I worked on the idea that the Charm causes the victim to rationalize liking the demon, and a very zealous Malakite, even given my modified dice system, no way he could rationalize sparing them.

Seems logical.

But, you see, this demon is CLEARLY a Redemption candidate! Killing him would be counterproductive! Picking him up and carting him to a Tether is much better...

You are more devious than I.

I'll point you to L. Rel pg 112 and the three impudites there, and see if you still think it would have worked.

I wouldn't even say you have to be that kind to get the Charm through - "He's pretty for a demon. Nice, too. Almost a shame. But oaths are oaths. He's probably burnt down an orphanage or... oh dear, there goes my Essence."
