she commented that forkroot was affecting her during the battle (and I think she did - her normal ability was still reduced), then theoretically, she could work around the forkroot block by just reaching for the source through someone else.
She did work around the limitation placed on her own abilities by linking with others. What's your point?
And it didn't seem like the forkroot affected how much she could draw from the others, even though she controlled the Circle.
That's because they weren't dosed with Forkroot. She's melding their flows, but they are the people actually serving as conduits for their own power, and her being dosed with forkroot doesn't affect that. Nor was it implied that it would.
So, all of this really implies, IMO, that forkroot can be overcome by linking (or using a Well). I suppose it's worth asking Sanderson, though.
What do you mean, Forkroot can be overcome by linking? If a sister is in a link and is given a strong dose, she'll still faint, and be unable to channel for sometime.
And a well won't work if the dose is strong enough to prevent you from channeling. And if it reduces your flow to a trickle, then a trickle is all you'll get, albeit from a well.

I think that's only for the Amyrlin. IIRC, no one else ever calls initiates daughters.
