They messed this up in the first season of wheel of time, but they got better in the latest
WoT can have anachronistic words since the 3rd Age, which the series is set in, is a regression from a high tech age. They could have carried the word over from having some form of ter'angreal gun.
Yea that absolutely makes sense, but if I remember right Robert Jordan did stick to loose in his battles. Idk, how much you have read but I believe that is what the "shocklances" are supposed to be in the scenes we get from the third age
I've read that the TV show was an abomination. Is it any good?
First season is very rough, especially in the second half. They had a number of extremely bad production issues introduced by COVID. For instance shooting and lodging on opposite sides of a border, and one of the actors just not returning after a recess. The second season was solid and won back my interest and the third is just excellent. There are some changes introduced to rearrange the appearance of settings that will seem a bit odd to a book reader at first but will gradually make sense when you see the plots connected to those places interspersed elsewhere. Definitely worth giving a go if you were on the fence
