I believe one of the FS Forsaken taught Elza the weaves and discovered the Compulsion. Probably in TAR where they could not remove it, or were possibly instructed to leave it Semirhage. Removing Compulsion as stated by Rand/LTT is similar to Healing, it's also possible that only Semirhage of the FS has the ability to remove it.
I find it hard to believe that SH was able to implant knowledge into Elza, yet be unable to touch a Compulsion on her mind... especially since we know he has not been able to tell specific weaves apart in the past.
Your entire theory is centered on an interpretation of a quote from the author stating that Elza had been made into SH tool... nothing in that quote even says SH made her his tool!
I find it doubtful that Graendal (or Cyndane/Moggy) were actually in the manor. It is possible that SH has a whole new array of abilities inlcuding being able to implant knowledge and sense specific weaves of Saidar, but to me it's simply easier to have told Graendal to yank Elza into TAR, teach her the weaves... at which point she said "well look at that ... she's under a compulsion".

SH can't channel thus can't teach Elza anything *NM*

Yeah, but according to BS, he apparently could "give her the knowledge". *shrug* *NM*

that's your interpretation of the quote
15/01/2010 05:58:30 PM
- 583 Views
This and the others quotes suggest that only SH and Elza were involved *NM*
16/01/2010 09:51:24 AM

As I said that's certainly one of of interpreting the quotes

Yeah, as I said elsewhere, would be a nice question for BS, if there was another Forsaken. *NM*

BS spoke quite openly about this scene, though

always worth a try, but wasn't he asked to be less open recently?

I agree with you, for a related but slightly different reason ...

Yes...

Weren't they specifically called Weaves that haven't been seen since the AoL?

"Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves" is the quote.
19/01/2010 06:14:22 PM

Well if they were secret Ajah weaves someone would have recognized them *NM*
19/01/2010 06:21:19 PM

See, I think there's reason for her presence to be kept secret...

Elza truly believes that...

Elza "found a reason to follow the Compulsion"
14/01/2010 11:23:33 PM

So, it came from her, and would not go when the Compulsion was removed.
