Charmspeak



Charmspeaking is a power only very few children of Aphrodite have. Charmspeaking is a type of hypnotism in which the speaker can be sometimes unaware of, it allows the user to convince someone else to do whatever they want. The strength of the command depends on the tone and the emotion of the charmspeaker's voice. Eventually charmspeak wears off and the person has no recollection why they even did what they were commanded to do. Charmspeakers cannot charmspeak other charmspeakers, as learned in The Lost Hero. The charmspeaker is usually not trying to put any power into their words though they can still charmspeak other people. This happens often with Piper McLean when she asks for things and people will give it to her which leads to her father defining her as a kleptomaniac.

The only known demigods to possess this power are Piper McLean and Drew. Anyone else with this particular gift is yet to be introduced into the series. Circe has the charmspeak power and taught it to her neice, Medea (it is seen in The Lost Hero that Medea has the power to charmspeak, and had charmspoken Leo and Jason, resulting in the two trying to killing each other). A charmspeaker can reverse other people being charmspoken.

Trivia

 * Charmspeaking can be a learned gift, shown in The Lost Hero when Medea states that her immortal Aunt, Circe had taught her to charmspeak.
 * Piper McLean is the only known demigod who used charmspeaking to take back a soul from the Underworld, though this may be because Jason Grace's soul was not confined to Hades anymore or maybe you can charmspeak a soul.
 * Charmspeak is very similar to Covert Hypnosis, a special type of hypnotism that no one, except the hypnotist, is aware of.
