  1. Mat's amulet did not protect him, because the lightning drawn against him was basically electrical energy that was taken from the environment, and thrown at him in a bolt of energy. The closest examples of this in real life is a model railway and the electric fence on a farm. The electricity that allows the locomotive to move is done in pulses along the track and the farm fence is exactly the same, but a far stronger pulse. If you put your finger on the model track it will get a shock just before the locomotive touches it, and it will tingle. The pulse from an electric fence, by comparison, will throw you a few meters from it in a shock. Exactly how Elyane will throw rocks at him on the way to Ebou Dar, and as you said, Adeleas and Vandene threw horse manure. What they were all discovering, Rahvin already knew what was happening, and knew ways of how to counter it. His expertise in the One Power allowed him to do that. Mat's amulet will only protect from direct weaves trying to do something at the touch of his body. It will not protect Mat from any elements that weaves generate before triggering the process.
  2. Yes, LTT is the only other named Dragon. Rand is connected to LTT only because he was prophesied to be born where he died. Which is kind of the point of that soul when fulfilling the role as Dragon, though that soul was reborn between those two lives. That the soul was born more than once after LTT is a huge can of worms for the story, and one with an ongoing debate of the implications, and which lives they lived.
  3. The answer, is the Chosen were all bound in the Pit Of Doom. LTT faced the Dark One in the exact same location that Rand did, except it was fire.
  4. The implication, is that RJ decided after New Spring that darkfriends would be mentioned in the exemption, but was never outright spoken until Nyneave's full Oath taking. He may have decided to show the change in the Oath is most likely an implication of the Black Ajah working to undermine the White Tower since their first appearance. Changing that particular Oath in that fashion would allow that kind of corruption.
  5. The third Oath clearly states, word for word: Never to use the One Power as a weapon except against Darkfriends or Shadowspawn, or in the last extreme defence of her life, the life of her Warder, or another sister. As far as I can tell, all Oaths in the show are the same ones. What we saw Moriaine do in Falme in the show is consistent with her knowledge of two Forsaken being in the city.
