It is obvious that if Nynaeve is not even at her full strength in Winter's Heart yet, then she must have been very far removed from her full strength when she matched Moghedien back in Shadow Rising.

That is not true at all. Women grow in strength steadily, and Nynaeve and Elayne haven't been forced to the extent Egwene has. Which means, even with a few jumps, Nynaeve's strength need not have risen all that much in the few months between tSR and WH. It just seems like a long time because the books came out less than once a year, but the real time difference between these two books isn't all that great.



There was significantly more time between Nynaeve first being in the Tower and her facing Moghedien than there was between that fight and the events of Winters Heart. The whole series has taken place in roughly a two year span, TSR was more than half way through the timeline even though it's an early book. Nynaeve could have conceivably been 90% when she faced Moghedien and 95% by WH. Same with Rand facing Asmodean... All of the main characters who are channelers grew in strength rapidly at the beginning and have slowed down since.

Yes, you are probably correct Sidious - 12/12/2011 06:26:07 AM 891 Views
Re: and some of the information given to us is flawed Watcher - 12/12/2011 07:38:59 PM 698 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 728 Views
I find that unlikely Sidious - 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? Shannow - 13/12/2011 07:09:56 AM 667 Views
Well.... Sidious - 13/12/2011 01:12:48 PM 729 Views

Alivia may not even be stronger than Nynaeve... fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:14:06 AM 772 Views
That wouldn't surprise me actually *NM* Sidious - 14/12/2011 07:46:47 AM 403 Views
Where would you place Egwene though? fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 09:13:46 AM 681 Views

The same "step" you refer to seperates Egwene from normal Aes Sedai according to RJ... Shannow - 14/12/2011 07:14:55 PM 662 Views
Yes! And...? fionwe1987 - 15/12/2011 02:53:37 AM 671 Views
Yes I would agree with that Sidious - 14/12/2011 08:24:35 PM 822 Views

Because a difference of a few % is negligible, and not even worth mentioning... Shannow - 17/12/2011 10:54:49 AM 601 Views
How could you possibly use Gateways... fionwe1987 - 17/12/2011 12:40:03 PM 633 Views

Only slight diffence I have is regarding general AS strength darius_sedai - 30/12/2011 04:45:49 PM 706 Views
I think it was just Aes Sedai hyperbole RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/12/2011 09:51:00 PM 556 Views
And entirely based off your shared assumption. Fanatic-Templar - 14/12/2011 05:15:51 AM 758 Views
Actually that's a lot of logical assumption. *NM* LadyLorraine - 13/12/2011 01:28:00 PM 339 Views

Nah. Beyond the realm of possibility. Sorry, Shannow - 13/12/2011 05:12:40 PM 777 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 741 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 650 Views
But that is my point: it wouldn't be merely force of will. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/12/2011 09:40:17 PM 638 Views
What Rand is doing... fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:43:08 AM 760 Views
That would make sense given Min's vision RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/12/2011 04:37:56 PM 561 Views
Wait.. I DIDN'T write that! fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:02:04 AM 639 Views

Might assume that Elayne is stronger in the Power than Aviendha. echooff - 19/12/2011 02:40:46 PM 915 Views
I suspect he knows that... fionwe1987 - 19/12/2011 05:53:00 PM 632 Views
Nope...some maths problems in your post. Shannow - 19/12/2011 07:41:29 PM 683 Views
But 64 square feet is not Elayne's maximum... fionwe1987 - 20/12/2011 02:46:50 AM 632 Views
But Shielding is also relative. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/12/2011 09:35:11 PM 1889 Views
