The Dragon Reborn
The Price of the Ring
Sheriam sighed, glanced at the other Aes Sedai again, then dropped her voice to a whisper and spoke swiftly. "This is something known only to a few, child, even in the Tower. You should not learn it now, if ever, but I will tell you. There is – a weakness in being able to channel. That we learn to open ourselves to the True Source means that we can be opened to other things." Egwene shuddered. "Calm yourself, child. It is not so easily done. It is a thing not done, so far as I know – Light send it has not been done! – since the Trolloc Wars. It took thirteen Dreadlords – Darkfriends who could channel – weaving the flows through thirteen Myrddraal. You see? Not easily done. There are no Dreadlords today. This is a secret of the Tower, child. If others knew, we could never convince them they were safe. Only one who can channel can be turned in this way. The weakness of our strength. Everyone else is as safe as a fortress; only their own deeds and will can turn them to the Shadow."
Seems like any channeler is at risk in theory.

I doubt Egwene knows anything about it. It just seems like such a boring way to reveal it.

Less plausible that she'd put it in the book, however. She was also sort of busy during these plots *NM*

It's still an assumption that Taim is evil and Logain good

Demandred is not Taim, he would have recognized Flinn... Taim tested the man for the ability!
