In the part where Androl and Pevara are in a circle and Pevara discovers she can make a gateway (androl's talent) even though she is not the one in control of the the circle caused by the fact that they each bonded one another, was an interesting discovery. It wasnt discussed much in detail afterwards but an interesting thought came to mind now that the last battle is done and they will be able to share this information, I am wondering what that will do to the decision when choosing a bonding partner with the intention of double bonding and some of the combinations that could have real benefits. Imo, more than likely there are many talents asha'man/aes sedai possess that are not discussed in the books that could potentially create a very dynamic combo.

Thoughts?

Re: Duel bonding and the use of talents

I mentioned this on a different thread so forgive me for repeating myself. Since the Reds are no longer gentling men who can channel, they need a new purpose as an Ajah. I think they will be leaders in discovering what is possible when male and female channelers can accomplish when they work together.

This discovery was amazing! I'm very interested in knowing what could happen with the double bonding and using each others talents.

Great thought, and I agree. It's a cool switch, from hunting down and gentling male channelers to bonding/working alongside them, and logistically it makes perfect sense.

Thank you! I like it when someone agrees with me :D

Back to the original question, there is a talent called "Earth singing", which Rand shows in spades, and Cloud Dancing. I think they would make an awesome combination. Ward Creation and Shielding might could have interesting combinations. I wonder if Steddings are just awesome Wards? Could more be made then? Maybe with the combination of shielding and ward creation?

How about this. A two way bond is more intimate, as is a same sex bond (Birgitte), imagine the possibilities of a (dun dun duun) same sex two way bonding. It might well meld the two into one body
