Then I suggest you go by what was specifically written on the wiki and see how that works for you. If you try it and test it and it does nothing, you can come back and laugh in all our faces going HA HA UR WRONG HA HA all day long. Til then, stop acting like everyone has to be wrong because... no reason other than they must be wrong! You're the first person i've ever seen in the game or on any forum to suggest that charm is anything other than light based.
Every rule has exceptions, there are the occasional nm or other thing that inflicts a status with an ability of a different element than is typical. Some might even be non-elemental, and the only thing that might work is a specific resistance to the status effect or an item that gives resistance to all bad statuses. But at least as far as the charm status as it can be inflicted by a player, all the sources of it are light based (BST ability, and Maiden's Virelai BRD song)
