Shield

A shield is a weave which allows a channeler to cut off another channeler from being able to touch the One Power.
Shielding is distinct from severing, which permanently cuts off a channeler from the One Power.
== Overview ==
Shielding is typically used by Aes Sedai to cut off dangerous male channelers from the One Power, and subsequently transport them to Tar Valon to stand trial and be gentled. Maintaining a shield can be very taxing, depending on the strength of the channeler being shielded, and whether they are trying to actively break out of their shield.Trivia for The Wheel of Time, season 1 episode 4: The Dragon Reborn.
== History ==
=== Season 1 ===
The Aes Sedai sent to deal with Logain Ablar capture him by sneaking into his camp and shielding him while he sleeps. Of the sisters sent to deal with him, only Kerene Nagashi, Liandrin Guirale, and Alanna Mosvani are strong enough to successfully shield him, and must work in pairs to do so. Moiraine Damodred is also strong enough to shield Logain after she arrives in the camp, and takes over from Liandrin in place of Kerene's shift. When Logain's army arrives, he is able to break through the shield and attack the Aes Sedai, forcing them to gentle him after the end of the conflict.
At the Eye of the World, Moiraine confronts a man who efficiently cuts her off from the One Power with a shield, and he ties a knot with the One Power. Moiraine remains cut off from the One Power after the confrontation.
