Sa’angreal Sa’angreal are the rarest of all the artifacts associated with the
One Power. Like angreal, they increase the amount of the Power a user can channel, but sa’angreal
are much more powerful than angreal. As much as an angreal allows a channeler to increase the amount of the Power they can draw unaided, a sa’angreal
increases that amount to an equal degree over a channeler using an
angreal. The two most powerful sa’angreal in history were constructed during the War of Power, one for
a man and one for a woman. They were so powerful that specialized ter’angreal were
constructed so they could be used safely. Designed to look like two huge statues, these sa’angreal were made to seal the hole in the Dark One’s prison. The ter’angreal required to use them were
thought to be lost during the Breaking of the World. Another sa’angreal is well known, though few
realize that it is an object of the Power - Callandor. All known that the removal of Callandor
from the Stone of Tear would be one of the great signs that the Dragon had been Reborn. Callandor is actually the second most powerful sa’angreal ever made for a man.
Even the White Tower possesses few sa’angreal. The sa’angreal the Aes Sedai have been able to find are secured safely in guarded rooms, and are seldom used. A
sa’angreal in the wrong hands could present a serious problem. |
