Aginor burned out attempting to use the Eye, which Rand managed to do without burning out *NM*

Rand never matched Ishamael and Aginor in strength in the early books.
Aginor burned himself out. And Balthamel was killed by a Nym.
Ishamael was killed with Callandor.
At the beginning of tSR, Rand cannot even grab hold of the Power every time he tries. He clearly grows significantly in strength during tSR, and by the end of it, he is EXACTLY equal to the weakest male Forsaken - Asmodean.
So it is perfectly logical to suggest that Egwene and Elayne are at a more advanced level of development than Rand at the beginning of tSR, when he overwhelms them both like they are children.

I don't know. Elayne knows how strong a woman needs to be in order to activate the Bowl.

Egwene plus Aviendha roughly equal Lanfaer. And yet Lanfear isn't close to double Nynaeve's strength

Egwene and Aviendha combined in TFoH (when Avi had been channeling for only a few months)

The Eye was just a source of the Power - like a well, just bigger.

Not Elayne, Egwene in Cairhien. She went to meet the Windfinder and got kicked out. Wasn't awesome *NM*
