Traditionally, The Fair Folk are reputed to have a powerful and subtle magic that disguises their true (and less than fair) form into one that is beautiful, beguiling and beatific. This was called a Glamour. It not only cast an illusion of physical perfection, but made any hapless viewer think of the fae as graceful, wise, a lifelong friend, and made them easily suggestible if not utterly enthralling them in More than Mind Control. Now imagine a character who has this power, and can use it on crowds. We'll wait for you to stop shivering. Characters with this power become the center of attention. Anyone who looks at the character will suffer effects similar to Love Is in the Air: they'll consider the character to be flawlessly beautiful, smart, funny, and fall over themselves to do whatever the character says.note Even if the character in question is hideous, dressed in rags, covered in garbage, clumsy, and has the IQ of room temperature... in Celsius! While this isn't direct Mind Control or a Charm Person, it does affect people psychically by making them want to help the character. Sort of a cross between Mass Hypnosis and The Charmer. While weak glamours or strong-willed characters probably won't do unethical things or that go against their interests, they will act at least slightly out of character while under its effects: disliking the character will seem unnatural, arguing against them impossible, and attacking the character would be like committing blasphemy. When it's a powerful glamour (or a Weak-Willed victim) victims won't hesitate to obey any of the character's whims. But as soon as they leave the room (or a certain amount of time passes) the former awestruck followers will get the psychic equivalent of a hangover and wonder what the heck happened. If the character has an especially powerful Glamour the effects may be permanent, require either special shielding to cut off, or the equivalent of Mind Control deprogramming to return victims to normal. If a character has God-Mode Sue class Glamour, nothing less than killing them will end the spell. This is usually a borderline case of Bad Powers, Bad People. An ethical character that doesn't abuse those affected might actually accrue less Mind over Manners related squick than using straight Mind Control. As a power, it does have a certain degree of Blessed with Suck. If the glamour can't be turned off the character may very quickly despair at having no intelligent conversation since everyone agrees with them, no real love since anyone they meet will instantly love them, and otherwise having all the conflict leached out of their life. When this power fails or comes into conflict with an equal and/or greater Glamour, sparks fly. Often the explanation behind a Weirdness Censor or Invisible to Normals. If dispelled, causes a Glamour Failure. The term, incidentally, derives from "grammar". Like what you learn in school. But since "grammar" was the first of the liberal arts, it came to mean "book learning", and Rule of Cool demanded that it be used for the coolest form of book learning: magic. Compare Artifact of Attraction and Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul. See also Appearance Is in the Eye of the Beholder, Lie to the Beholder and Shapeshifting Seducer. Not to be confused with the American Fashion Magazine. Fashion magazines and the fashion world in general keeps using this word. |

Pale: The two major fae allies of the Kennet Witches both provide them with sources of glamour, with variations due to their different natures. Guilherme, of High Summer, is playing the role of a mentor to heroes and so his glamour is geared towards augmenting their abilities, giving Lucy the ability to enforce You Will Not Evade Me by creating a glamour arena that can't be broken until one combatant is beaten, and Avery the ability to reinforce the tendencies she wants to keep in herself using small amounts of glamour. Maricica of Dark Autumn, meanwhile, provides gifts that are versatile but often have hidden traps or downsides—her nettlewisp curse, which can blind or maim those that spy on the trio, grows out of control if it's never triggered and becomes a threat to everyone, while Verona's love of the ability Maricica granted her to turn into a cat is exploited such that Maricica can force Verona into cat form at will. | |

Worm has a whole category for people with these powers called Strangers. One particularly terrifying example is Nice Guy: whose power makes everyone think that he's a nice, if rather boring, guy who obviously isn't doing anything wrong. Even when he's in the middle of disemboweling someone. | |

In Fables, any Fable who can't pass for human must buy one of these from a witch, or be arrested and taken to The Farm, a homestead out of town. Which, considering that most of these Fables are animals, isn't as bad as it could be. The prequel has several plot points revolving around glamour and its limitations, with a crucial plot point being about why a prostitute was hired to wear a glamour of Snow White and a witness who has been selling glamour prone to failing at increasing prices. |

