at all this: http://bit.ly/gYgU7Z (Thanks @einarjh.)TEREZ
She doesn't question it either. :D I have not seen a case against it. Also, Vin using up her 'luck' reminded me of that. :)MATT HATCH
Brandon, come on over. We'd love to "entertain" your theory against Bela. :)BRANDON SANDERSON
My theory against Bela?MATT HATCH
Thought "theories on this one arguing for both sides. I've never made up my mind" meant you were undecided on Bela...MATT HATCH
...as the first instance of channeling. But now I see you were speaking of the sickness.BRANDON SANDERSON
The ship is what I was talking about. I remember reading, in the early days, some people trying to refute that one.BRANDON SANDERSON
The reason everyone misses the first times Rand channels is because the sickness after the lightning is so much more memorable.HBFFERREIRA
The mast swinging and killing a Trolloc, right? I remember thinking ta'veren during my re-read.BRANDON SANDERSON
That's what I thought for a long time too. Might still think it. I want to watch it this read.LUCKERS
Re: Rand's first channelings—do you know of the theory that Rand channeled to bring them to the Eye...LUCKERS
Compare the last few moments before they reach the Eye with when Rand heals Bela of her tiredness.LUCKERS
If that is one of the first channelings, it's not on any list. Always intrigued me. RJ was so subtle sometimes.BRANDON SANDERSON
I'll watch for that, Luckers. Thanks for the heads up.BRANDON SANDERSON (7 JANUARY)
Okay, we come to Rand using the One Power to swing the boom on the ship and hit the Trolloc. The argument against this one...BRANDON SANDERSON
...is that the Power doesn't actually seem to move the boom. The boat shakes for some reason, which swings it down.BRANDON SANDERSON
In the other two cases, Rand does something actively. In this, it seems more accidental. It's enough of an argument to make me wonder.TEREZ
Who says Rand didn't shake the boat with the Power? Besides, the aftereffects are what make us sure.LINDA TAGLIERI
I agree. He jolted the boat which dislodged many Trollocs and the boom swept the one attacking him away.JOHN IN PUEBLO
Are you saying him being ta'veren caused it to move?BRANDON SANDERSON
I'm saying I've been made to wonder. The biggest point against it is the sickness he feels after.BRANDON SANDERSON (10 JANUARY)
So, Rand on the rigging really must be an after-effect of channeling. But it doesn't HAVE to mean he did it on the night with the boat.BRANDON SANDERSON
It could have happened in the days between, and... and I'm sounding like @theoryland, aren't I? You guys are a bad influence on me.TEREZ
If you actually hung out @theoryland you would never put such an unsupported theory forward for fear of our scorn. ;)TEREZ
Sometimes, Occam's Razor is your friend. Alas.BRANDON SANDERSON
Ha. You want me to think your theories are all well-supported? You think I haven't heard @theoryland's Avi theory?TEREZ
Hey, that was MY theory. And it was way more supported than yours! hmph... (though I didn't believe it really)MATT HATCH
Ouch. I should get Jenn to do an Asmodean panel at JordanCon. I need an outlet for my glossary disdain.TEREZ
While all of us in the apathy camp think the glossary reveal was JUST PERFECT TAKE THAT YOU CHUMPS.MATT HATCH
Of course you were happy, because it was the apathetic way to reveal it...I really need that panel, Jenn!JENNIFER LIANG
Tell Shannan. I think we have room for another theory panel.TEREZ
Also, Moiraine clearly says that early unconscious channeling always comes in response to a desperate need.TEREZ
We know it was smooth sailing after they left Shadar Logoth, so no opportunity to make Rand channel.BRANDON SANDERSON
Where did you get the idea that this was my theory? Just something I was curious about. :PTEREZ
Just from the fact that you were, you know, defending it. :p I know you said you had read it back in the day though.BRANDON SANDERSON
Unfortunately, I don't really GET to have theories any more, since I can just look up the answers or ask Maria. :(BRANDON SANDERSON
And the theories I do have I don't really get to post about, since they will influence the series end. Maybe once A Memory of Light is done,BRANDON SANDERSON
I'll pick a few things the notes are silent on, explain that they're silent, then jump in with some good, old-fashioned theories.BRANDON SANDERSON
That won't stop me from making random comments as I read, though, so maybe those count as my theories.BRANDON SANDERSON
I am keeping a list, though, to get answers on as I go. Already got a few, actually....TEREZ
That would be awesome. In the meantime, feel free to defend silly theories. It gives us something to do. ;)Tags

Interview: Sep 3rd, 2005
DragonCon Signing Reports - Matt Hatch (Verbatim)Isabel
Nynaeve was born with the spark, right?Robert Jordan
Yes.Isabel
Because yesterday there was a question about Learners...somebody who is not born with the spark, but is born with the ability to learn, could they begin channeling unconsciously?Robert Jordan
No, they could not, they would have to make a conscious effort. They could make a conscious effort without a teacher and maybe succeed, but without a teacher they've got a very small chance of actually doing it.Tags

Interview: Sep 4th, 2005
DragonCon Report - Matt Hatch (Paraphrased)Question
Do males with the spark also become wilders with blocks then?Robert Jordan
It depends, a woman born with the spark that doesn't get trained, she may become a wilder, she may or may not have a block, but quite often does. A man born with a spark is probably much more likely to go up and become a false Dragon, frankly, but uh, at least before the Black Tower opened up for business. But there are blocks among the men as well. We had one of the characters, one of the men who was one of the first Asha'man, one of the first to come to the Black Tower and is since deceased. He would not believe that what he channeled at, that he could affect anything he could not see. Thus he limited the range, he could not thus make a lightning bolt that hit on the other side of the hill because he could not see.Matt Hatch
[Tape ended] Other side, Jordan discussed the Land of Madmen, that blocks in men were one of the reason the isle/continent still remains.Tags
