SH can - at least at the moment - only really affect people sworn to the Shadow, according to the following report/Q&A by BS:
Likely this will change the more power the DO gets on the world.
Q :You mention that Shaidar Haran has quite a few limitations on his power. Can you give us a few concrete examples of these limitations?
A: Shaidar Haran needs a minion to do most of his work for him. Elza was essential to Shaidar Haran in getting things done.
This lead to lots of discussion about swearing to the Shadow – basically, it’s a very bad idea and you forfeit some very basic protections when you do. Shaidar Haran has special power over those that swear to the Dark One, and the Forsaken in particular. I asked about Alviarin’s special mark, and he said Shaidar Haran has similar power over her. The implication is that there are lots of ramifications for swearing to the Dark One. Brandon mentioned that this makes Verin all the more remarkable.

But there isn't anything magical in the sword preparing process, is there?

but the swords wear out over time so it could mean that the effect is only a temporary binding