In the remake of V, Anna, the leader of the Visitors, has a "Bliss" trance that she periodically puts her people into that makes them all unquestioningly loyal to her. It's not until the unintended series finale that she becomes able to do it to humans, pretty much ending the series with The Bad Guy Wins. It's not exactly like the fairy example (it's not Bliss that makes her look like Morena Baccarin) but it's very much an example of what happens if someone can make you find them graceful, wise, a lifelong friend, and make you easily suggestible if not utterly enthralling you in More than Mind Control, and can use it on crowds. And you should shiver. | |

The Folk of the Air features glamour given that it's a series about The Fair Folk. The ability allows faeries to mind-control humans, or cast illusions for them, but special mention goes to the fact that Elfhame does have certain regulations to deal with mortals, and while there are humans who are glamoured into being treated as slaves while thinking they're somewhere else; most are treated better and usually in a one-time and being paid very generously for their services, they're just glamoured to not know who or where they were working with. | |

A fairly interesting case of this is What the Cat Dragged In, an MCU crossover: in this story, the glamour prevents others from making any determinations about the Miraculous users, not even how old they might be. However, it only works on a conscious level, not a sub-conscious one - Natasha is able to determine that Ladybug and Chat Noir are minors because Tony never made one suggestive comment about Ladybug's skin tight outfit; he may be The Casanova, but he'd never hit on a teenager. | |

King of the Water Roads - "Seeming," as they call it, is the easiest kind of magic to learn, and one of the only scraps of magical talent usually still found in Markasia. It is a power entirely based on glamour, but if a sorcerer is powerful enough it seeps into Your Mind Makes It Real territory. | |

Miraculous Ladybug: The Miraculouses seem to operate on this, changing their disguised form slightly based on whoever their holder is. This is best shown in "Reflekdoll": in camouflage mode, the Ladybug earrings take the form of a pair of black studs, while the Black Cat ring takes the form of a slightly squared ring. However, when Marinette and Adrien accidentally swap them, the Ladybug earrings become silver-colored, while the Black Cat ring slims down and becomes colored pink. In the New York special, it's explained that the Miraculous holders are able to avoid being recognized by use of "Quantum Masking" which presumably makes them appear just different enough for people to not make a connection to their civilian identities. It only works on living beings, though. Uncanny Valley, a robot, is able to see right through it. |

In Heart of the Woods, the residents of the town of Eysenfeld are unquestioningly loyal to their mayor, Evelyn Fischer, something that turns out to be the result of a spell. Evelyn is a fairy known as the Moonsick One, who is currently possessing Evelyn's body, and plans on stealing Morgan's body next, so she uses her magic to make the town loyal to her. In the good ending, Geladura, the fairy queen, says that with Evelyn's death, the spell has worn off and the townspeople will come to her senses. | |

Hero Chat: The glamour is pretty subtle; it is possible to break through it just by adding all the facts together and coming to a logical deduction, but usually you need at least one big push to make the leap. Chloe figured out Adrien was Chat Noir because they've been friends forever, she figured out Marinette was Ladybug because Marinette once dropped Tiki (who pretended to be a toy) in front of Chloe, and from there it was easy to deduce everyone from the limited pool of "people Marinette trusts enough to give a Miraculous." Chloe and Kagami are able to take new hero identities despite still looking exactly the same as their old ones because the magic makes people just skip over the similarities—but their teachers still figured it out. Artificial Intelligence like Markov and Uncanny Valley are immune since they use various factors to identify humans that aren't covered like body language. | |

A non-superpower/magic example is the Living Infected in Survivalist. They're zombies that will eat your flesh and tackle you to the ground like any other, but they retain all their memories of being human, as well as their ability to speak coherently and use weapons. If someone in your group shows strong Blood Knight tendencies that don't seem to fit in well, don't be surprised if they turn out to be a Living Infected. | |

The Dresden Files makes a few mentions of fae folk casting a glamour, and says that all those 'glamorous' actresses in the world wished they could look like the fae.

