Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77631946 True. Ta'veren appear to affect the Pattern based on their own personalities and skills. Perrin Aybara's ta'veren nature tends strongly to manifest in influencing people, causing people to do or say things they otherwise would not. By contrast, Mat Cauthon's twisting of the Pattern manifests as a warping of the laws of chance, and tends to be limited to a fairly local area. It most often manifests as extreme good luck for Mat, as well as apparently warning him of important events to come.
By far the most powerful ta'veren in the present-day world, and possibly the most powerful in history, is Rand al'Thor. His presence in an area causes any number of completely unpredictable and improbable occurrences, from throwing the laws of chance completely askew to two young people who can't stand each other suddenly marrying. This effect is uncontrollable and can extend to cover a wide area, influencing an entire village or a large part of a major city.
"I saw the boy, you know, in the courtyard during the Welcome. It is one of my Talents, seeing ta'veren. [...] he blazed like the sun. I've seldom been afraid of my life, but the sight of him made me afraid right down to my toes. I wanted to cower, to howl."
~Siuan Sanche to Moiraine about Rand al'Thor [ link to wot.fandom.com (secure)] You wouldnt call that chaos? It is chaos, but for Rand, it is also a gift. 'The Dark One' is what I would consider 'Chaos'. Remember I told you just before the Malibu fire and Camp fire started. And the Westworld set burned. [ link to youtu.be (secure)] Earlier it's very much scene as chaos. In one village they'll find a buried stash of coins, saving the village from starvation. In the next, all the coins they own will be discovered fakes, forcing dire times upon the village. It's not until the end, as the dark ones taint spreads as he escapes that Rands influence begins working purely to resist/counter that effect
