What if you could choose one of the Powers or "talents" (distinct from Talents) of the WoT characters, what would you rather have?
If you chose channeling, what Talent would you choose?

Mat's luck. I'd make a killing in Vegas.

Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Caer hit the nail on the head.

Mat's luck, even if it lasts for just a couple of years, would set anyone for life.

Remember that Mat's luck seems to put in the middle of a battlefield quite often - wouldn't want that part of it, though the good luck (maybe that first night in Tar Valon) would be ok.

Of course, Mat's luck also keeps him from getting killed on said battlefield...

I want to channel saidar. Cause it's cool. And think of all the nifty things you can do with it! Like Traveling. :P Of course, you hafta be kinda strong for that to work, but... then I'll be strong, then. *shrugs* I still kind of like Jordans magic system... and the Aes Sedai are still darn cool IMO, even if they're somewhat stuck up and.. stuff. Eh. *looks innocent*

Saidin... cause then everyone will fear me... not just because I have power... but also because they might think I'm mad... which is cool.. cause I'll get them to do what I want. :P

Also... men tend to be stronger in the power... and I'd have no fear of going mad because I'd serve the Dark One and get his protection... but other people don't know that.... do they? :shifty: :P
