Re: While I'm peeved that this issue gets more attention than the strength list, I like a mystery... Zalvera Send a noteboard - 22/05/2014 12:03:02 PM

View original postI was thinking along the lines of someone like Annoura or some other Gray, who has been away serving as advisor to some ruler for ages, and who relies more on her negotiating and political skills than on the One Power on a daily basis, thus never really developing her strength fully.


View original postAgain, the reasoning feels a bit off, as over time you would surely rather want to reach your full strength than not.


View original postBut if it was a twist that gave RJ a kick, then I guess it is remotely plausible, kind of.

I was never very interested in the strength list debate, but this mystery has intrigued me. Unfortunately previous answers have confirmed that it's not a lack of channeling that's caused this sister to fail to reach her potential. I'd like to know if it was an intentional choice on her part or not.