SCP Foundation: Numerous SCPs have this ability, usually the more dangerous ones. Of note is SCP-953, the "Polymorphic Humanoid", a kumihonote A Korean demon much like a kitsune, only far more dangerous and malevolent who uses her human form and illusory magic to trick humans in to either doing horrible things for her own entertainment, or to lure them into a trap so she can eat their livers.note It's usually both, in that order. The photograph in her file reveals a glimpse of her true form: her human visage is blurred out (thanks to her magic) but six of her nine fox tails show up like a thermal image. SCP-247 is a man-eating Bengal tiger that appears to everyone who looks at it like a harmless house cat. It uses this illusion to lure unsuspecting people in so it can kill and eat them. Played with for SCP-053, a skip that looks like an ordinary 3-year-old girl...who triggers a homicidal hatred towards herself in anyone who spends more than ten minutes around her. It's strongly implied that she isn't a child or even a human,note The Competitive Eschatology canon reveals that she is Death the Horseman but her glamour does not do enough to disguise her true nature. Whatever she is, people instinctively know she's wrong. |

Supernatural loves this trope for its many monster-of-the-week stories. When Sam and Dean encounter a Siren and fall under its spell, in the mirror you can see its true and horrific form. Another episode features changeling children, which are revealed to be horrific looking in mirrors as well. The Whore of Babylon is implied to be using some kind of spell to appear like an innocent pastor's daughter. The trope is, however, averted in the actual faeries episode in which the faeries appear to be ordinary-looking humans, albeit sometimes very tiny ones. | |

In the sixth season finale of Riverdale, Percival uses his dying magic to bring a huge comet on a collision course with Riverdale. When Kevin asks why the Internet isn't going crazy on an extinction-level event, he's informed that Percival's spell makes everyone outside Riverdale believe the comet is going to safely pass by Earth. It also means people (like Archie's mom and Alexandra Cabot) have no idea that heading into Riverdale leaves them trapped for the comet and no help is coming. | |

Whateley Universe: This is a moderately common power, even for non-Faerie, and most of the Sidhe and other Faerie have some degree of it. The ones who have the most powerful Glamours are all beings whom you would expect to have such powers: Fey, who really is a queen of The Fair Folk, tries to keep it under control, but it still gets her a lot of unwanted attention. Most of the New Olympians, who are the reincarnations of the original Olympian Gods, have this, with Imperious (Zeus), Majestic (Hera), and Cytherea (Aphrodite) being both especially powerful and very prone to abuse it; Imperious on at least one occasion taking it to the level of Mind Rape. For her own part, Cytherea has been known to cause other students to (in Phase's words) 'pop their corks' when she's trying to get someone's interest. Conversely, some of the other New Olympians, such as Prism (Apollo) and Judicator (Athena) actively tone their glamours down for the same reasons Fey does. Carmilla is a devil who is related to Chthulu and rules her own Hell dimension (but is still a Nominal Hero in the series). |

In Otherverse, the faeries make heavy use of this, a dust-like substance that they use to create objects that appear perfectly real, influence others, and change their shape, but which can be broken by crudity and disbelief. Glamour is, by definition, an illusion, and is fragile. Sharp physical shocks or someone challenging the illusion damages and may even break it. It's suggested that, as glamour is inherently deceptive, the faeries have even fooled themselves—they may well be simply magicians who have lied to themselves so well that they can't remember ever being human. Humans can learn to use glamour themselves, though as they cannot produce it, they need to either have it provided to them by a friendly faerie or take it from a faerie forcibly. | |

Exalted, oh Christ, Exalted. Let's just start with the fact that the Raksha outright call the abilities they use to appear as beautiful ravishers and demon-whores "Glamours." Then there are the various social powers of the Exalted, which range from "everyone in this social group finds this suddenly taboo" to "everyone who watches me dance falls utterly in love with me, regardless of sexual orientation" to "you find my words stir up shame and loathing within yourself." ... With special mention to "you rationalize my every action as being virtuous". | |

