Arguments for:

  1. Some of the verbiage around the fight to the death with Valda is very reminiscent of the mental state of someone channeling one of their first few times.

  2. Channeling is inheritable, and Galad is half-brother to Rand.

Arguments against:

  1. Galad’s kind of old to be manifesting the spark.

  2. The verbiage around the fight with Valda could be more linked to the flame and the void than seizing the Source per se.
