Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 45-50
The Damane thing never really played out for me. For one, the sul'dam were a big source of potential damane that seemed to be ignored (I wonder if this would have played out in the Seanchan books had ever been written - with the various warring armies, surely someone would have taken the opportunity to get more damane), but also, would they still trust sul'dam? We are told that they are re-tested just to make sure no damane accidentally slip through, but we now know that any of them could learn to channel.
Can they tell the difference between damane and sul'dam without the a'dam? The Aes Sedai can, so if they are able to, that would at least prevent any of them trying to learn
