But not to the same extent as with gateways... Shannow Send a noteboard - 03/01/2010 07:49:15 PM

Aes Sedai link when they face a large threat - clearly everything in channeling is enchanced even if women alone are involved. I don't see why Verin would link with the three other women if individually they could attack Graendal with equal potency.

Precision weaving is one of the most underestimated skills in the series, IMO.


One Aes Sedai and One Ashaman can make a gateway larger than Rand, but one of the strongest Ashaman linked with TWO Aes Sedai only match Demandred in the potency of their weaves.

Clearly linking allows one Ashaman and one Aes Sedai to exceed Rand's gateway size, but not to exceed the potency of his weaves in general.

13 women can make a gateway 50 times bigger than Rand, yet 13 linked women clearly are not 50 times more potent than Rand in general.

If that was the case, then how is it possible that some circles of 13 are not strong enough to overwhelm the stongest man, according to Asmodean?


The gateway issue is tied to Asmodean's statement that there are limits for gateways made by a single person, irrespective of the strength of the person in question. Clearly, adding additional people dramatically enlarges the gateway in excess of the normal linking advantage.

Gateways are somehow linked to the number of people in the circle in a way that is additional to the normal linking benefits.

Magnitude of the One Power strength difference between the strongest and weakest Aes Sedai... Shannow - 02/01/2010 03:47:50 PM 3962 Views
Simple proof that you are wrong... fionwe1987 - 02/01/2010 04:17:25 PM 1042 Views
linking gives you a huge advantage for gateways Oberonus - 02/01/2010 04:49:06 PM 744 Views
And your proof for that? fionwe1987 - 02/01/2010 06:08:24 PM 712 Views
Shannow gave the proof in his 2nd/3rd post *NM* Oberonus - 02/01/2010 09:26:03 PM 311 Views

No... Shannow - 02/01/2010 05:38:52 PM 695 Views
Actually, it is even greater than I thought... Shannow - 02/01/2010 07:45:37 PM 641 Views
Further proof that the Gateway theory on strength is not accurate darius_sedai - 03/01/2010 02:08:17 AM 613 Views
but.... Sidious - 03/01/2010 09:17:46 AM 682 Views
You are talking of a Mixed link darius_sedai - 03/01/2010 02:35:01 PM 586 Views
Irrespective of what you find "improbable", the rest of us have to stick to the evidence... Shannow - 03/01/2010 03:11:55 PM 583 Views
Indeed Sidious - 03/01/2010 04:04:15 PM 625 Views
Who said I was arguing that? darius_sedai - 03/01/2010 05:26:34 PM 585 Views
You are confusing linking gains in gateways with normal linking gains... Shannow - 03/01/2010 06:49:04 PM 565 Views
That's nonsense. Nothing says other weaves are not similarly enhanced. fionwe1987 - 03/01/2010 07:29:06 PM 611 Views
I agree Sidious - 03/01/2010 07:33:07 PM 562 Views

It's a Talent on top of the linking gains darius_sedai - 03/01/2010 08:11:01 PM 538 Views
This begs the question... Why can't four Aes Sedai defeat Rand? fionwe1987 - 03/01/2010 05:02:32 PM 689 Views
Not to mention 1 Beonin can create a gateway 1/4 the size of Rand darius_sedai - 05/01/2010 05:22:24 AM 616 Views
Too simplistic overall darius_sedai - 03/01/2010 01:32:28 AM 775 Views
