Liandrin says that if she linked with two of her black ajah associates, they could overwhelm Moghedien. This suggests that Moghedien is about that strong, and Cadsuane is not.



And how strong are Elle and Jancy?



But I'm not an advocate of Be'lal's statements. Fionwe said that he had respect for their strength, and I said he also mocked their strength. So both are opposing statements, from whatever sources he had.



I don't recall ever doubting that Elayne was much stronger than any Aes Sedai. I do recall Egwene stating that only Nynaeve had the power to match the Forsaken. I also recall Egwene saying that Rand was so strong he could have killed her and Elayne without any effort, but that Nynaeve might have a chance against him - which is one again a comparison of her relative strength compared to them.



Vague only because they contest your opinion. In fact, the lecture comes from Loial who is notoriously knowledgable about ancient information. In it he lists the famous False Dragons and evidence to show that six Sisters could not overwhelm any of them.

Rand has also never been overwhelmed by six women - they usually have thirteen go after him. Siuan also said that Logain nearly escaped a shield held by six women and had there been less, he probably would have escaped. If Logain can break nearly break a shield held by six women and he's weaker than Rand, I don't see how six could actually match his direct strength.



So in other words you merely explain away a battle that doesn't suit your arguments. If the series its self cannot be used as evidence, I would like to know what can be.



But you don't know that. Semirhage and Graendal were among the most skilled women in their own Age when there were literally millions of channelers around. Just because Egwene has one eye in the land of the blind doesn't put her on a par with the Forsaken.



Egwene herself acknowledges that only Nynaeve could face the Forsaken.



Her strength is far above average, but why would the Forsaken care if she was weaker and less skilled than they? They've often said that even if Rand is as powerful as Lews Therin, he knows a tenth of what they do and is not a threat. It's unlikely Semirhage is wiser than this. It was her own arrogance that got her caught in the first place.



Well you asked for a quote regarding that topic and I gave it. Amys shielded Egwene while she was sleeping and tired too. One could make excuses for any number of situations in this series.



Two Black Sisters could hold Nynaeve. It's unlikely that two would be needed for Egwene.



Well apart from the evidence I gave you, it has one demonstrable fact. You think that Elayne is strong enough in the Power that Nynaeve cannot shield her, but I've shown you that Nynaeve can shield both Moghedien and Talaan. Either you must claim that Elayne is stronger or equal to Moghedien/Talaan, or you must concede that shielding is poor evidence for strength when it is so easily disproven in other circumstances.
