I agree with Daurius ^ but I still think the Finn could've been the culprit... allow me to elaborate FanEditor10 Send a noteboard - 08/06/2010 12:20:44 AM
Most of the responses to this have been "The Finn can't do that!" but nobody has quotes from RJ or BS to back it up, and every other theory here sounds completely un-WoT.

Strength in the power being limited by the size of your body doesn't sound like anything we're ever heard before. We've heard more to support the opposite, in fact.

Cyndane being shielded by (The DO/Moridin/TP/SH power etc.) has been debunked by Brandon and Maria.

Sooooooooooo...
The basic idea is that a specific soul needs at least a specific capable body to access all of its OP potential. It's e.g. possible that a body like Aran'gar's would be the minimum for Balthamel to access all of his potential. Or Aran'gar's body might even be better than what Balthamel would at least need.

Contrary to that, Lanfear needs in order to access all of her top strength (apparently the strongest a woman can be) a body, which is somewhat bigger than Cyndane's. Of course, that such a power drop happens anyway because of a transmigration must be a very seldom exception, otherwise all Forsaken would know about it.

However, this mystery is certainly something that will be revealed soon!


So far we have seen nothing to suggest this theory. I still maintain that the Finns could have done it because she is Shadowsouled. The Finns are very mysterious, but I don't think they take anything associated with the dark one lightly.

Does anyone else think that changing someone's strength in the power is not that much different from, say, filling someone's mind with thousand year old memories, and giving him a ter'angreal that Elayne has no idea how it could have even been made?

Doesn't seem so far fetched that they got their hands on an angry Forsaken, imprisoned her, and Ransomed her out of Finnland, the cost being her own strength in the power, one of her most precious attributes? They couldn't very well make her give up her love of LTT or her beauty (although Moridin took care of that).

I'm just saying, I'm not ruling out the Finn as a possibility.

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 936 Views
or the difference between Lanfear and Cyndane is now in Moiraine darius_sedai - 07/06/2010 01:25:04 PM 883 Views

This shield-theory was basically ruled out by BS Etzel - 07/06/2010 09:44:05 AM 1030 Views
