She says it was a weak dose, and it is already wearing off. Thus, two should certainly not be overkill, based on your strength list.


I'm sorry... Galina, one of the strongest Aes Sedai, can break the shield of the weakest WO, who is not all that weak by AS standards, so Egwene should be able to break the shield of some of the strongest Aes Sedai around? Are you thinking this through?


Nope. I place Nynaeve at 90-95 and Egwene around 70.

There are multiple reasons for why this happened. First off, by your list, the two Blacks (who were weaker than Liandrin) cannot be much stronger than 35 or so together. If you put Nynaeve at 70 (am I right), they were half her strength and were able to hold her for sometime. And this is assuming Nynaeve was at full strength at that time.

Now, by your measurement, Egwene is 50, Barasine is around 22. She is even weaker than the two Blacks holding Nynaeve with difficulty, yet Katarine and Silviana both think that generally she would be able to hold Egwene, even in the early morning where the weak Forkroot dosage would wear out completely. Which makes absolutely no sense.

If Egwene is 70, and Barasine is around 40-45, this makes much more sense. As does Silviana/Katerine at 50, holding her. It also explains how two Blacks, around 35 each, can hold Nynaeve at 90-95.
