"Dale, you of all people should realize - for all that I have the ability to channel, I am yet only human. There are weaknesses, not often spoken of among the Aes Sedai, but they exist all the same."
A single beat of silence.
"For one, I cannot weave where I cannot see. For another - it is possible to form a link, between men and women who can channel. Think of it as a circle of strength, if you will; one that greatly increases what may be done with the One Power. It is not like when women alone form the link; instead, the woman initiates it, where the man cannot, and then passes control to the man, who directs the weave."
Her voice remains steady, very carefully so.
"At that point, she may not control her own weaving, nor may she leave the circle until she is released."
