I thought it was more her strength limit. When she did all that in the field, she needed to recover, hence Nynaeve medicating her in Shadar Logoth.
No, that’s because she wasn’t very strong in Earth and Fire. If her strength in the Power was the same, and she had Egwene’s strength in Earth and Fire, she wouldn’t have been exhausted to the point of collapse.
Which is more or less what I said. But doing it one at a time, constrained as she is by line of sight, would take too much effort and wear her out.
No, it really wouldn’t. Not in the time scales for this battle, and definitely not in the timescale for the battle in the show.
But that’s your idiotic interpretation of the story. RJ was telling a story where there is no one hero. Even the Prophesied Savior is most certainly not solely enough, and needs a host of others to guide him and push him to be what he needs to be.
I’m sure it twists your balls in a knot, but for a lot of readers, this is an ensemble of heroes, and we know of the immense amount of courage and heorism Siuan and Moiraine display, especially in the early books, as we learn more later in the series. There’s no reason to not actually show that front and center in the show. We’re not seeing the show from Rand’s perspective, where Moiraine seems like an all knowing antagonist, because of his frankly appalingly narrow worldview, which you swallowed whole without a critical thought in your brain.
Moiraine is heroic. And imperfect. As are they all. And I’m damn glad the show gets that.
