I don't think it was channeling at all. Rand description of touching the True Power was... intense.
This was undoubtedly ta'veren-related. But... somehow darker. I've said in other threads that Dark Halo Rand is terrifying to me, especially since he implies that he's able to force the Pattern to his whim (The whole "Do you believe, if I willed it, the Pattern would reach out and simply... stop your heart?" thing).
I think this was Rand trying to exert his ta'veren-ness, and Tuon using every ounce of determination in her body to resist it.
I'm actually kind of surprised she was able to. Thus far, the only people who've really been able to RESIST the tug of ta'veren were people who knew what was happening. Like with Perrin going home to the Two Rivers. You usually need to realize Fate is dicking with you if you want to resist it.
Tuon doesn't believe in ta'veren, though, so she did it through sheer strength of will. Impressive.

I amuse myself.

I thought he failed because of the ta'veren only working negatively for him for a while.

Nah, it's just Sanderson isn't as subtle about the ta'veren.

It's the first time we've had someone else's PoV when ta'veren was trying to work. *NM*

I highly doubt it was ta'veren effect... It was an effect of the Dark One I say

Agreed on the True Power's effect, but if you think about it, the lack of a treaty works out for him
