I was reading TGS and i came across the part where Semirhage has Rand collared. She uses it to have Rand choke Min, but then Semirhage was balefired by Rand and the True Power. So why, if she is balefired do the bruises remain on her neck? I understand her and Rand would remember it but if Semirhage is balefired would the marks on Min's neck not disappear?
Question: (something regarding the bruises remaining on Min's neck, and if this was a typo)
Brandon: No, that is correct. Rand caused the bruises, so balefiring Semirhage would not make them go away. Balefire only removes paradoxes caused by the direct actions of the one who is balefired. And the bracelets remained after Rand balefired [Semirhage and Elza] because they weren't really part of Semirhage or Elza.
Claire: (comment regarding the thread on Dragonmount where some are arguing that by balefiring Graendal's palace, the compulsion disappeared since there'd never had been a palace in the first place, and others are arguing that it doesn't work that way, objects don't have threads).
Brandon: Everything has a thread, not just souls. Even a stone in a wall has a thread in the Pattern.
Okay, if Brandon really said that last part, he got it wrong. Stones in a wall do not have threads in the pattern.

AFAIK, stones should not be destroyed by balefire because they're not threads in the pattern

but "during the war of power... whole cities were burned out of the pattern"

They can be destroyed, they just don't have threads to be burned back to undo history. *NM*
