Can Gods Use Charm Magic in DanMachi?
So, I was diving deep into the lore of DanMachi the other day, and a question popped into my mind—can
gods like Ishtar and Freya actually use “Charm” magic down in the lower world? I mean, these are some powerful deities we’re talking about! While reading through some fan theories and discussions, I stumbled upon a user’s response that struck me. They mentioned that gods aren’t allowed to use their full powers in the lower world, which makes total sense. After all, if they could just wave their hands and charm everyone, where would be the fun in that? It’s kind of like when you’re at a party and there’s that one friend who just has to show off their dance moves; it can be entertaining, but a little goes a long way! However, this user also pointed out that the essence of beauty and charm, especially for gods like Ishtar and Freya, is something natural—almost like breathing. I found that so poetic! It’s like how you can’t just turn off your charisma; it’s a part of who you are. I mean, have you ever met someone who just lights up a room without even trying? It’s the same concept! And then there’s the mention of Hestia’s purification ability. It’s like they’re saying that even if the gods can’t flex their powers to their full extent, they still have these little bits of magic that naturally come out, like a gentle breeze. I couldn’t help but think about how, as a parent, I sometimes find myself using my “dad charm” to navigate tricky situations with my kid—sometimes it’s just about being present and sincere, right? I remember one time, I was trying to coax my little one into eating broccoli (yes, the age-old battle). Instead of pulling out all the dad jokes, I just sat down and made it a game. We pretended the broccoli was tiny trees and we were dinosaurs eating them. It wasn’t about using any special tricks; it was just about being genuine and playful. It felt like I was channeling my inner deity of dad-hood! Anyway, back to the gods. I love the idea that even deities have their quirks and limitations. It makes them feel more relatable, like they’re just trying to navigate their own challenges, much like we do in our daily lives. So, what do you think? Can you relate to the idea of charm being as natural as breathing? Or have you had any funny moments trying to charm someone, whether it’s your kid or just a friend? Drop your stories in the comments! I’d love to hear how you navigate your own little magic moments!
