THE GREY TOWER
REFERENCE PAGE FOR STRENGTH IN THE ONE POWER
Reference:
With information borrowed from Raina's
Library, here is a reference demonstrating the relative One Power strengths of some of the characters in the WoT books. Originally part of the 21-grade scale as a
reconstruction of the scale RJ himself used, it is fully researched and
accurate, giving a precise idea as to the varying strengths. However as to make
things a bit simpler for us here at the GT, it has been broken down into
10 grades, including a +10 grade which would be a near impossible strength
for any character to reach, as even in the AoL there were only two men in all
the world who were of its level (Ishamael and Lews Therin). Without further ado,
here is the listing, and if there are any questions or arguments as to the
accuracy of the examples given in this scale, please visit the link above and
read the references. Ty :) The Numbers in bold are the main scale numbers, with
sub-grades underneath them to show the varying strength for each number. For
example, two channelers who submit a 7 as their strength in the Power
would not necessarily be equal in strength, though very close.
Note: Keep in mind the fact that most male channelers will be much higher
up on the list then women. Not necessarily level 9 and 10, as that is very
rare, but due to the way they seize saidin they can manage to channel much
larger ammounts of the One Power then women.
