Re: But that doesn't explain why Leane and Siuan are now essentially equal - Edit 1

Before being Stilled Siuan was clearly stronger. Now she and Leane are pretty much equal in Power. If they had lost a set value from the Healing they would have maintained the same Power difference.
If you do the math (Siuan staring at 50 and Leanne at 45) they end up as a 16 and a 15 (very weak AS), which works cleaning if they each lost 2/3 of their strength yet wind up very close to each other.
I think a fixed % is far more likely in this case, for the very reason you state! The conduit needs the opposite source to be 100% effective.
