That theory doesn't explain why Aran'gar and Osan'gar and Moridin

Brandon: When it comes to this certain character that you are talking about, there is a whole thing where Maria and I exchanged a bunch of emails about this. She had managed to pull some things out of the notes that I had not seen, which is interesting, because I was going off of something else. I did not think that Cyndane should be nearly as powerful as she was put in the books as being, so I had been under the belief that the Dark One was pulling shenanigans…
Matt: ...like a little, in essence, let’s say what the Forsaken Lanfear did to Asmodean, you thought maybe the Dark One was doing some similar…shielding…
Brandon: …or the other way around…here is a little extra Power you can draw upon while I am pleased with you, I can take this away…
Matt: ...that is a question…let’s jump to that question, there have been some theories that talk about Lanfear…
Brandon: ...let’s back up and say I was wrong. I was interpreting the notes a certain way. Maria was able to pull something out that I had not seen that made it clear that I had misinterpreted, and that that is not the case, Cyndane is not under any shenanigans. What you see is what you get.

Most likely Cyndane's body simply can't support all of Lanfear's theoretical OP potential.
have no weakening in their new bodies though. Seems to me that at least one of them would be weaker (or perhaps even stronger) if this was the risk transmigration ran. And its seems that BSand may have been being very clever here ... note that he says "Cyndane is not under any shenanigans" he never said anything about Lanfear being under shenanigans. Could she have been somehow augmented beyond a normal woman? This idea seems more likely to me given her previous strength.
The question is how would that have worked, an angreal of some kind wouldn't have been sensed by other women so Cyndane's strength would have felt the same as Lanfear's had been. I've seen the arguments around the Finns and tend to agree with DomA on their limits. So IMO that leaves the DO giving her some kind of boon back in the AoL. If SH can block to ability to the extent that it doesn't feel like the person is a Channeler at all why can't Shai'tan augment the ability? Alternatively it's possible the Finn's had a ter'angreal that could give her more natural strength too.
Domani Drag Queen in the White Tower ... Aran'gar watch out!
Did the Finns take Moiraine and Lanfear's strength in the OP and swap them?

Post some Cyndane quotes. I thought she was still far more powerful than Mo

or the difference between Lanfear and Cyndane is now in Moiraine

no, cyndane is still the strongest female forsaken, and possibly strongest female channeler

Tor QotW #9 hints at the physical size of the body limiting the quantity that can be channeled...

I agree with Daurius ^ but I still think the Finn could've been the culprit... allow me to elaborate
