It showed up at least two times after the one when she was tricked, so either "The way back will come but once" is just a myth, or this happened because of her unique power.
Ya, absolutely... ▼Spoiler ...it's both, by the sisters own admission they don't know a lot about the portals and Nynaeve has rare abilities, which also has something to do with the sisters conversation about all these children being born at this time in history to prevent the coming darkness, etc, almost as though certain people with abilities will be born with a specific purpose that will be difficult to stop.
Show spoiler. ▼Spoiler It's just another example of the show being trash. In the book, the way came but once. I guess the writers of the TV show can't even handle that bare minimum level of book accuracy. Book spoilers. ▼Spoiler In the books it malfunctioned because of an item she was given known as a ter'angreal. I'm definitely not watching the show until it's canceled, but I'm 90% sure it was the Dream ter'angreal that allowed her to access the Dream World. When two similar ter'angreal are near each other they can behave in predictable ways. I honestly forget what the specific malfunction was. I think it was revealed there even was one once she got out and the Aes Sedai said the strain in keeping the way open was immense.

Interesting, very different show to the books then, talk about taking liberties, that'd be frustrating, but ignorance is bliss, I don't mind the show for what it is, but knowing how the writers have desecrated sacred canon/lore like that, seems right on par with my view of the production...it's not supposed to look fake, but everything looks fake.  It has that feeling of a Saturday matinee because every set and prop looks like a set and prop, like it's fake; and most of the young cast I can tell are acting, so I never fully suspend disbelief, but I still really like watching it, that's part of it's charm.

Book/Show spoiler
▼Spoiler Actually now that I am thinking about it Nynaeve's trial went through with no issues, other than the trauma of dealing with the trail which is rough on all Aes Sedai. It wasn't until Egwene went to the trial with the ter'angreal that there was an issue. I'm guessing the show is condensing again.

Re: The Wheel of Time
By the way... Does anyone else chuckle every time they bring out the pacifier witches?  (Sorry, I don't know their official job description.) 
Still enjoying the show!

Re: The Wheel of Time
... yes, the pacifier-gags are quite something ;o))) - and the whole collar/leash/gag thing has quite the kink-factor, too. I'm just wondering, how the hell the damane ever change their clothes with those metall thingies on top. As a fan of the books I have a really hard time to watch the show - but it's like a bloody accident, you know it's awful, but you can't not look. And is it just me who wonders if todays acting schools teach their students to leave their mouths to hang slightly open with a relaxed lower lip all the time? Especially Egwene and Rand seem to have that one down perfectly (if nothing much else).

Re: The Wheel of Time
"seen not heard" I hope they are not getting paid per line of script...or they really should give them a smaller gobstopper ( uk ) jaw breaker ( yank) .
https://thechocfactory.co.uk/products/c … gobstopper Poor old Egwene they really did a number on her with her makeup.

What in the actual fuck is this? Is this the damane from the Seanchan? Wow, just... wow. Did they put those in there to like... eliminate all the complex dialogue that shows how truly fucked up the Sul'dam/Damane relationship is? Where the fuck is Jordan's wife in this? Or Brandon Sanderson's worthless ass? Is he sucking up to get a Stormlight Amazon series greenlit? Cause if they do serves him right if they mess that up.
