I'm going to decide that players are auto immune to it, and in the BBEG back story i was thinking of doing something weird with it. Would you say a captured person would be able to affect there captor if the captor regularly visited them. Sort of a reverse of the normal situation? I know its not RAW but i wonder if it would be stretching things to far.
It depends on the BBEG.
If they're Stupid Evil then it would only work because magic.
If they're a well-intentioned-extremist, it would work by convincing people that the ends justify the means.
If they're a woobie-destroyer-of-worlds, or are a cult of personality of some kind, it'd work by inspiring sympathy and adoration.

As for the latter, that sounds like a great plotline.
