It is... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 04/02/2011 06:05:05 PM

If Alivia is "considerably stronger" than Nynaeve on the female side, then Nynaeve is equivalent to a man who is considerably weaker than Rand on the male side.

And that's a best case scenario based on the assumption that Alivia is equal to Lanfear, which has not been established yet.

Rand is not considerably stronger than Sammael, therefore Nynaeve is not equal to Sammael's effective strength by a long shot.


Alivia was considerably stronger in WH before the Cleansing. Nynaeve has grown since then.

Huh? fionwe1987 - 03/02/2011 04:08:29 PM 1526 Views
Why do you deliberately misquote the text? Shannow - 03/02/2011 04:12:50 PM 1652 Views
You're deliberately being obtuse... as usual... fionwe1987 - 03/02/2011 10:07:09 PM 1516 Views
Right. So Egwene can shield someone of Egwene's own strength, plus Elayne, AND weave a dozen flows.. Shannow - 03/02/2011 10:26:27 PM 1536 Views

Fair comment, but my question then is: Shannow - 04/02/2011 11:26:25 AM 1342 Views
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 1440 Views

The direct quotes contradict you... Shannow - 04/02/2011 06:23:03 PM 1447 Views
actually the quote substantiates that Egwene is only slightly stronger than Moiraine in TSR darius_sedai - 04/02/2011 07:51:10 PM 1476 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 1562 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 1216 Views
See my post above, I would say Asmo is Weaker than Moggy... *NM* Kieran - 03/02/2011 07:10:07 PM 716 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 1361 Views
Effective strength means who can make the bigger fireball, the stronger shield, the thicker balefire Shannow - 03/02/2011 07:42:17 PM 1285 Views
