Anvaere to Barthanes: "There are two things my sister understands better than anyone. The difference between right and wrong, and how much harder it is sometimes to do what is right."
That sums up Moiraine to me beautifully.
LOL! Arinna.
I think honestly they were going for "this is bad and Rand is scared" and the details don't matter that much, except to us crazy book hounds. In my head, knowing Lanfear, she was probably going to compulse him to love her forever.
Pretty sure the very transparent channeling that Lanfear did right before Moiraine stabbed her was TP also. It looked very different from flows of air. It *could* have been spirit, but I don't think so, I think it was TP.
