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 1202 Views
Re: and some of the information given to us is flawed Watcher - 12/12/2011 07:38:59 PM 982 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 1015 Views
I find that unlikely Sidious - 12/12/2011 09:28:07 PM 968 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 1025 Views
Well.... Sidious - 13/12/2011 01:12:48 PM 1029 Views

Alivia may not even be stronger than Nynaeve... fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:14:06 AM 1089 Views
That wouldn't surprise me actually *NM* Sidious - 14/12/2011 07:46:47 AM 531 Views
Where would you place Egwene though? fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 09:13:46 AM 959 Views

Bonfire next to a candle indeed. Hehehe... Shannow - 14/12/2011 05:50:34 PM 1138 Views

The same "step" you refer to seperates Egwene from normal Aes Sedai according to RJ... Shannow - 14/12/2011 07:14:55 PM 972 Views
Yes! And...? fionwe1987 - 15/12/2011 02:53:37 AM 963 Views
Yes I would agree with that Sidious - 14/12/2011 08:24:35 PM 1119 Views

That makes no sense. TyrReborn - 14/12/2011 09:13:48 PM 1054 Views
Correct. Shannow - 14/12/2011 09:43:53 PM 1019 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 1022 Views

Because a difference of a few % is negligible, and not even worth mentioning... Shannow - 17/12/2011 10:54:49 AM 942 Views
How could you possibly use Gateways... fionwe1987 - 17/12/2011 12:40:03 PM 915 Views
Repyling at bottom of thread for space reasons... *NM* Shannow - 17/12/2011 02:57:43 PM 505 Views
Only slight diffence I have is regarding general AS strength darius_sedai - 30/12/2011 04:45:49 PM 995 Views
I think it was just Aes Sedai hyperbole RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/12/2011 09:51:00 PM 828 Views
And entirely based off your shared assumption. Fanatic-Templar - 14/12/2011 05:15:51 AM 1053 Views
Actually that's a lot of logical assumption. *NM* LadyLorraine - 13/12/2011 01:28:00 PM 474 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:06:15 AM 827 Views

Nah. Beyond the realm of possibility. Sorry, Shannow - 13/12/2011 05:12:40 PM 1071 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 1047 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 980 Views
But that is my point: it wouldn't be merely force of will. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/12/2011 09:40:17 PM 931 Views
What Rand is doing... fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:43:08 AM 1065 Views
That would make sense given Min's vision RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/12/2011 04:37:56 PM 876 Views
Wait.. I DIDN'T write that! fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:02:04 AM 934 Views

Might assume that Elayne is stronger in the Power than Aviendha. echooff - 19/12/2011 02:40:46 PM 1243 Views
I suspect he knows that... fionwe1987 - 19/12/2011 05:53:00 PM 933 Views
Nope...some maths problems in your post. Shannow - 19/12/2011 07:41:29 PM 966 Views
But 64 square feet is not Elayne's maximum... fionwe1987 - 20/12/2011 02:46:50 AM 936 Views
But Shielding is also relative. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/12/2011 09:35:11 PM 2193 Views
