We've discussed this back and forth, but the fact remains that each sex uses the Power very differently. The volume of Power needed to achieve an effect with saidin might not be anywhere similar to the volume of Power needed to achieve an effect with saidar.
It would be like a much more powerful channeler with the Talent of Foretelling confronting a weaker one who was quite dexterous with Fire. The first is more powerful, but the second has an affinity for a flow that is very useful in a direct battle, regardless of gender. This might equalize things to the extent that the more powerful channeler will decide to approach the weaker one in a less direct way to avoid having to see whose combat skills are more potent.

Fact is, the bwb is untrustworthy

But, RJ himself said that the BWB was written from the standpoint of a scholar

It all depends on how you define "powerful"

So is graendal similar to lanfear then?

Graendal could fight Lanfear and win

Lanfear was more powerful than Graendal, but Cyndane has less power

But it did give her an edge, and against two forsaken. *NM*

Not at all

But Graendal confronted her... twice! *NM*

Apparently only the third time counts

But the third time's supposed to be lucky. So that won't count either. *NM*

I think, outside of semantics, our main disagreement doesn't lie amid the higher tiers

Probably

I only disagree on one point, I think they are all rather equal in potential, incl. Ishamael

I do think Ishamel is special

14/09/2009 07:40:29 PM

Yeah. Though I think its no competition. Graendal has got to be better than a walking tree!

They do imply that Graendal is a lot more dangerous than she looks

I've never underestimated Graendal

Yeah... her frivolity was always a red flag for me too.

To me, she is the most lethal.
