Moiraine's comment was that she was only 'strong enough' to erase a 'few seconds', which ties the amount of power used to the length of time that it erases from the Pattern.
It is implied in many places that the magnification factor on the CK is in the region of thousands.
Assuming a linear relationship between Power used and seconds erased I think the minimum that Rand can erase using half the strength of the CK would be 10*500= 5000 seconds. That is roughly 1.5 hrs. The maximum limit would be well, well above that, but it is only the minimum that counts here.

BS has supposedly said that Rand erased about two days with that blast of balefire. I haven't seen the transcript myself, but that is the rumor going around. Perhaps someone could find it and provide a link?

Graendal - maybe the deadliest Forsaken

Graendal wasn't that deadly...

I think she's the most deadly and intelligent. The others are idiots, IMHO.

Here's the deal, though. Semirhage actions actually followed part of the theory to a tee.

It's quite simple logic.

Some points no one addressed, a.k.a. Graendal lured Rand in...

Still no answers. I think I'm correct in feeling she is alive. *NM*

I think she escaped, but it says something that he had to become worse than a Forsaken to do it

Thanks for reminding me. Oh well, then I'm stuck with the whole tearing apart the Pattern thing

I don't think it's acceptable to tear apart the Pattern to save it.

Not to take away from Graendal, but my vote goes to Semirhage or Aginor
