It was the Seanchan DomA Send a noteboard - 17/05/2014 09:05:29 PM

Aes Sedai take it very, very slowly. It seems common for sisters not to have reached their full potential by the time they gain the shawl. The Aes Sedai have an innate fear of the seduction of saidar, they don't encourage any heavy channeling early on, working on building strength of will of the women first.

The sul'dam rather train damane intensively and daily. They mean them to gain their full strength as fast as possible.

Egwene then went on to channel as you'd expect from an Aes Sedai, not a novice or Accepted. She finished to gain her strength fairly rapidly. So do Elayne and Nynaeve who progressed much faster than if they had been in TV, but unlike Egwene they have not been forced, so they were still quite a few levels below their potential when the series ended (Nynaeve less so than Elayne, who probably halted her progress since her pregnancy).

Didn't Siuan say she took some responsibility, though? - 16/05/2014 01:24:35 PM 863 Views

Egwene says Siuan actually apologized for doing it and sounded uncharacteristically sincere - 18/05/2014 10:19:08 PM 860 Views

But that's the one thing of all her trials for which Siuan has no need to apologize - 18/05/2014 10:46:41 PM 798 Views
That doesn't make much sense... - 18/05/2014 11:24:45 PM 808 Views
More strength = less exhaustion. Channelers being tapped out was a problem at TG - 20/05/2014 03:23:19 AM 819 Views

Makes sense, I guess the Siuan connection is just unclear writing *NM* - 19/05/2014 02:20:45 AM 360 Views
