Callandor Callandor is the name given to the crystal sword that is actually one of the greatest sa’angreal ever made. During the Breaking of the World it was hidden and shielded within the Stone of Tear to prevent its use by the maddened male Aes Sedai. The prophecies stated that it would eventually be
The fall of the Stone of Tear and the claiming of Callandor were considered to be two of the greatest signs that the Dragon had been Reborn. Callandor is an extremely powerful sa’angreal, among the greatest ever made. Perhaps only the two great sa’angreal originally constructed to seal the Dark One’s prison are more powerful. But there are several problems inherent in the use of Callandor. First, few would even have the skill to handle the large flow of saidin the sword can command. Enough saidin could be channeled through this sa’angreal to level an entire city. The greatest danger, though, comes from Callandor itself. It is not buffered in the same manner that other great sa’angreal were buffered. As such, the use of Callandor lends the user to believe that he can do anything. The more a man uses Callandor, the more this lack of a buffer becomes apparent. Callandor also magnifies the taint of saidin. But Callandor can safely be used under certain conditions. A circle of one man and two women, with one of the women leading, could safely wield Callandor. The current mistrust between Asha’man and Aes Sedai, though, makes it unlikely that any such circle could be attempted. |
