I've yet to be convinced that Rand's raw strength has increased. Macharius Send a noteboard - 20/12/2010 07:14:43 PM
I conceive it as being more likely that Rand's complete assimilation of LTT has multiplied his ability with the Power, instead of his strength. Rand now has four centuries of use and research from the pinnacle of the Age of Legends: surely there are many weaves that are more Power-efficient than what Rand was using before, as well as that long to increase his dexterity of weaves in general.

Regarding Egwene's statment that the entire Tower would not have been able to hold him, I took that to mean that the Pattern would not allow them to do so - rather than being unable to overpower him through sheer strength.

Rand's new strength level - Approximately the power of two men, 10 men or 100 men? Shannow - 20/12/2010 06:58:18 PM 2546 Views
it's an interesting question. I think he's more like a person drawing on the TP darius_sedai - 20/12/2010 07:05:43 PM 1073 Views
Good point. But I disagree that Rand or Moridin could draw limitless volumes of the True Power Shannow - 20/12/2010 07:20:25 PM 870 Views
I'm not so sure about that, we don't actually know that much about the TP darius_sedai - 20/12/2010 07:51:26 PM 831 Views
Don't we also know that it can be used by channelers only? Lohikaarme - 21/12/2010 06:31:08 PM 747 Views

Then he would be no different to Demandred or another powerful Forsaken... Shannow - 20/12/2010 07:18:44 PM 935 Views

His power is clearly increased darius_sedai - 20/12/2010 07:59:02 PM 1179 Views
I think what was demonstrated in TOM was clearly 250 times in strength from KOD or more..... djwilson300 - 21/12/2010 12:11:54 AM 950 Views
he actually did have close to 100 with him darius_sedai - 18/01/2011 12:10:16 AM 699 Views

Hampered and fought the entire way by Rand, so, no, that won't be necessary. *NM* Macharius - 21/12/2010 05:00:06 PM 374 Views
What book did you read? Kieran - 21/12/2010 07:45:38 PM 709 Views
It was "Lews Therin," not Lews Therin. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/01/2011 11:02:02 PM 365 Views
Lews Therin has been dead for 3,000 years. *NM* moratcorlm - 21/12/2010 09:24:49 PM 343 Views
I agree *NM* Onarishma - 20/12/2010 08:14:09 PM 354 Views
I agree as well. moratcorlm - 21/12/2010 01:14:28 AM 763 Views
Hey Shannow, what does your theory say about Rand's One Power level? Fanatic-Templar - 20/12/2010 08:03:12 PM 770 Views
I don't think he strength has significantly increased.... but he has fully accepted his LTT memories Onarishma - 20/12/2010 08:09:12 PM 802 Views
I think it's Naeff in that scene that directly says he's never seen so many weaves at once darius_sedai - 20/12/2010 08:24:54 PM 733 Views

well he's been around Rand for a while now ... probably since Logain took the Asha'man to Tear darius_sedai - 18/01/2011 12:16:01 AM 655 Views
I say the strength level - a little bit more than before, just a little. Skeeve the Great - 21/12/2010 12:50:08 AM 947 Views
His raw strength is the same Sidious - 21/12/2010 07:15:09 AM 901 Views
So, can Rand materialize out of light and float now like Ishy in TDR? *NM* cristopher lee - 21/12/2010 11:39:29 PM 362 Views
I've read it as two things have happened to him. callandor1000 - 22/12/2010 02:14:26 AM 817 Views
Re: I've read it as two things have happened to him. Kieran - 22/12/2010 05:21:30 AM 906 Views
All three have; don't forget Perrin forging Mah'alleinir. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/01/2011 11:06:12 PM 357 Views
