Or we can choose to assume Elayne is incorrect darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 11/01/2016 03:50:14 PM

in her assumption that Nynaeve could "do better still"

It's also possible that an angreal offers a fixed amount of saidar increase so that Moiraine's bracelet gives her 85 saidar bringing her to 86.5 when she uses it, and making Lanfear 185 when she picked it up and that the difference between she and Rand at the docks was more about her skill and speed and her inherent dexterity making the advantage more in Lanfears favor (i.e. she would be closer to a 225 male with the dexterity advantage). This would still keep the little fat man angreal fairly normal in what it offered Rand's strength, perhaps it offered him 50-75 saidin based on this model or even as much as 100, which would make shielding 7 average women somewhat feasible, if not a guarantee.

However, the turtle that Elayne used to become 2x Nynaeve would need to offer roughly 105 saidar for this model to work with the text in the books, and would in this case make the turtle more powerful than the bracelet, which seems very unlikely, but I suppose it's possible that Elayne just really doesn't know what "strong v. normal" is for angreal.

You're forgetting the other side, though. - 19/01/2016 08:19:59 PM 1386 Views
yes but it doesn't proactively do this - 19/01/2016 10:06:25 PM 1236 Views
Responding to a shield doesn't require proactiveness - 20/01/2016 05:53:24 AM 1157 Views
it's a visualization thing really - 20/01/2016 04:39:08 PM 1197 Views
Not the crux of the debate... - 21/01/2016 03:37:40 AM 1282 Views

There's not much to go on since all the shields except Berowyn's are the same - 21/01/2016 09:55:14 PM 1180 Views
That's precisely my point - 21/01/2016 10:09:02 PM 1264 Views
now you are speculating based on a lack of evidence - 21/01/2016 10:39:13 PM 1094 Views
There's actual evidence: - 22/01/2016 06:25:25 AM 1281 Views
what's dense here is that you keep putting in quotes that don't support your position - 22/01/2016 03:28:16 PM 1450 Views

agree to disagree I suppose ... I don't see it this way *NM* - 20/01/2016 04:41:16 PM 677 Views
