Yeah, I posted on this Sidious Send a noteboard - 12/11/2009 08:53:26 PM

I was very frustrated by the absence of that information - they didn't compare her to Nynaeve or anything. However, the conclusiosn I made on strength in this book (which some people don't agree with) are...

1. Cadsuane thinks that one Sister can hold Semirhage but she has three just in case. Cadsuane is probably wrong here, or Brandon is, or Semirhage is weaker than Nynaeve. One Sister cannot hold Nynaeve - the Black ajah link to shield her, and she even says that one Sister cannot hold her. Elaida insists that two Sisters hold Egwene at all times, which is ludicrous if one can hold the Forsaken. I think that three can hold Semirhage, or she would have escaped.

2. Nynaeve thinks that the Forsaken are much too powerful to be left alive. I personally thinks that Nynaeve is referring to Semirhage's superior strength here.

3. Sheriam says that the woman outside her tent has incredible strength in the Power. She remarks on it twice. Despite knowing Sharina and Nynaeve's strength, she still comments on Mesaana's, implying that it's the strongest woman she's ever felt. Mesaana may be one of the strongest channelers in the world - just below Lanfear perhaps.

Actually, Nynaeave is far stronger than Moghedian now - 12/11/2009 12:30:29 PM 921 Views

Wasn't that rather meaningless? - 12/11/2009 03:26:22 PM 1021 Views

Holding a shield vs. making one... - 12/11/2009 03:19:09 PM 864 Views
Don't they clearly say one single would suffice but they used 2 for - 13/11/2009 04:57:15 AM 796 Views
To HOLD her. Didn't I make the distinction clear? - 13/11/2009 05:04:58 AM 767 Views
Reducing the number of people holding the shield, reduces the strength of the shield correspondingly - 13/11/2009 07:15:24 AM 737 Views
Not necessarily true (Plus, another possibility)... - 13/11/2009 07:43:37 AM 739 Views

No evidence either way, but you leave a massive gap between Lanfear and the average Forsaken... - 13/11/2009 09:31:27 AM 893 Views
I don't think it's massive - 13/11/2009 09:46:27 AM 881 Views
