They aided mankind as scientists, healers, and philosophers. Women used saidar and men saidin, although it is believed that channelers in the Age of Legends were much stronger, or at least more knowledgeable, in the Power than their modern equivalents; it is believed that they could fly, and things that would seem miraculous today were supposedly commonplace to them. Some of their lost Talents, such as Traveling and Dreaming, have only just been rediscovered. One thing is clear, however; the greatest works were wrought by male and female channelers working together.

Traveler Traveling is the art of using the One Power to transport over vast distances nearly instantaneously through a portal called Gateway. Traveling is also related to Skimming, which is the simplest and a little less fast way to use this kind of Weaves to open Gateways. In the world of the Wheel of Time it is considered one of the most important and useful Weaves. Traveling was considered a lost and forgotten skill since the Breaking of the World, documented only in some ancient book. It can be guessed that it was lost because almost all the Aes Sedai knowing this Weaves died during the Breaking and also because it was impossible to use it while the world surface was reshaped continuously by the mad male channelers.

During Egwene al'Vere's training among the Aiel Wise Ones, little information was given about this aspect of the talent. The only real information is that a dreamer must decipher and know the truth of their own dreams; no one else can teach or guide it. This Talent is unconnected to the One Power.

It is the simplest form of Traveling, but while the ability to Travel is considered a Talent, the ability for Skimming is not and all channelers who know the weave can use it when the required strength is provided. Skimming is performed by opening a gateway to a pitch dark area where the user creates a platform, gets on it, and moves in any direction he or she wishes. If anyone falls off that platform, that person will fall forever and die of starvation or sheer terror, unless he or she can channel another platform to stop the fall. [link to wot.wikia.com] I had a strange dream a few nights back. I was in a hammock, way up in the air, and I was looking out a window that was there for some reason. There was a long stretch of water and an aircraft carrier sitting just in my view. While I was looking at it, I was marveling at its size, thinking I never knew they were so big. Every time I moved a little to get a better look, the hammock would start to swing wildly, threatening to fall out. There was a woman behind me in a hammock, just above and she said, If you keep swinging the hammock, we're gonna fall out.. Difficulties strengthen the Mind as labor does the body... ~Seneca |

Seer777 (OP) Ride the wings of the mind User ID: 77080859 United States 11/01/2018 09:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Weaves Weaves are those teachable abilities that can be performed with the One Power. Theoretically, weaves of the One Power are similar to textile weaves, and weaving Saidar has been compared to folding silk. Once a weave has been created, the channeler can "hold" it to keep the effect ongoing, or knot the flows, a process called "tying the weave off". A weave that has been tied off persists even after the channeler has released the True Source or left the area. A channeler of Saidin or Saidar is able to see the weaves created using the same half of the Power, but not the other. For this reason, a man cannot teach a woman how to create a weave and vice versa. Although a channeler can intuitively create a weave (such as when Rand wove Balefire for the first time), most channelers learn by watching others create the weave. Once it has been created, they then practice creating it themselves until they can recreate it by memory. A channeler with the knowledge of how to invert their weaves can hide them from the sight of others. [link to wot.wikia.com] Difficulties strengthen the Mind as labor does the body... ~Seneca |

We influence each other because we share something beyond us both. How do you feel about that? About me? I think about death far too often and I am well aware of that, about myself. Even I know it's too much. The why, could be because I am really struggling with the concept of an Afterlife. I ignored you because I saw you giving a message, that was the opposite of what I said. After that, I didn't think I could trust you at all. But then I also didn't know for sure, if my message was relayed to you, correctly, so I pulled back completely from everyone. You know I have a hard time knowing for sure where it is coming from. Happens when everyone tells you 'It's them'. Just when I think I figure it out, it gets all convoluted again.

Most have none at all, and some only have the ability to be taught, to one degree or another. But a few channelers are born with "the spark," an innate inclination that will lead them to touch the Source whether they wish to or not. These untrained channelers, sometimes referred to as wilders often die without ever gaining control over their innate ability by a strange sickness; some research indicates the mortality rate for untrained channelers is 75% or more. Often, however the survival comes with a price; wilders may not even know they are using the One Power to do things. They just know that sometimes, "things happen" when they want them badly enough.

Quoting: Seer777 Plus..Chaos grabs a foothold and tries to grab the crown. Channelers are not born equal; some are stronger in the Power and can handle more of it than others. Men and women who can channel are different in this respect and in many others, regarding the One Power. For example, male channellers can on average channel more of the Power than female channelers, similar to the gendered difference in physical strength. Channelers must always be careful, as the One Power is dangerous. Besides providing an addictive stimulating effect, channelers who draw too much of the Power into themselves can kill themselves or render themselves brain-dead. If they are lucky--relatively speaking--they will only burn the ability to channel out of themselves, leaving them unable to channel ever again.
