The purpose of this lecture is to demonstrate some basic uses of the Spirit thread of the One Power in a consistant manner such that our weaves will have some uniformity.
Destroying Knots - this consists of using flows of Spirit to knock/pick apart the knot holding a weave in place. One method is to use the fine thread of spirit to untie the knot, or pick it apart much like one would use his fingernails on a knot in a piece of string. Another method is to insert a thin thread of spirit inside the knot and "flex" it, shattering the knot. Examples:
Joe examines the knotted weave for a moment, then seizes Saidin. He spins out a very fine thread of Spirit and slowly worms it inside the knot. Once it is fully inside, he puts more energy into the thread, expanding it as if flexing a muscle hard. The knot shatters and the weave it held unravels.
Joe spins out a fine thread of Spirit and uses it to slowly pick apart and untie the knot on the Airwall weave. As he finally works the knot apart, he steps back with a triumphant grin and watch as the weave fades away.
Shield - Flows of Spirit, heavily formed into an axe-like construct to be slammed between the victim and saidin or at his connection to saidin if he is grasping already. An example:
Joe channels thick flows of spirit into a wedge shape and attempts to slam it between Bob and his connection to Saidin.
Delve - Flows of Spirit used as a fine probe to determine the extent of a patient's injuries. An example:
Joe places his hands on Bob's head and spins out fine flows of Spirit to probe through his body to determine the exent of his injuries.
