O medalhão da foxhead realmente protege contra o saidin?

5

Em todos os livros, fica claro que o medalhão foxhead protege contra saidar , mas e quem disse ? Considere:

Em Coração de Inverno ,

Mat is protected against Aran'gar's channeling of saidin

e em Uma memória da luz ,

Gawyn, Galad, and Lan all wear the medallion to protect against Demandred's channeling.

No entanto, em Fires of Heaven , vemos que

Mat is killed by Rahvin's lightning: "Tendrils of smoke rose from the black haft of his spear, too, from his coat, even from the silver foxhead, hanging out of his shirt, that had not saved him from a man’s channeling."

Existe alguma indicação de como isso é resolvido?

Meu melhor palpite é que

the lightning isn't a weave of saidin, but called down by saidin (just as it won't protect against a rock thrown by Air)

mas não tenho certeza se há evidências para apoiar isso.

Sim.

Robert Jordan respondeu a este (# 2 em esta lista ), e também abordou a aparente inconsistência que você encontrou entre Os fogos do céu e livros posteriores:

Mat's amulet blocks both saidin and saidar. Jordan answered this one straight-out when asked. He pointed out that the amulet only blocks actual weavings of the One Power, not the physical effects that could be caused by a weaving. For example, Elayne was able to use the One Power to hurl a rock at Mat. Rahvin was able to create a bolt of lightning which struck Mat. (Jordan noted that Mat's death by lightning and subsequent undoing of his death when Rand balefired Rahvin, fulfills a prophecy about living, dying, and then living again.)
