Charm Person: Difference between revisions

* ''[[The Heroes of Olympus]]'' <ref>the sequel series to ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]''</ref> reveals that some children of Aphrodite can "charmspeak", and hints that children of Hermes have similar powers.

* Ta'veren (think "[[Chosen One|Chosen Ones]] mixed with a touch of [[Reality Warper]]") have a measure of this ability in [[The Wheel of Time]] series, but it works only sporadically and is not under their conscious control.

** Lirahn in [[Star Trek Department of Temporal Investigations]].

* The Bene Gesserit in [[Dune]] learn a technique called the Voice, which lets them persuade people to follow their instructions. The technique involves speaking in just the right tone and timbre to make the person most susceptible to your suggestions (though the film and mini-series adaptations have Voice users speak in a creepy, growling voice). It does have limitations, though: for obvious reasons it won't affect deaf people, and it also won't work on mutes, because a Voice user has to hear their target talk in order to figure out what tone to use with them.
