I really don't see why that single quote, way early in the series, and by no means even remotely accurate, should give any definition to a possible strength list.

The only way the candle to bonfire comparison makes sense is if Egwene is strength 1 or 2 to Nynaeve's 95, which is so out of the realm of possibility as to be ludicrous.

The facts we have point to Nynaeve not being able to shield Elayne even when Elayne is drink-addled via her bond. We have Moghedien's statement that Elayne was definitely not a pushover in strength. We have RJ's statement that Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha were a step below the Foresaken. We have Egwene laying traps in her apartment, ready to duke it out with the OP with Mesaana, with no mention of even an angreal.

Yes, you are probably correct Sidious - 12/12/2011 06:26:07 AM 1097 Views
Re: and some of the information given to us is flawed Watcher - 12/12/2011 07:38:59 PM 885 Views
The real question is - What percentage of her full strength did Nynaeve achieve by Book 4? Shannow - 12/12/2011 08:31:30 PM 919 Views
I find that unlikely Sidious - 12/12/2011 09:28:07 PM 877 Views
Easy question for you: Based on the evidence, what percentage of her strength was Nynaeve at in tSR? Shannow - 13/12/2011 07:09:56 AM 936 Views
Well.... Sidious - 13/12/2011 01:12:48 PM 916 Views

Alivia may not even be stronger than Nynaeve... fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:14:06 AM 967 Views
That wouldn't surprise me actually *NM* Sidious - 14/12/2011 07:46:47 AM 487 Views
Where would you place Egwene though? fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 09:13:46 AM 871 Views

The same "step" you refer to seperates Egwene from normal Aes Sedai according to RJ... Shannow - 14/12/2011 07:14:55 PM 866 Views
Yes! And...? fionwe1987 - 15/12/2011 02:53:37 AM 877 Views
Yes I would agree with that Sidious - 14/12/2011 08:24:35 PM 1013 Views

That makes no sense. TyrReborn - 14/12/2011 09:13:48 PM 951 Views
Correct. Shannow - 14/12/2011 09:43:53 PM 904 Views

There's always room for error, and in general I agree with some of your placements... Shannow - 15/12/2011 07:03:01 AM 907 Views

Because a difference of a few % is negligible, and not even worth mentioning... Shannow - 17/12/2011 10:54:49 AM 826 Views
How could you possibly use Gateways... fionwe1987 - 17/12/2011 12:40:03 PM 823 Views
Repyling at bottom of thread for space reasons... *NM* Shannow - 17/12/2011 02:57:43 PM 460 Views
Only slight diffence I have is regarding general AS strength darius_sedai - 30/12/2011 04:45:49 PM 903 Views
I think it was just Aes Sedai hyperbole RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/12/2011 09:51:00 PM 736 Views
And entirely based off your shared assumption. Fanatic-Templar - 14/12/2011 05:15:51 AM 958 Views
Actually that's a lot of logical assumption. *NM* LadyLorraine - 13/12/2011 01:28:00 PM 432 Views

Nah. Beyond the realm of possibility. Sorry, Shannow - 13/12/2011 05:12:40 PM 974 Views
There are a number of comments from Q&As that shows that this is possible and more complex. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/12/2011 08:23:49 PM 942 Views
None of which I disagree with, but a far cry from women being weaker just due to believing it... Shannow - 13/12/2011 08:39:40 PM 858 Views
But that is my point: it wouldn't be merely force of will. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/12/2011 09:40:17 PM 841 Views
What Rand is doing... fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:43:08 AM 954 Views
That would make sense given Min's vision RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/12/2011 04:37:56 PM 765 Views
Wait.. I DIDN'T write that! fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:02:04 AM 841 Views

Might assume that Elayne is stronger in the Power than Aviendha. echooff - 19/12/2011 02:40:46 PM 1131 Views
I suspect he knows that... fionwe1987 - 19/12/2011 05:53:00 PM 833 Views
Nope...some maths problems in your post. Shannow - 19/12/2011 07:41:29 PM 866 Views
But 64 square feet is not Elayne's maximum... fionwe1987 - 20/12/2011 02:46:50 AM 833 Views
But Shielding is also relative. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/12/2011 09:35:11 PM 2082 Views
