That was kind of my point... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 11/06/2010 12:19:23 PM
Egwene was only held by 1 when Forkroot was in her system or she was asleep. Every morning there were 2 AS there waiting for her with a cup of Forkroot.

Amys, who is probably around a Kiruna or perhaps a Sheriam is a little more than 50% of Egwene and could hold a shield on her for a short time, but admitted that Egwene would have broken it soon.

KoD
Honey in the Tea

That first morning before dawn, in Silviana’s study, she did her best while the Mistress of Novices plied a hard-soled slipper on her bared bottom.

...

Egwene offered her no courtesies, yet Alviarin only gave her a baleful glare before entering Silviana’s study. A fine line.

A little down the corridor, a pair of Reds stood watching, one round-faced, the other slender, both cool-eyed, with shawls draped along their arms so the long red fringe was displayed prominently. Not the same pair who had been there when she woke, but they were not present by happenstance.

Clearly 2 Reds are there at all times ... including when the Forkroot is out of her system.

See, if it was the Forkroot which allowed one sister to hold her, it makes no sense that Katerine had a problem with both her and Barasine being assigned to hold Egwene while she slept. By that point, the Forkroot was already wearing off, so if two were indeed needed to hold Egwene, Katrine wouldn't have argued, and Silviana wouldn't have said "I want two there because she's tricky". She'd have said: "Duh! She's strong enough that either one of you cannot hold her alone!".

Maria's answer to question 20 is ground-breaking! Logain - 10/06/2010 07:36:40 PM 1212 Views
No, it merely means that the Bell Curve does not refer to absolute strength... Shannow - 10/06/2010 07:42:31 PM 1073 Views
See the question again man! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:48:57 PM 1042 Views
That contradicts your assertion that Moiraine is stronger than the average woman... Shannow - 10/06/2010 07:50:11 PM 1134 Views
How? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:54:41 PM 1059 Views
I need to re-evaluate nothing! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:46:20 PM 1060 Views
Think logically for a moment... Shannow - 10/06/2010 07:49:10 PM 896 Views
Who said Egwene is twice as strong as Moiraine? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:52:27 PM 1143 Views
Aviendha did in FoH... Shannow - 10/06/2010 07:54:32 PM 888 Views
Nope! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:55:55 PM 1058 Views

Well then we disagree Sidious - 10/06/2010 08:18:10 PM 1029 Views

RJ writes that Amys cannot hold Egwene. BS writes that Barasene can. Who are you gonna believe? Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:31:35 PM 884 Views
It wasn't BS... both were RJ! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:41:54 PM 967 Views
In that case, there is no problem... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:45:05 PM 981 Views
But that isn't what the text says... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:57:42 PM 841 Views
How can Egwene be strong enough to overcome Katerine and Silviana together then? Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:07:36 PM 1078 Views
She also says Egwene is Aes Sedai in the same sentence... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:25:16 PM 1103 Views
Yeah, both were RJ Sidious - 10/06/2010 08:49:13 PM 951 Views

Here's what is clear: Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:02:41 PM 947 Views
IMO it's easy to disprove Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:22:23 PM 926 Views
Dude... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:27:34 PM 833 Views

