When cataract surgery was invented, this happened to quite a few people and if I recall, it was pretty unanimously decided to be a bad idea. People couldn't handle it very well. A great many started just walking around with their eyes closed, and unfortunately a great many also committed suicide. It was too great of a change too quickly.Having Wis and Cha jumping so quickly would be extremely difficult to handle. The PC now realizes truths he couldn't fathom before, and he not accept them. The line between *knowing* the truth, and *accepting* the truth can be fascinating area for role-playing. Also, with that sort of charisma would come near infinite confidence which can be deadly. Also, being able to talk most anyone into anything can bring along a great deal of temptation.Oh, and don't forget, that sort of spellcasting can draw attention, so be careful. An enemy might realize the best way to knock you down a few notches is to start wiping out your followers. That'll kill your leadership score real fast. At the very least be ready for gods and other epic spellcasters (with their own collection of followers if need be) to come along and put you in your place. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
