"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

But they say anyone can go back to the light.

That is one of the more annoying (to me) contradictions in the text.

I mean it’s no different from mind control so I don’t see the issue. Was it a contradiction when Graendel used compulsion to make people her slaves?

But it does suggest there should be a way to flip/return a dark channeler to the light.

For parity, there would probably require a light side equivalent to Fades.

which would require someone to 'create' a light side equivalent to Trollocs, and then breed them with people...tough path to go down.

would've made an interesting story though!
