There was a post about this in the old forum. We worked out that the a'dam was more of a compulsion device than a dedicated linking device, since with a link, one person has to lead and that person is the only one who channels. Sul'dam and damane seem to waver between the two. Though a sul'dam with enough experience and control can control the damane's weaves so well that it looks as though she is doing the channeling herself, she isn't. The weaves, and the Power, still come from the damane.
Sul'dam can allow their damane to channel more-or-less freely, or they can control the weaving completely, or anything in between. But there's no reason why a damane cannot show another a weave. Where did people get that idea?

How long until Elaida is broken and reveals the Travelling Weave to the Seanchan?

What lies did Leanne tell? Really, there's no reason to dismiss a redemptive arc for Elaida.

PS why give Elaida a new name "Suffa" only to have her redeemed? *NM*

She suffers punishment and is then redeemed? BS said Elaida would be in the outriggers, IIRC. *NM*

Breaking her won't solve the entire problem. Look at Moghedien's example.

You're forgetting that Egwene, Nynaeve and Elayne didn't "break" Moghedien.

I think there is a degree of over-complexity you are bringing to this.
