Re: Then he would be no different to Demandred or another powerful Forsaken... Onarishma Send a noteboard - 20/12/2010 08:41:11 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.


They too had four centuries of use in the Age of Legends behind them.

Clearly, there is more than that going on with Rand.


Tavernness? and besides that when have we seen a Forsaken attack anyone who didn't have channelers for defense like Rand did? Never. Whenever Forsaken demonstrate their powers they are always fighting other channelers, weaker though they may be.

Not to mention whatever Rand did in the EotW. This was clearly a return to that concept of the Pattern aided anihilation of the Dark.

A further hypothesis is that Rand has further insight into how to detect and destroy the Shadow than a normal Light channeler. Again there has never been an instance of Ishmael or Demandred attacking shadowspawn (cause they would never have to) so it is plausible that with their shadow insight they could just as easily destroy so many shadowspawn but they have no such incentive.

Rand's new strength level - Approximately the power of two men, 10 men or 100 men? Shannow - 20/12/2010 06:58:18 PM 2488 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 997 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 804 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 768 Views
Don't we also know that it can be used by channelers only? Lohikaarme - 21/12/2010 06:31:08 PM 681 Views

I've yet to be convinced that Rand's raw strength has increased. Macharius - 20/12/2010 07:14:43 PM 1088 Views

His power is clearly increased darius_sedai - 20/12/2010 07:59:02 PM 1098 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 882 Views
he actually did have close to 100 with him darius_sedai - 18/01/2011 12:10:16 AM 632 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 350 Views
What book did you read? Kieran - 21/12/2010 07:45:38 PM 648 Views
It was "Lews Therin," not Lews Therin. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/01/2011 11:02:02 PM 339 Views
Lews Therin has been dead for 3,000 years. *NM* moratcorlm - 21/12/2010 09:24:49 PM 318 Views
I agree *NM* Onarishma - 20/12/2010 08:14:09 PM 327 Views
I agree as well. moratcorlm - 21/12/2010 01:14:28 AM 699 Views
Hey Shannow, what does your theory say about Rand's One Power level? Fanatic-Templar - 20/12/2010 08:03:12 PM 705 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 732 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 664 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 582 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 882 Views
His raw strength is the same Sidious - 21/12/2010 07:15:09 AM 838 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 338 Views
I've read it as two things have happened to him. callandor1000 - 22/12/2010 02:14:26 AM 749 Views
Re: I've read it as two things have happened to him. Kieran - 22/12/2010 05:21:30 AM 836 Views
All three have; don't forget Perrin forging Mah'alleinir. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/01/2011 11:06:12 PM 341 Views