Thought on this darius_sedai - 13/06/2010 01:09:29 PM 898 Views
yet 4 women can still hold Rand in LoC ... he can't break the Shield until it's down to 3 darius_sedai - 13/06/2010 12:47:43 PM 782 Views
Have to agree with Sidious on this point darius_sedai - 11/06/2010 02:49:58 AM 881 Views
That was kind of my point... fionwe1987 - 11/06/2010 12:19:23 PM 611 Views
of course Katerine would have complained darius_sedai - 12/06/2010 12:53:31 PM 1003 Views
The rate forkroot wears off? Rurouni_Kenshin - 16/06/2010 12:36:38 PM 958 Views
You missed that she isn't being given Forkroot at night at all! fionwe1987 - 16/06/2010 04:47:59 PM 898 Views
Typos, screwed up what I meant Rurouni_Kenshin - 17/06/2010 02:31:50 AM 907 Views
You are... fionwe1987 - 17/06/2010 04:32:47 AM 1124 Views
Maria's other answer adresses this... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:14:54 PM 779 Views
Then one Aes Sedai cannot shield her. But one did. fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:16:41 PM 904 Views
You can be much weaker than someone, and hold them shielded, if they are already cut off... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:19:15 PM 878 Views
But, if you are much stronger, you can break that shield... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:22:25 PM 896 Views
Easy... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:24:59 PM 858 Views
What has that got to do with it? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:32:56 PM 1046 Views
Amys is not LESS than half of Egwene's strength. You cannot hold someone if you are LESS than half.. Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:47:41 PM 959 Views
Amys is as strong as Moiraine, at the most one level lower. Barasine is weaker than Katarine, who... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:00:26 PM 1089 Views
I can agree with that. Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:09:07 PM 848 Views
How can you agree with it? Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:13:55 PM 1047 Views
I'm thinking Berowin here... Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:16:41 PM 1051 Views
Exactly. fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:18:19 PM 907 Views
... Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:12:21 PM 826 Views
Agreed, but... Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:13:59 PM 1002 Views

Good point... Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:18:53 PM 1012 Views
Or, you know, you're wrong? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:27:55 PM 879 Views
Re: Good point... Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:28:02 PM 1085 Views

Rand seems to shield Egwene and Elayne TOGETHER, pretty easily... Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:54:03 PM 1429 Views
That's fairly simple, actually... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 10:08:53 PM 1076 Views
Nope. Rand was also cut off from the Source when he broke a shield held by 3 Aes Sedai... Shannow - 10/06/2010 11:18:41 PM 1027 Views
Because that channeler is much stronger? I'm not getting your confusion here. *NM* fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 11:27:31 PM 495 Views
Your Aes Sedai are close to the average woman in strength, right... Shannow - 10/06/2010 11:42:01 PM 1089 Views
You are making a couple of mistakes darius_sedai - 13/06/2010 02:28:41 PM 946 Views
You're missing an important point... fionwe1987 - 14/06/2010 11:10:55 PM 937 Views
Yes, what do you mean? You are actually proving our point... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:10:50 PM 808 Views
No, here's the quote: I hate having to pull out my books with their yellowed pages... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:01:54 PM 869 Views
Why would she need surprise against two? That was against five of them... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:04:57 PM 886 Views
That makes no sense whatsoever... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:06:53 PM 852 Views
Simply this... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:13:42 PM 872 Views
Very poor evidence Sidious - 10/06/2010 08:11:26 PM 1005 Views

Re: No it isn't... Sidious - 10/06/2010 08:32:17 PM 1025 Views
no she said Egwene is stronger than Amys and Melaine combined darius_sedai - 11/06/2010 12:46:29 AM 949 Views
The actual quote says Amys and Melaine combined... Shannow - 11/06/2010 12:25:07 PM 998 Views
Here's the problem with that... fionwe1987 - 11/06/2010 12:42:41 PM 856 Views

She cannot be because she isn't. Silviana can shield Egwene alone, for God's sake. So can Amys! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:56:26 PM 778 Views

BS didn't answer with "Read and find out" Etzel - 12/06/2010 03:28:05 PM 898 Views
We were speaking about Maria giving a RAFO on the topic, not Sanderson. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 13/06/2010 12:05:17 AM 511 Views
Actually she said "No"... *NM* Etzel - 13/06/2010 01:06:18 AM 607 Views
I'll rephrase then. It was about Maria saying that she considered giving a RAFO on the question. TaskmasterJack - 13/06/2010 01:44:19 AM 901 Views
Yeah, sorry for the rolly-eyed smiley! Was a bit mean... Etzel - 13/06/2010 09:19:13 AM 909 Views
I agree with Jack and Sidious and not with you. Tom - 11/06/2010 03:20:30 PM 995 Views

I agree. I think she is saving the good stuff for the encyclopedia. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/06/2010 04:17:07 PM 478 Views
Yeah. I do think she's taking advantage of these poor saps, though. callandor1000 - 17/06/2010 03:52:33 PM 1430 Views
