I'm basically saying that the way a female channeler would achieve an effect is different from the way a male channeler would achieve an effect ie: a skill, strength minimum or ability that is important for one may not be important for the other.
So Semirhage, Lanfear and Graendal could stand against Demandred, Sammael and Ishamael because they were all equivalent after taking into account different factors.

Yes I agree with this. A man absorbs fire and a woman snuffs it out, but Ishamael and Lanfear could probably both put out a fire of similar magnitude, unless one of them was radically unskilled in a certain area compared to the other.

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

Compulsion=any other deadly weave. Doesn't really change matters

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*

And, of course, the male and female OP strength ranks might not even correlate that much

They correlate on some critical points

But then we are discussing the same thing

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

Probably
16/09/2009 06:31:27 PM

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

I do think Ishamel is special

He's special the same way any individual 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
