Can you even confess a Mord-Sith? Isn't the whole point of them that they can reflect magic or something?

From what I understand, in the books Mord'Sith can't be confessed. Because the nature of a Confessors power is love and the nature of a Mord'Sith's power is hate, the Confessor's power would kill a Mord'Sith.

The show must be operating under a different set of rules though, because Kahlan moved to confess Cara once to get info. already, and Cara wouldn't offer to be confessed as penance if it was going to kill her.

So, I guess the show must just be taking a line that a Confessors power, is something a Mord'Sith can't steal/use against them, though why that would be I have no idea.

Or maybe if Cara doesn't fight it, she can be confessed without hurting Kahlan back? Yes? No?

Well, it seems like the Confessor's always come out on top in these deals so I don't think Kahlan would be hurt/in danger one way or the other.

But, if Cara didn't fight/resist Kahlan's power and willingly allowed herself to be confessed then maybe that would be enough for the process not to kill her.

I think the show must be ignoring the 'Confessor's powers kill Mord'Sith' part of book canon though, because otherwise Kahlan wanting to confess Cara to get info out of her in the season premiere would make no sense since the process would kill Cara before she could give them any info.
