This is further proof that natural skill increases with strength. This is very obvious with very strong channelers like Egwene and Elayne who could fully channel within only two years and with multiple flows. However, it is nice to see how the trend continues all the way down. Weaker women take longer to master channeling. Not a surprise at all.

There are several incredibly weak but very skilled Kinswomen listed. Further, it is explicitly stated that skill has nothing to do with strength.

The Tower not letting weaker women graduate to Aes Sedai early may have multiple reasons for it, but I wouldn't be too quick to conclude that therefore weaker women are less skilled.


Yes but if look at.... Actually never mind, I can't get into one more argument about this for the rest of my life.
