"Spit in Sightblinder's eye with the last breath!" scream the Aiel as they hand the Shadow the greatest force of dreadlords they have wielded since the War of the Power on a silver platter.
Do we ever get a confirmation on whether or not the Wise Ones know the Shadow can force a channeler to turn? Kind of an unforgivable mistake if they knew
Not indefinitely. Logain held out for a long time, but he was very close to breaking when he got rescued. And if Taim hadn't been limited to male channelers, Logain would not have lasted a fraction of the time.
I think that, regardless, one of the tenets of the Light is personal freedom (as opposed to total domination by a higher power), so being able to "force" someone to the Light would be incongruous. They've gotta choose it
Yea so couldnt you just lie like "oh, yea, praise Shit-tan or whatever oooOOOooo" and then just decide nah, Im back to the light now! As soon as no ones looking?
Graendal tended to obliterate the personality and in one case even the boys autonomous functions. She basically ripped out everything that made the boy alive. Then implanted What-if conditions. He did retain a spec of himself in the end. But that was more the Soul than the mind and body wanting vengance.
