Right. So Egwene can shield someone of Egwene's own strength, plus Elayne, AND weave a dozen flows.. Shannow Send a noteboard - 03/02/2011 10:26:27 PM
...all at once?

He was holding two shields (one on Egwene and one on Elayne) while weaving a dozen flows together at the same time.


Egwene was perfectly correct that she could never duplicate what Rand was doing.

But despite the above technicalities, if you truly believe that Nynaeve was more powerful than Rand at this point in the series then you are utterly out of touch with this series.

I think the WO and Moiraine also Force Egwene as they know what's coming and need her darius_sedai - 04/02/2011 03:55:46 PM 1390 Views

The direct quotes contradict you... Shannow - 04/02/2011 06:23:03 PM 1387 Views

I think you may have misused the term - RJ meant 'effective' to mean something a bit different. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/02/2011 04:40:41 PM 1510 Views

We still don't know who is effectively stronger, and not sure if Asmo was equal to Rand by the end. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/02/2011 06:58:14 PM 1164 Views
See my post above, I would say Asmo is Weaker than Moggy... *NM* Kieran - 03/02/2011 07:10:07 PM 698 Views
I'm not certain either way. I think it all depends on the terms being used. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/02/2011 07:22:01 PM 1316 Views
