In the AoL, men and women linked together and as such, would have linked, likely with angreal and sa'angreal to create such a stream of balefire. From what the books imply, the amount of power used determines how large the beam of balefire will be.
Irrelevant. If a link of 72 could match the power offered by the CK, there would never have been a need to construct them, and the AS could have used a link to create the barrier they were intending to use the CK for.
Not irrelevant at all. If I recall, some things aren't just all about out and out brute strength with the OP. It takes the two halves of the OP working together to accomplish the greatest feats. That's why there were two CK and an access key for each. And the CK weren't simply made for creating balefire, but for resealing the DO's prison, only that effort fell apart when the CK were lost into Shadow territory during the war.
Your mom. That's right. The cat is out of the bag. Your mom.
