Simple answer: Probably because LTT/Rand didn't think of it - we don't even know it that would work, hence why I said it would be an experiment. LTT/Rand did not do a lot of things that would clear the rogues' gallery out very quickly for the simple reason of plot convenience. Who knows? Maybe being in a stedding would have temporarily removed it, but it would be re-established upon exiting? No idea.



No. Which is sort of why I would think that if he had the ability to instantly remove a weave, he'd have used it in that instance. I think he asked Semirhage to remove it for the same reason Rand asked Nynaeve; both possess a Healing Talent with a high degree of skill to back it up, so it might be the case that not every channeler can remove a Compulsion weave without destroying the victims' mind. Dealing with thoughts and chemical balances is probably more complicated than a more direct type of weave.



We don't know if instantly nullifying it would have killed Elza. She was under a very weak form of Compulsion that was nowhere near as powerful or skillfully wrought as those used on Graendal's victims. If anything, the fact that Elza appeared dazed may have more to do with Semirhages' need to inflict pain while Healing than anything else.
