Weren't the beams themselves, as well as the Guardians, just mechanical contructs made by the Great Old Ones in an effort to hold the world together once it had started slipping? I mean, as a...
That's the one. Thanks!
This is pretty much what I hate about Little Sisters. Roland doesn't do anything throughout the whole story except realize that he has to hold onto that kid's golden amulet for protection. He gets...

I think this hits the nail on the head as far as Tull is concerned, except I think it does so by illustrating what a gunslinger IS, not what he shouldn't be.
Sure, Roland sensed a trap there, but...
