Angreal are objects which allow those who can channel to draw more of the One Power than they normally could without harming themselves in the process.

DescriptionEdit

While all angreal offer this benefit, they do vary considerably in strength. The amount of additional Power to which they provide access is dependent on the channeler's own strength in the Power. The stronger a channeler, the more Power an angreal provides.

Sa'angreal are like angreal, but much more powerful. All known angreal and sa'angreal are aligned for use by either a man or a woman, never both.

Most angreal are constructed with a buffer to protect the user from drawing too much of the Power.

All existing angreal are left over from the Age of Legends. The knowledge of their construction was lost during the Breaking of the World, along with the knowledge of creating ter'angreal, although the making of ter'angreal has been rediscovered. Angreal are rare; sa'angreal are extremely rare.

Creating an angreal Edit

Just prior to the Last Battle it is revealed that a ter'angreal called a Seed is used to create angreal. The crafter uses the ter'angreal to pour their Power into an empty vessel. The process is said to greatly weaken the channeler that created the angreal for several months.

List of angreal Edit

It is known that the White Tower and the Stone of Tear hold many stores of angreal, as well as sa'angreal and ter'angreal, but this is a list of angreal used by individuals at certain points in time.
