A simple survey here. Brandon Sanderson said that of all of the female channelers in the world, only 6 females are stronger than Nynaeve. So this simple survey asks one question. Is Nynaeve of "very rare" strength?

Let me know what you think?

Edit1: To put this in perspective, there are 400 Shaido Wise Ones who can channel. So among the Aiel, there are approximately 3500-5000 female channelers. I'd guess that in Randland there are an equal number, probably another 4000 (plus or minus) female channelers. And then there are the damane. Who knows how many channelers there are there, but probably thousands. Anyway, there easily appears to be at least 10,000 female channelers just in Randland, the Aiel, and the damane the Seanchan brought with them from Seanchan. Of those 10,000+ female channelers, only 6 are stronger than Nynaeve. Okay, now I've put it in proper perspective.

Actually, you are adding a word that isn't there. - 21/11/2009 03:47:48 PM 1133 Views
IMO, it's self evident that the female list only contains named characters - 21/11/2009 03:58:33 PM 813 Views
IMO, the above post by "Logain" is trolling and not worth the debating!! *NM* - 21/11/2009 04:01:08 PM 312 Views
I have a valid reason for asking. - 21/11/2009 04:05:52 PM 909 Views

I find it unlikely that a super strong channeler would end up being unimportant to the plot *NM* - 21/11/2009 11:54:43 PM 294 Views
This sounds semi-mystical... - 24/11/2009 04:45:52 PM 597 Views
Also, if they were that strong, they would then be important. - 29/11/2009 05:24:35 PM 591 Views
she's in the top 0.1% of channelers we know of - 21/11/2009 03:01:02 PM 703 Views
She's in the top 0.05% *NM* - 21/11/2009 11:41:42 PM 298 Views
so shes also in the top 0.1%? *NM* - 22/11/2009 12:04:00 AM 298 Views
Of course. My figure is more exclusive. *NM* - 22/11/2009 12:23:23 AM 285 Views
