Why would the Finn only take a little part of Lanfear's power, especially if they also killed her then.
Besides, as BS said, "Cyndane is not under any shenanigans. What you see is what you get." This makes pretty clear that the Eelfinn didn't change her "conduit" with some ter'angreal, because that is basically an explanation like the TP shield-theory and should be reversible (though I anyway don't see why the OP strength would be a bit less, if you could contract this conduit somehow; if anything it would maybe just take a bit longer then to grasp all the possible OP).
All in all, it seems most unlikely that the Finn are responsible for Cyndane's somewhat reduced OP strength. It makes more sense that it is some effect of the transmigration (as said, likely the incapable body), or maybe the Healing of Stilling/Burning out (e.g. with the TP).

They are big ones for the Bargain. Perhaps that was the price of her freedom. Of course they then cheated by killing her. Cyndane would not be under any shenanigans in this scenario. She'd be exactly as she appeared, a woman who is not as strong as Lanfear was.
Like I said, I'm not ruling them out just yet since we know something happened to Lanfear while she was there to make her say this:
WH
With the Choedan Kal
Then the woman struck back at her, and she suffered her second shock. She was stronger than Cyndane had been before the Aelfinn and the Eelfinn held her!
IMO, this quote more than implies something happened to her Strength while there ... especially in the context, why not say "before I was placed in this tiny/weak body" or "before the GL reduced me" if the 'Finns had nothing to do with her current strength, or perhaps her old strength, depending on how you look at it.

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
