Denna fråga bugged mig ganska mycket och jag tror att jag kanske äntligen har hittat relevanta citat som kan svara till gränsen som möjligt. Betona min.
TOR Questions of the Week, February 2005-July 2005
Week 15 Question: When a channeler is forcibly turned to the Dark, is his/her former personality lost to eternity? Are they in a permanent state of mindless Compulsion? Furthermore, can a channeler forcibly turned to the Dark return to the Light unaided?
Robert Jordan Answers: They are not in a mindless state of Compulsion. Their former personality is twisted, the darker elements that everyone has to some degree elevated while what might be called the good elements are largely suppressed. I don't mean things like courage, which is useful even to villains, but they are unlikely to be very charitable, for example, and forget any altruistic impulses. Call it being turned into a mirror image of yourself in many ways. It is very unlikely that a channeler forcibly turned to the Shadow could find a way back to the Light unaided. For one reason, by virtue of the twisting he or she had undergone, it is very unlikely that he or she would have any desire to do so.

Q: Can people who were forced to become Darkfriends through a 13-13 circle be saved?
Brandon: He said he couldn't give an answer, but that the characters from the books would say yes.
Både Jordan och Sanderson tyder på att kanaliserarna en gång vände kan "sparas". Jordans svar verkar föreslå att med viss hjälp från andra kan de vändas tillbaka till ljuset. Medan Sanderson gav sitt vanliga svar för Wheel of Time Books.
Min personliga slutsats för detta är att med viss hjälp från de människor som delade en anslutning med de "väntade" kanaliserarna, kan de sparas / vändas tillbaka till ljuset. Men de kommer aldrig att bli "samma". Jag tror att de kommer att stanna i samma tillstånd som Logain, dvs mer kallare, hård och avlägsen, men väsentligen för gott.
