Nynaeve and Talaan are a bit more difficult - we know that at the time of the training that Nynaeve wasn't yet at her full potential. It's debatable if Talaan was or not. I honestly think Nynaeve is slightly stronger, but calling them equal makes a lot of sense.


Is there not some mention in one of the first passages where Talaan is introduced that when Nynave judges her strength, she feels that Talaan is very close if not equal in strength to herself and that she was fairly certain that, with how young Talaan is, she still has very far to go until she reaches her max thus putting Talaan's effective strength at a greater level than Nynaeve? I know that later in the series when Talaan confronts Nynaeve and pleads that Nynaeve take her to the White Tower to be enrolled into the novices, Nynaeve makes some comment about how young Talaan is and how the Windfinders would skin her alive if they stole her away; I vaguely remember Talaan heatedly responding that she was 5-10 years older than she appeared (hence proving even more that she is so strong in the power to have started slowing even earlier than Nynaeve herself). I know, I know, Nynaeve had a block to begin with, but she still had slowed in her blocked state when she was the Wisdom.

No, it's based on absolutely nothing - 19/11/2009 04:50:30 PM 737 Views

Glad to have you back. Now for the arguments to start! - 19/11/2009 04:29:01 PM 775 Views
Hmm... - 19/11/2009 04:47:12 PM 781 Views
Actually, you are the one placing Lanfear immensely high, my list reduced the strength difference... - 19/11/2009 05:05:18 PM 852 Views

Very good point *NM* - 20/11/2009 01:38:55 AM 338 Views
One possibility - 20/11/2009 03:18:55 AM 714 Views
All assumption - 20/11/2009 04:11:20 AM 659 Views
Why introduce that concept, if it is just of academic importance? - 20/11/2009 07:41:54 AM 629 Views
You don't know the significance of it at all - 20/11/2009 03:14:46 PM 747 Views

Is Graendal the only Forsaken NOT to overstate her own ability then? - 21/11/2009 01:53:28 PM 751 Views
Probably not in this case - 21/11/2009 11:34:25 PM 630 Views
Your rankings hinge ENTIRELY on whether you have Graendal correctly placed. - 20/11/2009 03:24:22 PM 582 Views
Yeah... entirely - 20/11/2009 04:33:45 PM 616 Views
Okay, "entirely" was a bad choice of word. - 20/11/2009 09:57:52 PM 631 Views

This perfectly matches my understanding of the situation. - 19/11/2009 07:06:31 PM 611 Views
Agreed! This make more sense than the previous list *NM* - 20/11/2009 12:07:37 AM 388 Views
Too many levels - 20/11/2009 01:48:24 AM 734 Views
You are completely right about too many levels. - 20/11/2009 04:17:17 AM 617 Views
21 levels is largely a myth - 20/11/2009 04:27:27 AM 624 Views

A little more evidence that Nynaeve is stronger than Semirhage - 29/11/2009 12:12:37 AM 629 Views
I agree that Graendal is the 2nd most powerful woman Forsaken - 29/11/2009 04:07:00 PM 589 Views
