[quote=@aviendha] [@Ezmeralda] To phrase it better- the war's been going on for over a century now, and sending out the untrained Aes Sedai risks losing invaluable assets. It only makes sense that the White Tower would wait for an Aes Sedai to reach their full potential before sending them out into battle, lest they risk an untimely and ultimately preventable demise.
