Sul’dam controlled damane, women who could channel, by means of a’dam. It was damane who could channel, not sul’dam. But an a’dam could only control a woman who could channel. No other woman, and not a man—young men with that ability were executed, of course—only a woman who could channel. A woman who had that ability and was collared could not move more than a few steps without her bracelet on the wrist of a sul’dam to complete the link.
