Great Oval Ring

The Great Oval Ring.

The oval ring is a ter'angreal in possession of the White Tower.

Appearance

The ring is more of a doorway, with it's rim as thick as an arm, standing over span in height, and is about a pace across in width. It glitters in ever-changing colours.[1]

Use

This ter'anreal is what is used to test a woman to become a full Aes Sedai. Seven channelers must channel all five powers in a complex weave into it while the candidate enters the rings into a mirror world and must successfully perform one hundred weaves at the right times to pass.

Injury and death can occur within the rings, and a person can also simply not emerge from the ter'angreal.[2]
