The glow around her fades as she releases saidar. Moiraine gives the gateway a considering glance, but it remains intact. She nods at that, and turns her attention back to Harrow.
"It powers itself, I suppose you could say. The lingering power in the threads will be consumed over time, and as they are, the weave will eventually dissipate and dissolve."
She examines Harrow, searching for signs of blood or faintness, and is satisfied with what she sees.
"You have done well with this. It looks stable, and is of a sufficient size. I have known many who cannot open a gateway as large as this. When you are ready, we will cross. I will lead the way."
By doing so, if there is some instability that cannot be seen but which she can detect as they start to cross, she will have a chance to stop them before it is too late. She does not think it is likely, but there is always a risk, the first few times a channeler learns a new weave, especially one like this.
