u'Machin Shin \u2013 which means black wind in the Old Tongue \u2013 is a force that hunts the Ways for anything that is alive. Many travellers feel a breeze on them, but there is no wind in the Ways. Such people almost always die, and those that don\u2019t, go mad, and often go into terror at the mere sound of wind blowing. Machin Shin is easily identified by the screaming of souls from those who were caught by it. It doesn\u2019t seem to think or be sapient in any meaningful way. Machin Shin absorbs souls, and even Aes Sedai who use Delving are unable to feel anything inside a person taken by it.'
