A simple survey here. Brandon Sanderson said that of all of the female channelers in the world, only 6 females are stronger than Nynaeve. So this simple survey asks one question. Is Nynaeve of "very rare" strength?

Let me know what you think?

Edit1: To put this in perspective, there are 400 Shaido Wise Ones who can channel. So among the Aiel, there are approximately 3500-5000 female channelers. I'd guess that in Randland there are an equal number, probably another 4000 (plus or minus) female channelers. And then there are the damane. Who knows how many channelers there are there, but probably thousands. Anyway, there easily appears to be at least 10,000 female channelers just in Randland, the Aiel, and the damane the Seanchan brought with them from Seanchan. Of those 10,000+ female channelers, only 6 are stronger than Nynaeve. Okay, now I've put it in proper perspective.

Actually, you are adding a word that isn't there. - 21/11/2009 03:47:48 PM 980 Views
IMO, it's self evident that the female list only contains named characters - 21/11/2009 03:58:33 PM 647 Views
IMO, the above post by "Logain" is trolling and not worth the debating!! *NM* - 21/11/2009 04:01:08 PM 231 Views
I have a valid reason for asking. - 21/11/2009 04:05:52 PM 738 Views

I find it unlikely that a super strong channeler would end up being unimportant to the plot *NM* - 21/11/2009 11:54:43 PM 227 Views
This sounds semi-mystical... - 24/11/2009 04:45:52 PM 439 Views
Also, if they were that strong, they would then be important. - 29/11/2009 05:24:35 PM 408 Views
she's in the top 0.1% of channelers we know of - 21/11/2009 03:01:02 PM 533 Views
She's in the top 0.05% *NM* - 21/11/2009 11:41:42 PM 222 Views
so shes also in the top 0.1%? *NM* - 22/11/2009 12:04:00 AM 224 Views
Of course. My figure is more exclusive. *NM* - 22/11/2009 12:23:23 AM 201 Views
