[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 7312949, member: 82504"] It occurs to me for Rand himself I really do not have any reason to want to simulate the sanity problems that beset NPC Ashamen. [URL="http://wot.wikia.com/wiki/Rand_al%27Thor#From_the_Two_Rivers"] http://wot.wikia.com/wiki/Rand_al%27Thor#From_the_Two_Rivers[/URL] Rand when he begins this story is in his universes equivalent of a half-elf an archer huntsman and a swordsman At the point he discovers his gift/power he could even be swordmage the flaming sword effects are appropriate, shielding is accomplished by controlling air ... At one point he can also trap an enemy with air. (what about a daily that mechanically does a sleep spell which paralyzes the enemy) ... Flames abound in the magic of the Ashaman and yeah the Dragon imagery but he can do many things with it. (manipulating any of the elements and in ritual contexts even heal) Dipping in to the One Power when it is tainted (as it was through most of the stories) pushed urges of violence and anger but not sure arguably it was causing psychic damage. He has a relic that amounts to a sword focus an Excalibur designed for channeling it would enhance his power massively but he basically put it aside after one use... could be a plot device even. His previous incarnation tainted the one power and destroyed those around him... Rand didnt ever do this but its rather back story and a fear of what he might do if he didnt control it --> The voice in his head is his previous incarnation arguably he never really exhibits significant sanity issues and he is eventually with the help of another the one who repairs the source of all Ashamans power itself... this is one badassed super mage.
