Yeah, a comprehensive scale restricted to AS would not be comprehensive Joel Send a noteboard - 25/06/2015 09:22:36 PM

The info on this post contradicts what Terez read in the notes. Per those notes, Daigian, the weakest AS, is level 45/33, not level 72/66. I think this entry has a mistake, in that it says the 66 original levels were for Aes Sedai only. I believe it included all channelers, even Morghase and Sorelia.

So would be sorely lacking. Setting aside largely irrelevant types like Morgase/Sorilea who can barely even briefly rarely GRASP the Source, much less DO anything with it, many people too weak to be AS still have sufficient strength to actually USE the One Power. And any One Power strength scale omitting people who demonstrably HAVE such strength is incomplete and thus inadequate.

However many ways they meant "dexterity," ALL are precluded by saying, "pure strength" Joel - 02/07/2015 12:09:11 AM 1478 Views

Sorilea can GRASP the Source reliably; there is no indication she can USE it Joel - 27/06/2015 08:19:19 PM 1377 Views

Since she looks her age I suspect reaching it is almost entirely due to natural longevity Joel - 29/06/2015 09:16:21 PM 1197 Views
Not when you consider Morgase darius_sedai - 30/06/2015 09:02:35 PM 1250 Views

True, but that only makes slowings imprecise nature harder to gauge Joel - 10/07/2015 02:51:45 AM 1675 Views
Morgase spent nearly 2 years in the Tower darius_sedai - 09/07/2015 03:22:06 PM 1566 Views
And countless hours of frustrated focus to--fleetingly--grasp the source ONCE (i.e. less than twice) Joel - 10/07/2015 02:51:53 AM 1445 Views
doesn't make sense as you describe it darius_sedai - 10/07/2015 04:42:31 PM 1172 Views
It does not make sense as Jordan describes it either Joel - 10/07/2015 09:00:36 PM 1421 Views
I agree with all of this fionwe1987 - 10/07/2015 05:21:40 PM 1242 Views
You are wise Joel - 10/07/2015 09:06:16 PM 1327 Views
But the scale was only applicable for Aes Sedai; they are the only ones to whom strength matters Cannoli - 25/06/2015 11:10:45 PM 1298 Views
It MATTERS to everyone; just because it is irrelevant to a hierarchy does not make it absolutely so Joel - 27/06/2015 08:44:07 PM 1299 Views

66 levels for women + 6 ( ? ) for men Terez - 27/06/2015 10:58:16 AM 1527 Views
theory, lesser strength increases the likely hood of a very specific sometimes untapped talent? Aleksis Michael - 30/06/2015 12:25:45 AM 1265 Views
Developed skills are distinct from innate Talents (in Randland, literally) but I would still say no Joel - 30/06/2015 01:21:25 PM 1246 Views
