Thistledown Floats on the Whirlwind is a sword form.
Description[]
This form involves leaping and spinning, such that the blade cuts horizontally.
In practice[]
Rand al'Thor used this form to decapitate an unnamed, unarmed female Darkfriend in the Murandian hills while on his way to Tear. She was still mounted on her horse, so Rand would have had to leap fairly high to cut her neck.[1]
