Strength in the Power

[Ascendancy]

Potential strength in the Power only


About:

You need not have read the Wheel of Time books to play a channeler so long as you have a grasp of our magic system, but names which appear in parentheses alongside the following level are best estimates of strengths of famous characters from the books.  This information is meant to provide context and examples.

Updated scale:

This is an update to the 21-level One Power scale classically used across WoT groups to gauge strength in the One Power.  Due to new information revealed by Robert Jordan's notes, an updated scale has been released.  What follows is an adaptation of that scale PC's in The First Age.

The stronger the channeler, the higher on the scale they are.  In brackets you will find estimates of strength from famous characters in the books; additional information is meant to provide context and examples. If levels are indicated as full, contact Ascendancy to acquire permission to use that level.
