| Oct 14, 2019 at 21:25 | comment | added | F. Sullivan | If I'm remembering correctly, didn't Moraine tell the Trio to not accept anything or agree to anything in their dreams? Maybe I'm misremembering. Perhaps it is a plothole that Jordan planned to use and dropped later | |
| Oct 10, 2019 at 19:05 | comment | added | Amarth | @Mithoron Who said anything about magic? (Though actually the goblet could be a ter'angreal for all we know.) My point is that Nynaeve uses this very trick to catch Moghedien. | |
| Oct 10, 2019 at 17:38 | comment | added | Mithoron | @Amarth You're just illustrating my point there. - this tea was just like normal and we have no reason whatsoever to think it was "magical", so what your point is? | |
| Oct 10, 2019 at 15:29 | comment | added | Amarth | @Mithoron That's clearly wrong, since Nynaeve conjures Forkroot tea in Tel'aran'rhiod and forces Moghedien to drink it. If others who (unlike Nynaeve) aren't skilled herbalists can do the same, we don't know. | |
| Oct 9, 2019 at 21:11 | comment | added | Mithoron | @Amarth Thing is even in Tel'aran'rhiod a drink is just a drink, and there's no such thing as "magical potion" in the series. | |
| Oct 8, 2019 at 21:58 | comment | added | Amarth | I'd say it's likely some means which he can use to locate them in the real world. He finds them in Baerlon somehow, after which Mat is appearing guilty when Moiraine wonders how they could have been found. So maybe he drank and maybe that's how the myrddraal found them. This is all just speculation though. | |
