Agreed... Etzel Send a noteboard - 20/01/2010 08:36:47 PM
I think only three of the main theories often suggested could still be right, namely:
Cyndane's Power drop is related in some way to being Healed from stilling/burning out;
that Cyndane's weaker body is responsible for preventing Lanfear to unfold her whole potential;
or that there was a weird effect, when the door ter'angreal melted, which caused Lanfear to lose a part of her OP strength (and maybe Moiraine got it).

All of these theories seem to have their problems, though.

My Lanfear/Cyndane theory has been disproven. Shishka - 20/01/2010 05:12:58 PM 2986 Views
It was discussed Etzel - 20/01/2010 05:27:43 PM 1304 Views

Re: Maybe... Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:53:47 PM 1078 Views
Yeah, that would be a possibility! *NM* Etzel - 20/01/2010 09:01:26 PM 1004 Views
That doesn't really jive with Aran'gar though darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 09:03:35 PM 1023 Views
But... Etzel - 20/01/2010 09:11:47 PM 991 Views
I think it's pretty obvious that pretty much any man is going to be darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 09:41:40 PM 943 Views
The idea behind this theory is... Etzel - 21/01/2010 07:15:19 AM 1167 Views
Maybe there is a difference between male souls and female souls ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 09:35:57 PM 1032 Views
Plausible darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 09:45:21 PM 1133 Views
Actually, I didn't mean to imply that my idea of female strength is related to body size ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 10:10:48 PM 990 Views
LOL ... I hear ya on that darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 10:17:02 PM 1063 Views
I'm so pleased this theory is false! darius_sedai - 12/12/2010 05:00:06 PM 918 Views
people didn't like it when I proposed it kcf - 20/01/2010 05:31:18 PM 1338 Views
Thanks. Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:36:58 PM 1149 Views
I don't like the idea that she was healed by a woman Skeeve the Great - 20/01/2010 05:48:19 PM 1095 Views
I agree, and it seems unlikely that a new "better" method darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:07:04 PM 1011 Views
It's NOT due to Stilling or Healing and it's NOT due to Cyndane's weaker body... Shannow - 20/01/2010 06:46:08 PM 1134 Views
I think Moiraine's gaining strength seems a little too LotR. darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:55:34 PM 1077 Views
I think Moraine gaining strength is VERY LotR. That's why I think RJ went with it... *NM* Shannow - 20/01/2010 06:57:39 PM 612 Views
yet he moved away from LotR very early in the series *NM* darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 06:59:05 PM 573 Views
I also like that theory Sidious - 20/01/2010 07:14:20 PM 1051 Views
I think BS's error regarding Cyndane's strength can also be explained by this theory... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:17:59 PM 1047 Views
Yes perhaps Sidious - 20/01/2010 07:25:06 PM 1057 Views
Cadsuane is considerably stronger than Moiraine darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 07:31:42 PM 1060 Views
Nope... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:38:55 PM 1046 Views
I disagree as usual darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 07:45:29 PM 968 Views
We don't know the magnitude of what Aes Sedai consider a significant strength difference... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:54:38 PM 1031 Views
You are comparing Male and female strength here darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 08:18:45 PM 1080 Views
Why do you misquote Moiraine? Shannow - 20/01/2010 08:39:55 PM 1043 Views
Agreeing to disagree here ... we interpret the evidence differently and it's futile to argue. darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 08:41:08 PM 1226 Views
Cadsuane isn't too strong Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:19:41 AM 1039 Views
Actually... fionwe1987 - 21/01/2010 05:57:43 AM 1039 Views

Agree with both your comments... Shannow - 20/01/2010 07:46:07 PM 1056 Views
Re: Agree with both your comments... Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:24:16 PM 1073 Views
Hmm ... I think maybe BS DID know about Cyndane being stronger than Graendal ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 09:20:31 PM 1022 Views
But seriously... Etzel - 21/01/2010 12:14:16 PM 934 Views
Re: But seriously... Sidious - 21/01/2010 12:34:18 PM 1121 Views

Re: I don't think it has to be so unique... Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:49:42 PM 1075 Views
Also would explain the question of why Moiraine left the angreal on the wagon instead of using it... Shannow - 21/01/2010 02:30:46 PM 1088 Views
I think it makes more sense... Etzel - 21/01/2010 02:34:30 PM 1046 Views
Lanfear would have been toast if Moiraine had the angreal, plus foreknowledge of the confrontation.. Shannow - 21/01/2010 02:38:57 PM 1047 Views

One other tiny thing Sareitha Sedai - 21/01/2010 03:18:03 PM 983 Views
Yes, and that is often overlooked Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:48:08 PM 950 Views
That's my interpretation, also ... Shishka - 21/01/2010 04:00:35 PM 932 Views
Nods in agreement darius_sedai - 21/01/2010 06:24:59 PM 1075 Views

Agreed *NM* darius_sedai - 21/01/2010 11:38:43 PM 580 Views
No, I don't think so Sidious - 21/01/2010 04:43:53 PM 1117 Views

Yeah ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 08:43:24 PM 1060 Views
The closest I ever saw was the "Lightfriend/Purple Ajah" theory darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 08:46:20 PM 1294 Views
Yeah, the Verin revelation was cool... Etzel - 20/01/2010 08:48:53 PM 1015 Views

Doesn't fit with BS's words Etzel - 21/01/2010 04:27:43 PM 954 Views
Also ... Shishka - 21/01/2010 04:32:58 PM 927 Views
I don't think BS words or Cyndane's comments really prove anything. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 21/01/2010 04:42:59 PM 1069 Views
BS says that Cyndane is truly weaker. So, this theory is out. *NM* Etzel - 21/01/2010 04:46:48 PM 626 Views

and you have zero evidence that Lanfear is considerably stronger than the others darius_sedai - 22/01/2010 11:23:11 PM 861 Views
It's also a totally abstruse explanation, though, and therefore certainy wrong. *NM* Etzel - 22/01/2010 11:55:17 AM 834 Views

actually if one really wants to figure out what happened to Cyndane darius_sedai - 21/01/2010 07:00:33 PM 1188 Views
Dumb question, but do transmigrated souls need to re-reach their full potential? Gher - 21/01/2010 06:19:57 PM 1025 Views
It seems like they start out as powerful as they were, but I don't think it's ever been stated *NM* darius_sedai - 21/01/2010 06:44:45 PM 638 Views
