BS said that they would need to give you a *angreal to increase your OP strength:
RJ also indicated that the Eelfinn can't affect the soul:
It's anyway difficult to fathom how the Eelfinn could take a specific part of a person's OP strength away. Why only such a relatively little part? And what would they do with it? A part of the OP strength doesn't seem palpable at all. It's like taking 10 IQ-points from a person away.
On the other hand, I can buy that they can catch memories and give them another person, because memories are rather separate and manifest.
Matt: Ok, so that being said there are some theories out there that in the Age of Legends, at one point, Lanfear might have…
Brandon: ...let’s just say I have not said that Lanfear and Cyndane are the same person.
Matt: Oh, absolutely, I’m jumping to this other Forsaken that we are talking about…
Brandon: …this other completely different person…Uh huh…
Matt: …so Lanfear, the theory goes, that maybe she was accentuated from a beauty and/or Power perspective by going to the 'Finnland previously.
Brandon: Okay.
Matt: Would the 'Finns have the ability to accentuate someone’s beauty and/or quantity or access to the One Power through their own capabilities and talents?
Brandon: Yes, but it might involve third party ter’angreal, angreal, this sort of thing.
Matt: So, they don’t have power to affect the soul’s capability of increasing its total channeling?
Brandon: Certainly not permanently; as far I understand, that is outside the realm of their ability.
Matt: From a beauty perspective can they affect the outer body of some individual?
Brandon: I would say that, yes they can, but they may have to be using some type of ter’angreal or…
Matt: …some item of Power?
Brandon: Some item of Power, something like that…of which they have great stores…
[what???]
Matt: Really? Heh, so the obvious question, where did the 'Finns get great stores of ter’angreal, angreal, and is that part of the Pact they made?
Brandon: RAFO…but if you just think about it, we don’t even have to go to the notes for this if you think about it logically, we know of them providing certain items of Power to certain individuals that they were able to match very nicely with certain requests very easily. If you run the statistics on that, it's either a huge coincidence or they have very many to choose from.
Matt: So, how many Finns are there?
Brandon: RAFO. I’m going to RAFO a lot of 'Finn stuff just so you know.

RJ also indicated that the Eelfinn can't affect the soul:
Tamyrlin: The snakes and foxes seem to have a lot of powers. Do they also have the Power? I have two questions: can they transmigrate souls? Two: can they hold the soul of an individual they have killed.
RJ: No. No to both.
RJ: No. No to both.
