  65.         <p>In [TPOD: 2, Unweaving, 82], Moridin is waxing wroth on things which the  Third Agers can do which were not known in the AOL:</p>
  66. <p> </p>
  67. <blockquote><p> "A way to Heal being severed.... Involuntary rings. Those Warders and the  bond they shared with their Aes Sedai.... whenever he thought he had the  measure of them, these <i>primitives</i> revealed some new skill, did  something that no one in his own Age had dreamed of." </p></blockquote>
  68. <p>Quite a few people have expressed confusion over what "involuntary rings"  are; here is an explanation. A "ring" is a way of referring to a group of  linked channelers (such a group has been more commonly called a  "circle"). In [TPOD: 2, Unweaving, 83], Moridin wonders about the  repercussions of Ny's group using the weather ter'angreal in "a ring"; the  implication being that he's wondering what would happen if they used it in  a circle. Thus, an "involuntary ring" refers to channelers being linked  against their will. We've seen this done, and know the device which makes  it possible--the a'dam. The mention of involuntary rings is a reference to  the damane, who are linked to the sul'dam involuntarily.</p>
