I don't know where you get all your figures from. They seem to be completely random and pulled out of a hat and not at all verifiable.Why was Nynaeve two-thirds of her full strength in book 4 and not at 50% or 90%?

Moghedien is conceivably much weaker than the others because she states that others in the AOL considered her not to be a threat meaning that many tiers exist above her. She has also never been seen with the other Forsaken prior to Moridin appearing and providing her with protection as his slave. Considering outright murder is encouraged in the Shadow, it is illogical to think that anyone is much weaker in the remaining 12 Forsaken. Any of the Forsaken would instantly kill a weaker opponent and yet they cannot do so with each other and dare not risk it. It therefore makes sense to suggest that all of the Forsaken are clustered close to maximum strength. They are after all the strongest channelers in the world.

Yes, you are probably correct Sidious - 12/12/2011 06:26:07 AM 963 Views
Re: and some of the information given to us is flawed Watcher - 12/12/2011 07:38:59 PM 774 Views
The real question is - What percentage of her full strength did Nynaeve achieve by Book 4? Shannow - 12/12/2011 08:31:30 PM 802 Views

Easy question for you: Based on the evidence, what percentage of her strength was Nynaeve at in tSR? Shannow - 13/12/2011 07:09:56 AM 770 Views
Well.... Sidious - 13/12/2011 01:12:48 PM 802 Views

Alivia may not even be stronger than Nynaeve... fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:14:06 AM 857 Views
That wouldn't surprise me actually *NM* Sidious - 14/12/2011 07:46:47 AM 433 Views
Where would you place Egwene though? fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 09:13:46 AM 767 Views

Yes! And...? fionwe1987 - 15/12/2011 02:53:37 AM 757 Views
Yes I would agree with that Sidious - 14/12/2011 08:24:35 PM 895 Views

I think it was just Aes Sedai hyperbole RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/12/2011 09:51:00 PM 631 Views
And entirely based off your shared assumption. Fanatic-Templar - 14/12/2011 05:15:51 AM 835 Views
Actually that's a lot of logical assumption. *NM* LadyLorraine - 13/12/2011 01:28:00 PM 373 Views

Nah. Beyond the realm of possibility. Sorry, Shannow - 13/12/2011 05:12:40 PM 854 Views
There are a number of comments from Q&As that shows that this is possible and more complex. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/12/2011 08:23:49 PM 829 Views
None of which I disagree with, but a far cry from women being weaker just due to believing it... Shannow - 13/12/2011 08:39:40 PM 729 Views
But that is my point: it wouldn't be merely force of will. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/12/2011 09:40:17 PM 720 Views
What Rand is doing... fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:43:08 AM 839 Views

Might assume that Elayne is stronger in the Power than Aviendha. echooff - 19/12/2011 02:40:46 PM 999 Views
I suspect he knows that... fionwe1987 - 19/12/2011 05:53:00 PM 720 Views
Nope...some maths problems in your post. Shannow - 19/12/2011 07:41:29 PM 757 Views
But 64 square feet is not Elayne's maximum... fionwe1987 - 20/12/2011 02:46:50 AM 713 Views
