Interview #475: TGS Signing Report - kcf, Entry #8

Question

How does Nynaeve compare with Semirhage in One Power strength?

Brandon Sanderson

I’m pretty sure she’s stronger, but they are very close. RJ has a list of all the channelers’ strengths. On that list, only six people are stronger than Nynaeve. It’s such a rare event that pretty much anytime we meet someone stronger than her, it’s explicitly said. There are two One Power strength scales—an ‘old’ and a ‘new’. Nynaeve was the top of the female list for the ‘old’ list. Six are stronger on the ‘new’ list.

Brandon was pretty certain that Nynaeve is stronger than Mesaana, who isn’t particularly strong in Forsaken terms.

Brandon was very open and willing to talk about this issue—people who care about these things should ask at every opportunity.
