Re: Thanks to Sanderson, we now have a DEFINITIVE female Forsaken strength list...

I dont think Mesaana is the lowest female forsaken - Egwene has met Moghedian - and knows her strength - she is aware of Nyneave's strength - she is even aware of Sharina's strength which potentially is greater than Nyneaves. So explain why would she say....'Light, but that woman had been strong'(page 578 Towers of Midnight) regarding Mesaana - if she had met women of greater strength. When u are accoustmed to being around Nyneave and Sharina who is YOUR OPINION are stronger - you wouldn't be in awe or even intimidated by one far less stronger - you may say to yourself - this woman is stronger than me - but not "...LIGHT, but that woman had been strong..." - which would translate in normal english as Jesus Christ F***k that woman is strong!!!!! Plus i know ppl go on abt Nyneave wasn't at her full potential when she confronted Moggy - however we know women can sense each others potential - and NOT THEIR current strength - if Moggy was weaker that much weaker than Nyneave i doubt she would have confronted her.... but if you say - Moggy was hoping her superior skills would win - surely after losing once - and knowing that this person is much stronger than you - MOggy by nature would have stayed clear of Nyneave - rather than try taking her on again. lastly on Nyneave - what makes you think she hadn't reached her full potential - or how far from full potential she was... i mean she could have already been 85%, 95% etc - you lot forget she is a WILDER aand had been using the power subconciously for a long time!!!
Thanks to Sanderson, we now have a DEFINITIVE female Forsaken strength list...
