It's always been confusing darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 02/12/2015 06:00:01 PM

View original post
View original postif Moiraine's angreal gives her a 6x increase that would make her as strong as Egwene, which seems to match the book's comment that with it she was actually stronger than her original strength.

The very few direct mentions of angreal strengths in the notes suggested they add a fixed strength rather than being multipliers (a 6x multiplier would have made Lanfear completely over the top powerful... over 5x more powerful than Rand... far more than we've seen at the docks. I think she was rather around twice her raw strength).

Moiraine's very strong angreal added almost a whole scale, IRRC (from the notes, I mean). It pushed her in the range of Egwene/Nynaeve/the Forsaken.

Cadsuane's, IRRC, pushed her in the male levels.

There was not a lot of good info on how angreal differ from san'angreal, though one factor I suspect is that san'angreal won't add less than a full OP scale, and angreal won't add more than a full scale. But it's just a theory, data was lacking in the notes to verify it.

I tend to think san'angreal aren't multipliers either. It makes little sense that the CK with a circle of 72 would give 50-60% more power than Rand operating it with Nynaeve alone. I rather think the gain in strength would be the difference between the circle of 2 and the circle of 72. The rest is added precision/control etc.










They also note that Moiraine's angreal was nearly strong enough to be sa'angreal ... and Elayne made a comment about one of the angreal from the stash that implied that Nynaeve would have an even bigger increase than Elayne received. And that the "not very strong" angreal made Elayne roughly 2x Nynaeve's power level.

Lanfear with Moiraine's angreal was over the top powerful
