Halima is described as pretty much an average sized woman darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 07/06/2010 02:32:04 PM
If Aran'gar is much smaller than Balthamel. And as said, Balthamel's body might already have been better than what he actually needed to access all of his OP potential.

But if you would put super strong channelers like Lanfear, Rand or Ishy in a much smaller/less capable body, it might reduce their strength somewhat.

Although not perfect, this is IMO the best explanation we have yet, because the others make even less sense or were ruled out by BS.


Let's assume that makes her 5'5" ... which would make her about 120lbs (described as being slender and lush at the same time).

Balthamel (when he wasn't wasted away to nothing) as an average sized man would be 5'9" and about 160lbs.

Lanfear as a "tall woman" would around 5'9" and about 130lbs, Cyndane is maybe 5'2" and probably around 110lbs (possibly more since her boobs are always noted as huge).

Note that Balthamel would be 35lbs larger than Halima (about a 25% reduction in siz) and Lanfear about 20lbs bigger than Cyndane (15% reduction in size).

I based on an average BMI calculation for men and women. Since none of these people has ever been described as either "stout" or "rail thin", I think it is safe to assume that Balthamel lost significantly more size than Lanfear did.

Did the Finns take Moiraine and Lanfear's strength in the OP and swap them? FanEditor10 - 05/06/2010 09:05:37 PM 1812 Views

Post some Cyndane quotes. I thought she was still far more powerful than Mo Deadsy - 05/06/2010 10:30:02 PM 935 Views
or the difference between Lanfear and Cyndane is now in Moiraine darius_sedai - 07/06/2010 01:25:04 PM 883 Views
I don't want that Deadsy - 07/06/2010 01:36:09 PM 889 Views
I don't have a preference to be honest darius_sedai - 07/06/2010 02:13:38 PM 922 Views
no, cyndane is still the strongest female forsaken, and possibly strongest female channeler Oberonus - 05/06/2010 10:32:04 PM 2416 Views

This shield-theory was basically ruled out by BS Etzel - 07/06/2010 09:44:05 AM 1030 Views
That theory doesn't explain why Aran'gar and Osan'gar and Moridin darius_sedai - 07/06/2010 12:44:56 PM 995 Views
I think... Etzel - 07/06/2010 01:10:29 PM 956 Views

As pointed out, I think it would make sense. But yeah, we will see! *NM* Etzel - 07/06/2010 04:48:21 PM 887 Views
I lean towards Etzel's theory myself Sidious - 07/06/2010 04:34:55 PM 828 Views
I agree that it could have something to do with the body darius_sedai - 07/06/2010 04:42:04 PM 914 Views
I agree with Daurius ^ but I still think the Finn could've been the culprit... allow me to elaborate FanEditor10 - 08/06/2010 12:20:44 AM 974 Views
There are quotes Etzel - 08/06/2010 08:49:17 AM 929 Views
