That said, I always liked the way the books described Charisma as "personal magnetism." It made me picture sorcery as a kind of "magic is attracted to me" situation, whereas wizardry would be more about seeking the magic out.
How perceptive you are should not affect your ability to shrug off hostile mind magic, yeah. Save for illusions, and that's a maybe. And yes, Charisma does include.... well, charisma. Your ability to be liked and influence people. (How the attributes map to real-world stuff has been a small interest of mine for a while).

What a great analogy! It reminds me a lot of the Classical/Romantic split in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

You're blowing my mind up over here, Eldest.
The split in the whosie whatit?
