Where on earth does it say Nynaeve could do to Egwene and Elayne what Rand did? darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 04/02/2011 08:06:48 PM
The quote is specific to Egwene noting how many ways Rand has split his flows. A feat she things Nynaeve might be able to match ... and we learn later that splitting flows is about skill anyway.

Nynave couldn't even shield Elayne several books later!

Proof that Asmodean's effective One Power strength is greater than Moghedien's... Shannow - 03/02/2011 03:22:42 PM 2298 Views
Huh? fionwe1987 - 03/02/2011 04:08:29 PM 1237 Views
Why do you deliberately misquote the text? Shannow - 03/02/2011 04:12:50 PM 1254 Views
You're deliberately being obtuse... as usual... fionwe1987 - 03/02/2011 10:07:09 PM 1188 Views
Right. So Egwene can shield someone of Egwene's own strength, plus Elayne, AND weave a dozen flows.. Shannow - 03/02/2011 10:26:27 PM 1191 Views
fionwe1987 - 03/02/2011 10:46:40 PM 1060 Views
No. Egwene is very close to her full potential at the time... Shannow - 03/02/2011 11:44:20 PM 1165 Views
Bullshit... fionwe1987 - 04/02/2011 12:39:42 AM 1038 Views

Don't agree Sidious - 04/02/2011 08:30:02 AM 1152 Views
Fair comment, but my question then is: Shannow - 04/02/2011 11:26:25 AM 1037 Views
I think the WO and Moiraine also Force Egwene as they know what's coming and need her darius_sedai - 04/02/2011 03:55:46 PM 1042 Views
It is specifically stated that Egwene was forced by the rigours of the damane training... Shannow - 04/02/2011 05:15:20 PM 1048 Views
Egwene has been continually forced... fionwe1987 - 04/02/2011 06:02:08 PM 983 Views
The direct quotes contradict you... Shannow - 04/02/2011 06:23:03 PM 1085 Views
actually the quote substantiates that Egwene is only slightly stronger than Moiraine in TSR darius_sedai - 04/02/2011 07:51:10 PM 1091 Views

I think you may have misused the term - RJ meant 'effective' to mean something a bit different. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/02/2011 04:40:41 PM 1212 Views

We still don't know who is effectively stronger, and not sure if Asmo was equal to Rand by the end. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/02/2011 06:58:14 PM 889 Views
See my post above, I would say Asmo is Weaker than Moggy... *NM* Kieran - 03/02/2011 07:10:07 PM 571 Views
I'm not certain either way. I think it all depends on the terms being used. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/02/2011 07:22:01 PM 1111 Views
Effective strength means who can make the bigger fireball, the stronger shield, the thicker balefire Shannow - 03/02/2011 07:42:17 PM 958 Views
I still hold to the point that your analogy is false. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/02/2011 04:20:05 PM 1020 Views

Nynaeve has grown in strength, but she started nearly as strong as Moiraine! darius_sedai - 05/02/2011 05:35:05 AM 933 Views
Starting out at Moiraine's strength meant starting out at barely 30% of her full potential... Shannow - 05/02/2011 07:05:46 AM 986 Views
Nynaeve's strength Sidious - 05/02/2011 07:49:07 AM 1029 Views
Agree, Egwene has never been as strong as Nynaeve at any stage. *NM* darius_sedai - 05/02/2011 03:03:25 PM 659 Views
