The man could channel for all he knew - and it would certainly explain the madness of attacking an Aes Sedai within the White Tower - and if so, he would not stand trial and be gentled. His head would find itself detached from his body. <br/><br/>Ardan snorted when the fool made the claim that he got close to killing her.
