That it is possible to appear weaker than you are in the One Power. Can't remember where exactly, but it was in an interview somewhere.
"John Nowacki reports that RJ said, at a post-TPOD booksigning in Washington, DC, that a channeler can hide strength as well as ability to channel, but added that few people know how to do it and the AS don't even know these tricks are possible. There is also some indirect evidence of it from Lanfear, who disguised herself as Else Grinwell to move about the Tower [TDR: 24, Scouting and Discoveries, 224-225]. Else was a novice, so logically Lanfear couldn't have simply made it appear that she had no channeling ability, but then she certainly couldn't have her walking around radiating "Strongest Female channeler Ever!" either...Basically, with regard to the strength question, the evidence that Mesaana could partially hide her strength is not ironclad, but combined with RJ's say-so it'll have to do."
Anyway, I think she's Danelle or an Accepted.
"Those who think they have no time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness."
Graendal gave a massive clue about Mesaana's identity...

Lanfear's posing as Else in tGH is the usual evidence of that ability. *NM*

And Lanfear's strength would have stood out like a second sun to all those Aes Sedai. *NM*

Yeah, but the question is, if Graendal can be right...

There's a rather easy way to get around the whole oath rod thing...
