An "accurate" WoT game would be heavily, HEAVILY biased in favor of channelers

The d20 Wheel of Time game tried to address it, but the fact stands that channelers can do many, many, many things, without much effort.
So, if a woman channeled Lan's hands together? Only a very weak channeler would be unable to hold him. We know there are physical limits- for instance, Elayne gets goggled at by a novice in tFoH when she uses a flow of air to levitate a large pile of wet laundry- but generally, the limits are above what a normal human can break through.
I think a better way of doing it might be something like Ars Magica, and only focus on the channelers. You CAN make non casters, but they're not as powerful as a caster, and that's that.

I amuse myself.

Good idea - esp. since in Ars Magica, you have a "non-magical" character under your control, as well *NM*

Can't reply to all of these - many of these OP-discussions are heavy on the philosophy

Maybe Mage: The Ascension would work better. A vague, open-ended system would be better

That was probably 'bending light', as Rand used on Egwene in Cairhien, no? *NM*
