Moraine: theories on shielding

[Syera Faelron]

How do we all think she will rid herself of the shield?
The one at the Eye of the World by Ishamel.
I just did another rewatch of the whole season in one day (bit like Crowded House) and can see the net fall on her and then does some intricacies of weaving. Also how she'll overcome it.
So theories

Whatever it is I suspect it might not have any relation to our understanding of the One Power. Honestly their handling of the One Power has been (for me) mone of the worst aspects of the show. Heres hoping much of it was due to Covid and reshoots.

I liked the explanation and visible user of weaves.
It was just ishamels user of the net shielding that way more intricate than the ladies one on logain

 

[Silencia Roamadred]

I agree on that - I liked the visual representation of the weaves (although I wish they were move Weave like if thats makes sense) but they did an absolutely terrible job of explaining why Male Channelers are terrifying (the fact that the Aes Sedai cannot see their weaves). From talking to friends (non book readers) they still have no idea that Men and Women channel different forms of the Power.

I think Moraine sums this up in the books with a single line which would have really helped the non book viewer: it is something like "I can no more teach you to channel than a bird can teach a fish to fly"

What shield? Are we talking about what happened when she swore on the Oath Rod? Because I didn't think that was necessarily a shield...

Final episode when she and Rand are in the Blight is what folks are referencing.

I totally need to rewatch because I don't remember it lol

I only actually saw the net fall on her after a third rerun or fourth. It's very brief, in the eyes of the world. Ishamel does something very intricate afterwards to tie it off I imagine.

I was under the impression that she was stilled, not shielded. I might have to do a rewatch.

Hard to say which. Whatever was done didn't seem to interfere with the warder bond though.

It looks basically similar to the shield they had on Logain, but ol' Ishmael is strong enough to do it and tie it off. Maybe we'll get some payoff early with it.

Lanfear knew how to undo a male channeler weave as long as you know where it is and what it's made of.

I dunno, I think they did a pretty good job explaining via the entire season via Logain & Owen about why Male Channelers are terrifying.

Just a shame we didn't see Aginor etc. Although that's a different thread topic

 

[Linkelivar Miou'Mai]

I'm thinking our favorite Brown sister will be involved in unraveling the shield. It would be a great way to not only introduce her but give her a reason to follow Moraine and interact with the Edmond's 5 (especially Egwene)

 

[Syera Faelron]

Oh yes that would work so so well.
