Nynaeve temporarily holds Logain shielded on her own, while 5 average strength Aes Sedai cannot... Shannow Send a noteboard - 27/01/2011 05:35:26 PM
Dagian is weaker than Siuan, and Siuan admits that she herself is only half as strong as the average Aes Sedai. So most likely those 6 women who struggled to shield Logain were each on average twice as strong as Dagian.

Meaning that the raw strength of the 6 women holding Logain could easily have been 12 times that of Dagian.

And according to them if just 5 of them had held the shield (e.g. about 10 times Daigian's strength) then Logain would have had a chance of breaking free.

Now I'm sorry, but it is pretty clear that the gulf from Daigian to Nynaeve is in the order of 8-10 TIMES or more.

So from the point of view of a normal Aes Sedai, if the gap between Nynaeve and Egwene was just the equivalent of 1 Dagian, then that's hardly going to be anything amazing, considering that you'll only be talking about the difference between someone who is as strong as 9 Dagian's versus someone who is as strong as 10 Dagians.

So I beg to differ. The gap between Nynaeve and Egwene is quite clearly significantly more than Dagian's strength.

Could Norla be the other woman stronger than Nynaeve? darius_sedai - 22/01/2011 06:54:36 PM 2047 Views
It's a nice idea, really newyorkersedai - 22/01/2011 07:04:03 PM 1103 Views
we don't know the strength difference between Cadsuane and Nynaeve darius_sedai - 22/01/2011 08:55:48 PM 1037 Views
Nynaeve is of course roughly twice as strong as Cadsuane... Shannow - 24/01/2011 10:26:49 PM 1137 Views
Still sticking to the nonsense I see... fionwe1987 - 25/01/2011 12:14:12 AM 944 Views
you and your assumptions crack me up ... there is zero evidence that Nyn is 2x Cadsuane darius_sedai - 26/01/2011 04:41:33 PM 965 Views

*blows out the friggin candle* ... why does anyone take EoTW Moiraine quotes seriously? darius_sedai - 26/01/2011 09:41:53 PM 971 Views
tGH, but I agree... fionwe1987 - 27/01/2011 04:58:08 AM 1044 Views
Re: tGH, but I agree... Sidious - 27/01/2011 07:29:15 AM 897 Views
I think it's a matter of perspective too darius_sedai - 27/01/2011 05:12:29 PM 851 Views
Nynaeve temporarily holds Logain shielded on her own, while 5 average strength Aes Sedai cannot... Shannow - 27/01/2011 05:35:26 PM 759 Views
Another inconsistency ... since 4 women held a shield on Rand who is Stronger than Logain EDIT darius_sedai - 27/01/2011 07:47:31 PM 848 Views
Not an inconsistency and if you analyse it... Shannow - 27/01/2011 08:21:39 PM 1080 Views
I'm not dismissing the quote I'm saying 6 weak women held Logain darius_sedai - 27/01/2011 09:21:34 PM 891 Views
Circular logic... Shannow - 27/01/2011 09:49:40 PM 958 Views
Explain to me how Moghedien is only 60% of Lanfear and managed to do anything? darius_sedai - 28/01/2011 06:25:28 PM 995 Views
Easy. And I dispute that all 6 women shielding Logain were only 10% stronger than an Accepted. Shannow - 29/01/2011 12:42:54 PM 729 Views
Not even gonna bother ... So many flawed statements in here it's not worth the effort to correct you *NM* darius_sedai - 29/01/2011 04:50:01 PM 438 Views

Therer is a direct quote in New Spring darius_sedai - 28/01/2011 02:20:40 PM 882 Views
Yup... *NM* fionwe1987 - 28/01/2011 02:42:15 PM 469 Views

Not really the case though darius_sedai - 28/01/2011 04:54:28 PM 724 Views
That's your evidence? You mean like Caddy defers to Nynaeve? Shannow - 28/01/2011 02:29:46 PM 818 Views

Strength in the Power and skill in the Power are not the same thing. Ghavrel - 22/01/2011 10:33:12 PM 876 Views

The 6 are... Shannow - 24/01/2011 10:09:33 PM 1144 Views
I disagree. If anything Semirhage is at the same strength level darius_sedai - 24/01/2011 11:10:30 PM 912 Views
Agree and disagree... Shannow - 25/01/2011 10:44:26 AM 870 Views
Re: Agree and disagree... Sidious - 25/01/2011 11:04:11 PM 802 Views
I didn't say Semirhage is definitely one of the 6, but his answer leaves it as a viable possibility. Shannow - 26/01/2011 07:36:52 AM 921 Views
I'd disagree with that statement. I think he definitively ruled her out with his comment darius_sedai - 26/01/2011 04:40:14 PM 720 Views

Lanfear and Cyndane are the same person *NM* Vidarfe - 25/01/2011 10:24:15 AM 405 Views
I think Shannows' point is that even with reduced strength, Lanfear is still the most powerful RugbyPlayingAshaman - 25/01/2011 05:30:34 PM 866 Views
Re: The 6 are... Sidious - 25/01/2011 10:51:40 PM 928 Views
This seems like the most likely case to me, but Sommeryn is unsubstantiated to date darius_sedai - 26/01/2011 04:43:27 PM 749 Views
I think there's a stronger case for Someryn than most women Sidious - 26/01/2011 05:07:03 PM 900 Views
I agree that she is the most likely candidate, but there is nothing beyond speculation darius_sedai - 26/01/2011 09:45:27 PM 771 Views
Talaan isn't stronger. She is the same strength and has been actively channeling for 6 years darius_sedai - 24/01/2011 11:14:31 PM 874 Views
I agree. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 24/01/2011 03:56:00 PM 814 Views
Possible... fionwe1987 - 25/01/2011 12:17:42 AM 785 Views
