Can a normal Aes Sedai really split her flows three ways and simultaneously shield two full Ashaman?
In Brandon's view she can, but this is not at all the impression that RJ has conveyed up to now.
This is tricky. Splitting flows requires skill, and would also diminish your strength accordingly with each split. If the Ashaman were holding saidin, then absolutely no way could she shield them both.
We don't really know how strong the men were that Pevara shielded ... She is very strong in terms of AS and obviously quite skilled ... The men didn't have anywhere close to her skill level and may not have had knowledge of how to defend against a woman's shield. I just saw this as a sign that the top tier AS are much stronger than some posters have given credit for over the years. Hell RJ gave us an example back in KOD (I think) when Sheraine held shields on 3 AS in Mat's camp. Granted she didn't need to cut them off from the source, but she did manage to hold them.
Domani Drag Queen in the White Tower ... Aran'gar watch out!
So how much of AMOL was real - i.e. RJ's intention, as opposed to Branfiction?

There are legitimate complaints out there, but most of these don't qualify.
