The 'charm' effect is the way the game translates the effect the performance has on the audience.Alternatively it could be framed as using magics to ensorcell the audience against their will.Picture a movie. It could go either way depending on the tone of the movie, the themes, and who is doing it and why.What this means to me is that charm effects can be evil or not depending on how they are themed. Is it usurping someone's will or is it a representation of magic making the character charming?Tasha's Fey Spirit is another good example. The Mirthful Spirit can charm a creature for 1 minute. All that means is that they cannot attack the summoner and the summoner has advantage to Charisma checks with the target. So, is it mind control magic or does the target just find the Spirit entertaining?</blockquote>
