I have very specific reason for trying to get an understanding on it. Though it likely won't happen because Zef is unlikely to be able to control a male OP with the device. I think it's a fair trade to limit the device to work only to your sex.
But it had me thinking. If you shielded Nox what would the horde do? The OP is how he 'controls' them. If he couldn't channel he'd be a thrall to the horde's rewiring of his brain, but since he can control the horde he can control his own impulses. (At least this is my current theory on what happens). So if Zef were to actually get the device to work on him, he'd pretty much become the monster he fears he is. But how much power does he need to control it. Is it a trickle of power? or is it like say 5% of his power does he need so he doesn't go all killer instinct on you. So if he's limited to 5% of his power what can he do?
Again likely not to happen as I think Zef shouldn't be able to control saidin.
