BS's quotes suggest that there were only SH and Elza involved:
Q. "How did Elza defeat the wards on Cadsuane's plain wooden box?"
A. "Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves, and in other ways made into a tool of Shaidar Haran. Not all of it was pleasant for her."
We don't know how, but apparently SH gave Elza this knowledge, when she was made into his tool.
And:
Q: "You mention that Shaidar Haran has quite a few limitations on his power. Can you give us a few concrete examples of these limitations?"
A: "Shaidar Haran needs a minion to most of his work for him. Elza was essential to Shaidar Haran in getting things done."
If Graendal (or one of Moridin's pets) was there, Elza certainly wouldn't be that essential for SH to getting things done. Graendal could have done everything even better than Elza.

I think Graendal was involved on some level in this part of the story

SH can't channel thus can't teach Elza anything *NM*

Yeah, but according to BS, he apparently could "give her the knowledge". *shrug* *NM*

that's your interpretation of the quote
15/01/2010 05:58:30 PM

This and the others quotes suggest that only SH and Elza were involved *NM*

As I said that's certainly one of of interpreting the quotes

Yeah, as I said elsewhere, would be a nice question for BS, if there was another Forsaken. *NM*

always worth a try, but wasn't he asked to be less open recently?

Weren't they specifically called Weaves that haven't been seen since the AoL?

"Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves" is the quote.

Well if they were secret Ajah weaves someone would have recognized them *NM*

Elza "found a reason to follow the Compulsion"

So, it came from her, and would not go when the Compulsion was removed.
