I have not seen this before, so I thought I'd put this out there.
If a channelers were linked, balefiring away, and one of the linked persons were balefired, what would happen?
This can be very convulted and complex but a fun mental exercise.
I think that is why the balefire truce happened.

Do you mean, what happens if you balefire yourself? Ask Lews Therin. Actually I don't think it would be possible to balefire yourself, since you would then have stopped channeling before you balefired, unless you somehow managed to boomerang the balefire so it didn't hit you for several seconds. LT either used a different weave or died because his grassy plain had become a volcano.
If you balefire your companion in a circle then they would die. The link being broken before you started to weave, but the weave still having existed, I'd say that if you were drawing as much of the power as possible that you'd then end up having drawn that power yourself, and burning yourself out.
But it is very possible I am talking complete nonsense and I hope someone comes along with some properly thought-through theories. It's an interesting question.
A balefire question? or maybe paradox.

Jordan answered it, balefire doesn't undo balefire *NM*

what I am trying to get at is the power of balefire is less if one of the linked is vaporized

It would modify the current strength of the circle, but their balefire's effects would be the same.

how can balefire be immune to itself?

With all respect, why wouldn't it?

Think of balefire as burning back threads in the Pattern, not as a magical go-away beam.
