How could you possibly use Gateways... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 17/12/2011 12:40:03 PM
... after Androl? Your theory would put him at the very highest echelons of Power, but he's nowhere there.

Now, he has this talent to a marked extent, but there's plenty of evidence that Rand has some Gateway talent. His larger size gateways could simply be a result of that. Or Logain could be really bad with Gateways. We just have no clue about this.

I think using shielding or Traveling as a real measure of Power strength is antiquated. And the revelation about the extent to which Talent matters (as compared to strength), only makes it clearer that just base strength isn't even close to a real measure of the effective strength a channeler brings to bear in a duel. Mesaana may well be exactly as strong as Semirhage in the Power, but still be capable of being slotted as a weaker Foresaken because she is simply less effective.

Yes, you are probably correct - 12/12/2011 06:26:07 AM 890 Views

The real question is - What percentage of her full strength did Nynaeve achieve by Book 4? - 12/12/2011 08:31:30 PM 727 Views
I find that unlikely - 12/12/2011 09:28:07 PM 696 Views
Easy question for you: Based on the evidence, what percentage of her strength was Nynaeve at in tSR? - 13/12/2011 07:09:56 AM 666 Views
Well.... - 13/12/2011 01:12:48 PM 729 Views

I think it was just Aes Sedai hyperbole - 15/12/2011 09:51:00 PM 555 Views
And entirely based off your shared assumption. - 14/12/2011 05:15:51 AM 758 Views
Actually that's a lot of logical assumption. *NM* - 13/12/2011 01:28:00 PM 338 Views

Nah. Beyond the realm of possibility. Sorry, - 13/12/2011 05:12:40 PM 776 Views
There are a number of comments from Q&As that shows that this is possible and more complex. - 13/12/2011 08:23:49 PM 741 Views
None of which I disagree with, but a far cry from women being weaker just due to believing it... - 13/12/2011 08:39:40 PM 650 Views
But that is my point: it wouldn't be merely force of will. - 13/12/2011 09:40:17 PM 637 Views
What Rand is doing... - 14/12/2011 03:43:08 AM 760 Views

Might assume that Elayne is stronger in the Power than Aviendha. - 19/12/2011 02:40:46 PM 914 Views

Nope...some maths problems in your post. - 19/12/2011 07:41:29 PM 681 Views
