Re: Nynaeve matched Moghedien when Nynaeve was not close to her full potential yet...

women sense eachothers potential not current level of strength - if Nyneave was that much stronger then Moggy - Moggy by nature would have ran a mile - she wouldn't have known Nyneave hadn't reached her potential. Plus how does anyone know how far below her potential, Nyneave was at the time? Was she 805 below? 70% below 10% below? etc? nyneave is a WILDER - using one power long before she met an Aes Sedai - remember in one of the earlier books - she comments how she alone could channel what six aes sedai were channeling with an sar angreal - that would mean - A) she was already (near the beginning) already developed regarding one power - and B) if she wasn't than boy - her current level would be outsripping Lanfear, rand, ishmael - because by your estimation when she was hardly at her peak and much, much weaker -she was able to channel what 6 aes sedai (including full power Siuan sanche) with a sar angreal could!!! Imagine how much stronger she would be now?? This would make it hard to justify her being weaker than lanfear - and would make Sharina and alivia on scale with rand or higher - basically it would throw all current theories out of the water. So ITS SAFER TO ASSUME THAT EVEN THEN (I THINK BOOK 3/4) Nyneave was already near her peak - ie when she met Moggy head on!!!!
Thanks to Sanderson, we now have a DEFINITIVE female Forsaken strength list...
