... That's what she's directly saying yes?

It makes them vulnerable to the likes of the Eye. Reason, is what Eve gained at the Tree of Knowledge when she took a bite.

Read Mab's quote again: "Ethniu could not destroy me with a single blast of the Eye."
Then look at why I said " It would have killed Mab if she took one or maybe two more blasts with it. She barely survived the first one."
She knew she wouldn't be killed with the first blast. But she couldn't have taken another, in my opinion, based on how damaged she was from it. She would have eventually been killed by it.

She said reason was the opposite of hate, not love. She didn't say reason was the counter to love.

But apparently Ethinu didn't either, because she never tried a second or a third blast. You are making an assumption that a second or a third would have killed Mab, but there is no proof of it because neither the blast nor the death happened. Mab knew this when she stood up against her, she ran the numbers. Then she reasoned it out.

The Eye needed time to charge which is why she didn't just fire it nonstop at everyone. Mab took the shot to buy time.
"Mab was not strong enough to do much more than lift her own head"
"My Knight, came Mab's psychic voice. We have perhaps sixty seconds before the Eye is once again loosed upon us. you must call her by then", talking about summoning Titania.
From that point on, Ethniu was pretty much fighting off everyone else, and didn't get a shot at Mab.
