Wow, that's great. I wonder what else can be created there, like sa'angeals, etc.

Wotmania Interview 2004
W: What happens to objects left in Tel'aran'rhiod? Could an Aes Sedai free herself from the Three Oaths in Tel'aran'rhiod by creating an Oath Rod?
RJ: The only way for an object to enter Tel’aran’rhiod would be for it to be carried there by someone who entered physically rather than through a dream state. If left there, it would remain until it was retrieved by someone else who entered physically. And, yes, an Aes Sedai could free herself of the Three Oaths with an Oath Rod created in Tel’aran’rhiod, but remember that relatively few sisters actually have access to the World of Dreams, and for those who do want to remove the Three Oaths – sisters joining the Black Ajah – there is the Oath Rod in the White Tower to serve that purpose.
Note that RJ says an AS could release herself from the Oaths with an Oath Rod created in TAR ... Mesaana clearly has access to TAR. I wonder if she just took the Oaths, claimed to not be BA and then hopped to TAR and removed them.

I think another way would be to die and get reincarnated by the DO (respawing, if you will
)

Right, and also ...

Except that the best way to 'defeat' the Oath rod is - not to take the Oaths at all
