Re: Yes, I've often pondered on the body size and One Power strength link...

Hi, perhaps my second post in 4 years or so. I'm so prolific.
Anyway...
I always thought that it's possibe that the SOUL is what gives the link to the Power, whereas the BODY determines how strong the person will be.
By this idea (Not that I'm assuming it's right by any means...) that a channeller reborn into another life/time or a channeller given a new body would have to be born into a body which also had the capacity to channel, 1 out of the 2 won't cut it. Kind of like a version of cod-genetics I'm trying to sell here I suppose.
Not sure what about the body determines strength, but I doubt that it's something physical such as body mass as over three thousand years and more even the thickest channellers would have noticed such a trend as Arnold Scwarzeneger types always being the most powerful!
Feel free to pick holes/drive lorrys through the holes in my idea!
Also, if anything wants explaining more if I've not been clear or this has been posted before, sorry.

Very interesting, but they wasted a lot of time on questions they knew would be RAFO.

He seems to indicate that RAFO doesn't necessarily mean we'll ever get an answer, though.

I like the Padan Fain questions. Also, Lanfear / Cyndane discussion was exciting.

I'm not going to argue the theory, but, Moiraine won't give a crap about deference after her ordeal. *NM*

Moiraine has always been somewhat of a rebel, and what you say is sort of in agreement

I don't think is beyond the realm of possibility, but did Lanfear actually have any wishes left?
