We know there is an Asha'man that can heal stilling in women as if it had never happened. Nynaeve does the same for Logain. This indicates that the opposite gender has the best ability to heal Severing in the other. (Someone posted something to that extent in another thread but I haven't gone back through all the replies to find it. Sorry.)
Now, I know that Siuan losing some of her power was a major plot point, and I know that what I am about to propose will likely never happen.
Nynaeve said she could not fix Siuan's healing because you cannot heal the same wound twice. But theoretically speaking, if Siuan were severed again could she be healed back to her original strength (by an Asha'man)? Would Nynaeve's substandard healing leave a permanent "scar" so that is now her maximum potential? Can severing be healed twice, or would it be impossible to heal again at all?
Thoughts?

Just for fun... Siuan's ability in the power...

Re-severing may not be necessary

That probably depends on if you think of severing as happening always at a single point.

In theory, it seems possible.

I think so. Esp. with Eldrene, Lews Therin and what we learned from Elayne's "unravelling" incident

I'd like to see them re-healed. It would be a good way to prove to the AS that men are equal
