- To speak no word that is not true.
To speak no word that is not true.
To make no weapon with which one man may kill another.
Never to use the One Power as a weapon except against Darkfriends or Shadowspawn, or in the last extreme defense of her life, the life of her Warder, or another Aes Sedai.
- To make no weapon with which one man may kill another.
