The Guide says:
"While Rahvin preferred manipulation, the Forsaken known as Be'lal, the Envious, was a master of it, to the point that he was often known as the Netweaver."
So, the Envious seems to be the literal translation of Be'lal, while Netweaver was just another nickname.

The point isn't if Lanfear has the skill, it's that it was poorly shown.
