charmspeech is actually a useful ability, look how well it works for the demon/vampires and witches such as circi, i just think piper does not use it that well

a flaw in this may be her relationship, she is less inclined to flirt/command due to her considering it lessening her devotion to jason perhaps?

manipulation of others however is a very useful ability, rather than just causing confusion in fighting she could use it to get them to cease, commit suicide or attack the enemy

it has been some use dealing with gods
