Yet every AS can Heal to a degree and Cloud Dancing involves weaves too darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 23/12/2009 05:41:42 PM
and were do we find out that anyone with the proper strength can do the weave? It's very possible that there are others out there like Flinn who struggle to make Gateways ... even to the point of not being able to make a usable Gateway.

I've been playing with some numbers since we've been having all of these OP strength debates - 20/12/2009 06:34:05 PM 1353 Views
There are 21 levels, not 100. More later. *NM* - 20/12/2009 07:23:18 PM 483 Views
RJ has said a number of times that the 21 level scale - 20/12/2009 07:35:25 PM 742 Views

Didn't you claim that Eggy+Rom+Lel cannot match a male forsaken? Now they can match Lanfear? - 21/12/2009 04:14:32 PM 728 Views
That only strengthens my point. - 21/12/2009 06:23:39 PM 757 Views

Not correct... - 22/12/2009 03:29:24 PM 872 Views
Believe as you like, I'm not here to convince you to otherwise, I'm stating how I read the evidence - 22/12/2009 06:01:24 PM 771 Views
You're reading the evidence wrong. - 22/12/2009 06:27:17 PM 754 Views
RJ also pointed out that Alivia's skill set as a weapon came in handy - 22/12/2009 07:40:35 PM 707 Views

I'll respond when you can actually provide a few actual quotes to support any of this - 23/12/2009 03:20:44 PM 753 Views

I agree that it's practically impossible to determine strength - 23/12/2009 03:19:49 PM 781 Views
How convenient. And by the way, it is NOT tied to a Talent. Anyone who is strong enough, can Travel. *NM* - 23/12/2009 04:36:24 PM 443 Views
Seriously go re-read the series, how can you have missed that Traveling is a Talent? - 23/12/2009 04:54:51 PM 686 Views

Beonin's Gateway - 23/12/2009 06:30:25 PM 759 Views
No, it makes her 25% as strong as Rand! Thanks for proving my model to be virtually perfect! - 23/12/2009 06:36:53 PM 733 Views
Nope, Beonin shouldn't be that strong! - 23/12/2009 06:48:30 PM 706 Views
