From world guide 3, concerning how seduction/charm magic works by manipulating focus/attention.

>Also, since a seduction spell can be used to focus attention on themselves, conversely, it can also be applied to divert attention. For instance, monsters with eye-catchingly beautiful looks can use it so that they can actually go about doing things without standing out, and monsters with an appearance tempting to men can even make it so that they won't attract the desires of any but the specific man that they are targeting. There are several nymphomancy spells that all monster races ordinarily cast unconsciously, and this is also one of them. The fact is that most monsters with partners divert the desires of men other than their husband by means of this spell.

You're confusing it with the people repellent spell. What I speak of is another use of the seduction spell. To quote:

>Also, since a seduction spell can be used to focus attention on themselves, conversely, it can also be applied to divert attention.

The fact is that most monsters with partners divert the desires of men other than their husband by means of this spell.

As stated, monsters use it whenever they don't want to draw attention to themselves from men, and while most married monsters use it all the time, it is not limited to them. Note especially how it is used as a filter to exclude interest from any men except a man that interests her. Perhaps this is when she has already fallen for a man, but it would work just as well as a way to filter out any men that are incompatible with her, and would help explain more how their compatibility sense is so successful.

And since its subconscious, a man may still need to pour his heart out and be persistent to help her realize the compatibility.

>See I'm starting to realize that even if some of the charms aren't literal behavior controllers, they can't really be turned off. I doubt most mamono could if they're an inherent charm.

You really need to read up on more of the setting. Being able to turn off/reverse charm/seduction is one of the inherent abilities of monsters that use it. Since all the spell really does is make the monster's existing charms impossible to ignore, it's also possible to make it so they are very easy to ignore. Its how married monsters can go about their business without getting hounded by tons of men eager to woo them, and likewise how a monster interested in a particular man can make it so only he is charmed by them.

Note, its not like the men can't still notice the monster or realize she is attractive, its just that by reversing the spell said good looks are harder to focus on.

>It's not some form of body-controlling puppetry, but yeah that is mind control.

"Influence" would be what most people would call it, and its little different from advertisements using bright colors or other scientific means to get and keep your attention. Its just magic-based.

>Further on it says that the effect is permanent and impossible to dispel.

Its referring to the aspect of realizing how charming the monster really is. You don't end up with a permanent boner or anything like that. The spell does end, but the things you realize during it are genuine, and thus they remain.

You realize them looking at you is what tends to incite their initial interest? And if you try to not look at them, well... just consider the effects of seduction spells:

>One under the influence of seduction will find his gaze unintentionally shifting to places such as the caster's lovely face and bouncy, voluptuous bosom. The provocative gestures one witnesses will be burned into one's eyes, and won't go away. Even if one were to close one's eyes and try to endure it, this time one's ears would be thoroughly and continuously violated by her even more lucid, sweet man-seducing tone of voice, and if one covers one's ears, then the indecent aroma tickling one's nostrils will excite one's senses.
