Wheel of Time: Magic System Explained

Quick recap of the magic system in Wheel of Time to prepare for Season 2 of the TV show.

Key terms:
Channel: Use magic
Source: The well of magic used to channel, split into male and female halves
Aes Sedai: Women trained to channel in the White Tower in Tar Valon
Ajah: The color/group an Aes Sedai belongs to; Morraine is Blue Ajah
Stilling: Severing the connection between a channeler and the source

Using magic is addicting and hard to control. Untrained channelers often burn out and still themselves or worse.
