"I swear never to partake in the torture of patients, and to live by this Oath until the end of my days, or until the Hall of the Servants declares that I may serve without this burden."
But, maybe that would only count as one. It's really the only way to allow for the Binder to have been useful in the AoL, and for RJ's answer re oath rods in TAR to be correct.

I'm think Mesaana's hand is quicker than the eye

But if being unbound reverts you to your normal lifespan, then being bound isn't really a punishment *NM*

I'm thinking the point of the thread is to discuss how to beat the Oath Rod, not Mesaana's disguise

Right, and also ...

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

Another interesting possibility

I'd say it was highly unlikely that the Binder/Oath Rod works that way. *NM*
