Shalltear - Charm Species

“Hmph! You seem to be from a race similar to dwarves. Don’t think I’ll be talking! I’m staking my pride and my tribe’s pride on that!”

“Hmm, then how about we do this? Charm Species. Now will you talk to me?”

“Yes, of course. What would you like to know?”

The other kuagoa gasped in astonishment at the docile reply.

The charm spell made the target feel like the caster was their trusted friend and equal. For that reason, the target couldn’t be made to kill or severely injure themselves, since that wasn’t something a friend would order them to do. And just as sometimes people kept secrets they wouldn’t tell even their best friend, the charm spell didn’t always allow the caster to draw out the information they wanted. In those cases, the only solution was to use even stronger mind-control magic, but that didn’t seem necessary this time. Shalltear was grateful for her luck.
