But I've never seen it affect non-channeling capabilities of channelers.

The only thing it seems to inhibit are behaviors or intentions that would enable them to remove the a'dam or escape, and act as a direct impediment to the ability to channel due to it being an involuntary Link.

Thus, if you didn't know what the collar did, you could reach up and feel it but until you try to remove it you wouldn't start suffering the negative physical reactions.

It acts like a binder in that way - some Aes Sedai can't even bring themselves to think of lying or using the One Power as a weapon, while others interpret it to be an inhibitor on action and not thought.

Rand, for example, could access the True Power to destroy the a'dam around his neck, because it seems the only thing the a'dam affects is your access to saidin or saidar, not other capabilities. He could even form weaves that would directly harm the a'dam...once again, because all the a'dam seems to affect is your bodily control and your access to saidin or saidar. Slightly flawed example, but it does show that the specialized construction of the a'dam and sad bracelets can only limit channelers from using saidin or saidar.
"Those who think they have no time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness."

I'm inclined to think the a'dam stops Dream Walking - 26/05/2010 09:26:20 PM 550 Views

And it seems the woman wearing the bracelet has strange dreams too - 26/05/2010 10:54:26 PM 632 Views

I think it would be the latter - 27/05/2010 07:11:17 PM 641 Views
I have a few mundane my reasons as to why Moghedien probably wouldn't and couldn't do that. - 26/05/2010 11:39:14 PM 548 Views
I disagree - 27/05/2010 03:21:05 PM 555 Views

If she could enter TAR she could drag an AS in with her, compell them and make them take it off - 27/05/2010 07:14:26 PM 650 Views
Re: If she could enter TAR she could drag an AS in with her, compell them and make them take it off - 27/05/2010 09:21:11 PM 744 Views
I think we are saying pretty much the same thing here - 27/05/2010 09:24:37 PM 583 Views
We are close to the same idea, but different in where we think her ability will stop. - 27/05/2010 09:37:28 PM 571 Views
*nods* *NM* - 27/05/2010 11:29:10 PM 261 Views
But channelling is not a requirement to enter TAR - 27/05/2010 08:31:21 AM 513 Views
The a'dam affects things in Channelers other than the ability itself - 27/05/2010 01:58:34 PM 696 Views
I don't agree. - 27/05/2010 03:02:08 PM 576 Views

We may never know! - 27/05/2010 09:21:48 PM 599 Views
I would be very surprised if it came up in the books - 27/05/2010 09:25:29 PM 561 Views
Interesting idea. - 26/05/2010 09:38:04 PM 524 Views

Doesn't work - 26/05/2010 08:37:40 PM 781 Views
we've seen this fail - 26/05/2010 08:38:06 PM 535 Views
I don't mean that - 26/05/2010 08:39:32 PM 520 Views
I'd say you either die or just wake up if you tried that - 26/05/2010 08:40:31 PM 530 Views
As far as I know... - 26/05/2010 08:38:36 PM 560 Views
This could work - 26/05/2010 08:43:21 PM 747 Views

Re: Thanks - 26/05/2010 09:12:10 PM 533 Views
So I think this disproves it - 26/05/2010 08:49:55 PM 811 Views
Is that really true? - 26/05/2010 08:53:45 PM 599 Views
Sid, I made some edits, but really nothing's certain. Look again, pls. *NM* - 26/05/2010 08:55:30 PM 288 Views
I would generally agree with your edits - 26/05/2010 08:57:32 PM 554 Views
yes and no - 26/05/2010 09:31:53 PM 473 Views

well Moghedien somehow managed to create a whole Body for Birgitte - 26/05/2010 10:36:45 PM 563 Views
Could Rahvin turn Rand into a fishman if he was just there in Spirit? - 26/05/2010 10:19:05 PM 532 Views
And I agree with your response - 26/05/2010 09:49:00 PM 533 Views
You have to enter TAR in the Flesh to leave it in the Flesh. - 26/05/2010 10:06:02 PM 650 Views

I think the problem is that you can only channel Spirit through your T'A'R form - 27/05/2010 03:05:13 PM 507 Views
if you dream yourself into T'A'R then you're just a creation of your own mind - 27/05/2010 12:02:38 AM 505 Views
aren't we all? *NM* - 27/05/2010 12:04:08 AM 239 Views
if that was true you couldn't die in T'A'R - 27/05/2010 12:08:10 AM 490 Views
Why not? - 27/05/2010 03:41:10 PM 630 Views
if it's just a creation of your mind? - 27/05/2010 04:03:29 PM 568 Views
is it possible to Travel in T'A'R when dreaming? - 27/05/2010 12:06:57 AM 524 Views
I don't think anybody has said this before... - 27/05/2010 04:01:28 AM 603 Views
Your real body can only channel Spirit. - 27/05/2010 05:25:08 AM 607 Views
Yes, but you need real One Power to affect the real world. - 27/05/2010 06:46:21 AM 595 Views
The only real situation we have to compare... - 27/05/2010 06:59:51 AM 502 Views
That's a weird situation. - 27/05/2010 07:09:21 AM 559 Views
Well, yes. The Birgitte situation can't be compared directly to Sidious' - 27/05/2010 08:01:38 AM 566 Views
