What he did at Maradon is not inexplicable in terms of the One Power alone, without any strength or skill beyond what Lews Therin Telamon had (and yes, that means Ishamael, or Demandred, or Lanfear... probably most of the Forsaken, could've massacred an undefended army similarly). That he can command other abilities now in addition to saidin – command of his ta'veren nature, appearing painfully bright to Darkfriends, the Fisher King stuff – doesn't change that.

Rand's new strength level - Approximately the power of two men, 10 men or 100 men?

it's an interesting question. I think he's more like a person drawing on the TP

Good point. But I disagree that Rand or Moridin could draw limitless volumes of the True Power

I'm not so sure about that, we don't actually know that much about the TP

I've yet to be convinced that Rand's raw strength has increased.

Then he would be no different to Demandred or another powerful Forsaken...

Hampered and fought the entire way by Rand, so, no, that won't be necessary. *NM*

Hey Shannow, what does your theory say about Rand's One Power level?

I don't think he strength has significantly increased.... but he has fully accepted his LTT memories

I think it's Naeff in that scene that directly says he's never seen so many weaves at once

well he's been around Rand for a while now ... probably since Logain took the Asha'man to Tear

I say the strength level - a little bit more than before, just a little.

So, can Rand materialize out of light and float now like Ishy in TDR? *NM*

I've read it as two things have happened to him.
