Re: Correct. Sidious Send a noteboard - 15/12/2011 05:54:37 AM
It's been stated multiple times that 'angreals count as a multiplicative of the channelers strength. Angreals double or triple channeler strength. So you want me to believe that Cyndane is as strong as the second strongest channeler alive, times 2?

I'm calling shenanigans.

They were on equal footing because Cyndane knows how to duel with the power, whereas Alivia just knows to stand in one place and blast away.


Sidious is being a bit difficult today. He actually meant what you said, but apparently did not feel the need to elaborate.

You are entirely correct. Jordan said that it was Cyndane's superior knowledge that allowed her to stand toe to toe with Alivia, despite being overwhelmingly outmatched from a strength perspective.


Its the same. Cyndane's skill made her equal to Alivia's greater raw strength, which is exactly my point. It implies that Egwene and Aviendha combined need to be much greater in raw strength to face one of them.

The real question is - What percentage of her full strength did Nynaeve achieve by Book 4? Shannow - 12/12/2011 08:31:30 PM 833 Views
I find that unlikely Sidious - 12/12/2011 09:28:07 PM 795 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 825 Views
Well.... Sidious - 13/12/2011 01:12:48 PM 830 Views

Alivia may not even be stronger than Nynaeve... fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:14:06 AM 887 Views
That wouldn't surprise me actually *NM* Sidious - 14/12/2011 07:46:47 AM 444 Views
Where would you place Egwene though? fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 09:13:46 AM 792 Views

Yes! And...? fionwe1987 - 15/12/2011 02:53:37 AM 780 Views
Yes I would agree with that Sidious - 14/12/2011 08:24:35 PM 923 Views

I think it was just Aes Sedai hyperbole RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/12/2011 09:51:00 PM 658 Views
And entirely based off your shared assumption. Fanatic-Templar - 14/12/2011 05:15:51 AM 862 Views
Actually that's a lot of logical assumption. *NM* LadyLorraine - 13/12/2011 01:28:00 PM 384 Views

Nah. Beyond the realm of possibility. Sorry, Shannow - 13/12/2011 05:12:40 PM 883 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 854 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 759 Views
But that is my point: it wouldn't be merely force of will. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/12/2011 09:40:17 PM 746 Views
What Rand is doing... fionwe1987 - 14/12/2011 03:43:08 AM 865 Views

Might assume that Elayne is stronger in the Power than Aviendha. echooff - 19/12/2011 02:40:46 PM 1026 Views
I suspect he knows that... fionwe1987 - 19/12/2011 05:53:00 PM 746 Views
Nope...some maths problems in your post. Shannow - 19/12/2011 07:41:29 PM 782 Views
But 64 square feet is not Elayne's maximum... fionwe1987 - 20/12/2011 02:46:50 AM 741 Views
