Eh, it makes some sense IMO. The mechanic is they are swearing three new oaths to Shai'tan which replace the ones they give to become Aes Sedai: Don't reveal any current plots that are in play by the Black Ajah, and to keep my secrets until the hour of my death(which comes into play later in the series). I don't think they ever reveal what the 3rd oath is.

kznlol posted:If my understanding of book 9 (I think) was correct, the Oath Rod can be used to remove previously binding oaths, even without swearing new ones Does the black ajah actually use the Oath Rod? I'm re-reading the books so I can finally get to the last one. I'm only on 7 and have probably forgot a bunch of stuff.

Ika posted:The oath rod is actually a rod of binding which was used on criminals in the age of legend. I think somewhere someone mentions the nine rods of domination which might be the same thing. Yeah, I remember that, Sammael talks with Graendal about it at some point IIRC. Also, there is supposedly a chair of binding, which will work on non-channelers (I don't think it's ever actually shown).

I think they are two separate things.  I just looked, and according to the wiki, they are.
