This article is about the distribution of One Power strength among the Kin. For a list of all strength rankings, see One Power strength rankings. For Aes Sedai and other initiates of the Tower, see Strength in the One Power among Aes Sedai.
List of Strengths[]
The following table gives a full list of strengths of Kinswomen according to their entries in The Wheel of Time Companion. If there are no women at a given level, it is not included below.
| Strength Level | Channelers | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 13(1) | Zarya Alkaese (Garenia Rosoinde) | Formerly the established maximum strength level among Aes Sedai. Also the minimum to use safely the Choedan Kal. |

| 16(4) | Julanya Fote | |
| 17(5) | Aloisia Nemosni | The Wheel of Time Companion gives her strength as "either 17(5) or 18(6)". |
| 18(6) | Sumeko Karistovan | Mean strength of all Aes Sedai is at 18.3. |
| 21(9) | Median strength of all known Aes Sedai is at 21.2 i.e. 50% of all known Aes Sedai are stronger than this. | |
| 22(10) | Sibella, Sabeine Ocalin | Sebeine can Travel, so is at least this strong. |
| 31(19) | Ieine | |

| 45(33) | Minimum to be tested for the shawl | |
| 46(34) | Alise Tenjile, Dimana Corrand, Sarainya Vostovan | Just below the minimum strength level to be eligible to test for Aes Sedai, but in some cases can be enough to be tested as Accepted. |
| 47(35) | Tamarla | |
| 49(37) | Keraille Surtovni | |
| 54(42) | Asra Zigane | |
| 72(60) | Morgase Trakand | Minimum known strength. See analysis. |
| Unknown strength | Caiden (extremely weak), Callie, Janira (extremely weak), Jesamyn (extremely weak), Kema, Kumiko (extremely weak), Mirane Larinen, Melore (extremely weak), Nashia, Sarasia | See notes for those with strength qualifiers. The descriptors are based on those derived Strength in the One Power among Aes Sedai#Hierarchy_Judgements |
Notes[]
- Caiden, Kumiko: "Not one would have been allowed to test for Accepted"[1] There were four Kinsmen present. One was Alise 46(34) and the remaining is unknown.
- Callie: We know she was put out of the Tower in 995 NE, but not why, so she might not have been extremely weak like those that could not become Accepted.[2]
- Janira and Melore: "she would not have been allowed to test for Aes Sedai"[3][4]
- Jesamyn: "Jesamyn and three other Kinswomen were left in Caemlyn... none could make a gateway on her own, but they could when linked. Darkfriends killed two of the other Kinswomen, leaving her unable to get a message to Elayne". This implies that she was too weak for her to even create a Gateway linked with one other woman.
- Kema, Nashia, Sarasia: "The four took up positions beside Elayne. Only two of them were strong enough for a gateway—many of the Kin were weaker than most Aes Sedai." The fourth is Alise, who we know is too weak to Travel, so at least two of the three have a strength of above 22(10).
- Mirane Larinen: We don't know why she was put out, so her strength is unknown.
Analysis[]
There are 1,783 registered as members of the Kin. Since we only know the strength of only 22, we are limited in what inferences we can make about the overall distribution of strength.
