Thanks. Because it will solve the entire riddle Shannow Send a noteboard - 03/05/2014 11:04:31 PM

...but I can't promise to give detail until after the Encyclopedia is out. Detail like this might or might not be included in the Encyclopedia; if it isn't, I can share at some point.

It is clear from the books that Elaida is not 82% as strong as Lanfear. Crystal clear. Two sisters like Romanda and Lelaine would then be 160% of Lanfear's strength, for example.

Yet that is what a linear 66 level list implies.

It puts Egwene at around 95% of Nynaeve's strength, and Elaida at around 92% of Egwene's strength.

So Egwene is only capable of feats requiring around 8% more power than Moiraine can channel?

Clearly this is not feasible.

So all we need are one or two clear references to relative strength buried somewhere in RJ's notes and I can unravel the entire premise.
