Then, I asked my question, which concerned the Warder bond and the stedding .
What happens to an Aes Sedai’s Warder bond if she enters a stedding ? Can she still detect it? What if I tie off a weave, and enter a stedding ? If the weave vanishes, will it reappear when I leave? If it won’t reappear, why can’t shielded/tied channelers such as Asmodean or Liandrin simply enter a stedding to have their shield dissolved?
No, of course not. An Aes Sedai would still be able to detect her Warder in the stedding .
Then, I asked about going into the stedding with a weave of illusion tied on you:
The weave would go away, and would not come back when you left.
Then, of course, I asked: “Why couldn’t Asmodean, or Lanfear, or someone else with a tied off shield go into a stedding and get themselves freed?”
No. That’s different.
So, that’s a confusing set of answers. Why is it that when shielded, the bond to your Warder can become faint enough that you don’t notice it, whereas in the stedding it’s just fine? Why is it that weaves that don’t depend on you drawing the One Power don’t work, but Wells do? And, why do shields (which are a species of a weave) that are tied off not subject to this constraint?
