Didn't they say in New Spring that Moiraine's potential is stronger than Cadsuane? Seriana Sedai Send a noteboard - 20/08/2010 02:24:16 AM
Moiraine will have to succeed in establishing her dominance primarily through the force of her personality. But among Aes Sedai, inferior strength in the Power will make it all the more difficult to establish supremacy.

Being stronger in the Power is a pre requisite. Using that to hammer down her dominance will then be up to her. Nynaeve cannot do it. But Moiraine could - if she had Nynaeve's strength.

Hence, starting off with say double Cadsuane's strength will give Moiraine a huge advantage from the word go.

Because if Moiraine came back as her same old self this would be a non issue if I remember that scene correctly. At least in regards to Cadsuane.
If Moiraine didn't die but has simply been a prisoner this whole time, why should her power be any different? And if she is a prisoner why would they grant her any wishes? I know she's the Gandalf character and Gandalf came back stronger, but he, you know, died.
I can follow the logic of her being stilled, even if it would be pointless at this stage in the books because everyone knows she can be Healed now, but I really don't understand how she would come back more powerful. If it was me and they gave me wishes I would wish my happy ass out of there.
Of course I'm missing something significant that makes me look stupid, so please tell me what that is. ;)

Who will Moiraine come back as? malekithe - 18/08/2010 05:23:20 AM 1425 Views
I don't think she body-swapped with Lanfear Lord Haart - 18/08/2010 01:17:57 PM 714 Views
she won't be more powerful because there's no need for her to be more powerful Deadsy - 18/08/2010 01:18:56 PM 639 Views
Agreed. Moiraine would want more knowledge to gain power, not just more power *NM* newyorkersedai - 19/08/2010 03:52:05 AM 296 Views
i think it would be interesting if she traded her OP for knowledge Foxhead - 19/08/2010 07:13:01 PM 621 Views
That is an interesting thought. Seriana Sedai - 20/08/2010 02:16:15 AM 606 Views
her body but stilled or burned out. *NM* nigelgoboom - 18/08/2010 03:07:15 PM 286 Views
These aren't theories, since you don't write much at all in any of these, nor use much deduction *NM* newyorkersedai - 18/08/2010 03:19:35 PM 319 Views

This town ain't big enough for Moiraine AND Cadsuane. So Moiraine has to be more powerful than Caddy Shannow - 19/08/2010 12:19:17 PM 646 Views
Ya. Super-Mo is really going to scare her when the most powerful channeler in the world doesn't. *NM* Deadsy - 19/08/2010 01:26:46 PM 318 Views
It's a different matter among Aes Sedai Shannow - 19/08/2010 03:01:43 PM 589 Views
it will be a non issue *NM* Deadsy - 19/08/2010 03:30:18 PM 298 Views
What crock... fionwe1987 - 19/08/2010 09:50:34 PM 658 Views
No, I don't think so Sidious - 20/08/2010 04:48:58 PM 660 Views

Rand fired Caddy. The position is open. Nothing for Mo to fight Caddy for. NaClH2O - 19/08/2010 04:44:38 PM 608 Views
Exactly. Seriana Sedai - 20/08/2010 02:15:04 AM 675 Views
Hi 'Shelle! *NM* NaClH2O - 20/08/2010 11:44:48 AM 298 Views
That's before Rand had his "buddha" experience on Dragonmount. He now loves everyone... Shannow - 20/08/2010 09:59:41 AM 642 Views
And you know this how? You heard him speaking ex-cathedra from your navel? NaClH2O - 20/08/2010 11:51:03 AM 605 Views

Not outmuscling, but outsmarting. Should not be any difficulty whatsoever for Moiraine BlackAdder - 19/08/2010 07:45:08 PM 580 Views
Actually, very difficult... fionwe1987 - 19/08/2010 09:51:36 PM 598 Views
How did she escape from Caddy's entourage in New Spring? BlackAdder - 19/08/2010 09:59:27 PM 613 Views
Well... fionwe1987 - 19/08/2010 10:19:17 PM 595 Views
It's not Mo's or Caddy's choice, its Rand's NaClH2O - 20/08/2010 12:09:45 PM 599 Views
Sure. Just like he "chose" to have Cadsuane force herself into his entourage... Shannow - 20/08/2010 01:39:40 PM 557 Views
But he fired her didn't he. She was the one who hung around, with her face hidden. "NM" NaClH2O - 20/08/2010 03:20:25 PM 566 Views
Yes, sunshine. After he was contaminated by the True Power and descended into madness... Shannow - 20/08/2010 04:02:27 PM 584 Views
he was mad well before he channeled TP, cupcake NaClH2O - 20/08/2010 04:35:00 PM 572 Views
As you like. Your definition of "choice" is a rather loose one, though. Shannow - 20/08/2010 04:40:19 PM 554 Views
except that the "tumor" saved his life at least once "NM" NaClH2O - 21/08/2010 12:49:22 PM 610 Views
