I really don't see why that single quote, way early in the series, and by no means even remotely accurate, should give any definition to a possible strength list.

The only way the candle to bonfire comparison makes sense is if Egwene is strength 1 or 2 to Nynaeve's 95, which is so out of the realm of possibility as to be ludicrous.

The facts we have point to Nynaeve not being able to shield Elayne even when Elayne is drink-addled via her bond. We have Moghedien's statement that Elayne was definitely not a pushover in strength. We have RJ's statement that Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha were a step below the Foresaken. We have Egwene laying traps in her apartment, ready to duke it out with the OP with Mesaana, with no mention of even an angreal.

Yes, you are probably correct Sidious - 12/12/2011 06:26:07 AM 903 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 738 Views
I find that unlikely Sidious - 12/12/2011 09:28:07 PM 705 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 684 Views
Well.... Sidious - 13/12/2011 01:12:48 PM 742 Views

Alivia may not even be stronger than Nynaeve... fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:14:06 AM 786 Views
That wouldn't surprise me actually *NM* Sidious - 14/12/2011 07:46:47 AM 407 Views
Where would you place Egwene though? fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 09:13:46 AM 697 Views

The same "step" you refer to seperates Egwene from normal Aes Sedai according to RJ... Shannow - 14/12/2011 07:14:55 PM 672 Views
Yes! And...? fionwe1987 - 15/12/2011 02:53:37 AM 683 Views
Yes I would agree with that Sidious - 14/12/2011 08:24:35 PM 832 Views

That makes no sense. TyrReborn - 14/12/2011 09:13:48 PM 768 Views
Correct. Shannow - 14/12/2011 09:43:53 PM 703 Views

There's always room for error, and in general I agree with some of your placements... Shannow - 15/12/2011 07:03:01 AM 705 Views

Because a difference of a few % is negligible, and not even worth mentioning... Shannow - 17/12/2011 10:54:49 AM 615 Views
How could you possibly use Gateways... fionwe1987 - 17/12/2011 12:40:03 PM 650 Views
Repyling at bottom of thread for space reasons... *NM* Shannow - 17/12/2011 02:57:43 PM 377 Views
Only slight diffence I have is regarding general AS strength darius_sedai - 30/12/2011 04:45:49 PM 715 Views
I think it was just Aes Sedai hyperbole RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/12/2011 09:51:00 PM 572 Views
And entirely based off your shared assumption. Fanatic-Templar - 14/12/2011 05:15:51 AM 771 Views
Actually that's a lot of logical assumption. *NM* LadyLorraine - 13/12/2011 01:28:00 PM 344 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:06:15 AM 571 Views

Nah. Beyond the realm of possibility. Sorry, Shannow - 13/12/2011 05:12:40 PM 791 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 751 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 662 Views
But that is my point: it wouldn't be merely force of will. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/12/2011 09:40:17 PM 651 Views
What Rand is doing... fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:43:08 AM 776 Views
That would make sense given Min's vision RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/12/2011 04:37:56 PM 574 Views
Wait.. I DIDN'T write that! fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:02:04 AM 654 Views

Might assume that Elayne is stronger in the Power than Aviendha. echooff - 19/12/2011 02:40:46 PM 925 Views
I suspect he knows that... fionwe1987 - 19/12/2011 05:53:00 PM 650 Views
Nope...some maths problems in your post. Shannow - 19/12/2011 07:41:29 PM 691 Views
But 64 square feet is not Elayne's maximum... fionwe1987 - 20/12/2011 02:46:50 AM 646 Views
But Shielding is also relative. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/12/2011 09:35:11 PM 1899 Views