The Tzenkethi in the Star Trek Novel 'Verse are a mild example. Every non-Tzenkethi who sees one comments on their grace and ethereal beauty. They're frequently considered almost mesmerizing. The lower ranked Tzenkethi clearly experience a similar effect when in the presence of their betters. | |

Played with in Grandville: Nöel. A unicorn villain can turn their glamour on and off as they please. Off, they're still pretty convincing as they're a unicorn, but turning it on can induce anything from an awestruck trance to fanatical devotion. The effects are only undone in two ways: 1) knocking the subjected person unconscious, or 2) cutting off the horn. The badger detective LeBrock does the latter to stop the unicorn's cult... which causes everyone who had a fanatical devotion to then go completely opposite and pummel the unicorn to death in a mob. | |

In The First Saniwa, the kekkai trapping Hizamaru's team inside the Minamoto estate also has the effect of making their minds believe they're just chilling around in the Citadel in their own time rather than trapped on their mission as they actually are. It also causes them to perceive an enemy coming to take Higekiri and Hizamaru away as Nansen. | |

The Owl House: Edric and Emira Blight both use Concealment Stones to appear more well groomed than they actually are. They can also be used to take on another person's appearance, but to do so, you need to use them to scan said person you're trying to impersonate. Emperor Belos normally has a large band of green rot going across his face, but he uses a spell to make it disappear in the season 2 finale when he prepares to return to the Human Realm. |

Dungeons & Dragons: "Glamer" is one of the subcategories of Illusion magic, consisting of spells which make one thing appear as another. Some glamers act as a Status Buff that makes the caster more persuasive (such as friendly face, mask of the ideal and serene visage), which is much less effective than using Enchantment spells to manipulate peoples' minds directly, but also easier to pull off without getting caught. | |

In Mass Effect 2, Shepard can overhear a trio of co-workers (a turian, human, and salarian) watching an asari table dancer. At one point, each describes something about her that makes him claim that obviously asari look most like his own species, and can't understand why the other two would even think an asari looks like them. The salarian then makes the suggestion that asari might be influencing the minds of other species so that each species perceives them as attractive. | |

This is mentioned as a known type of magic in the Pony POV Series, but a few characters have noticeable uses of it: General Admiral Makarov has this factor as part of his Charm Person power set, making others see him as beautiful and amazing. It turns out it goes even deeper, as his cervacorn form is disguising his true form that at one point fails completely when he has an extreme Villainous Breakdown. The Nameless Passenger/Nightmare Eclipse in Dark World has one that prevents those she's talking to from realizing The Voice in their head isn't supposed to be there. Her Good Counterpart has the same exact ability. Eventually Twilight breaks it by asking her who she is, forcing her to reveal herself. |

In The Craft, the witches teach themselves to use glamours which can convincingly change their appearance or surroundings.

A lot of splats in the The World of Darkness have some variation of this, ranging from "life of the party" to "so glorious even considering disagreement requires you to exert great willpower, let alone harming them". They included both of the Vampire gamelines, Demon, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Changeling: The Lost, and obviously Mage: The Ascension and Mage: The Awakening through Mind effects. Meanwhile, the crossover game Midnight Circus features all the forms of Glamour featured in the Old World of Darkness, plus one unique to the eponymous Circus: the Glamour Veil, a vast shroud of illusions and mental commands draped over the circus, preventing the customers from noticing anything suspicious about the place. This comes in particularly handy during Koba's Progressive Klown Show, which usually ends with a traitor in the clown troupe being eaten alive by an enslaved werebear: not only does the Glamour Veil prevent the audience from realizing that someone has just been murdered on stage, but any rescue attempts by the player will be interpreted as All Part of the Show - including the moment when Koba brings out a flamethrower and sets the stage on fire. |

In the Sword of Truth books, Witch Women like Shota or Six do this unconsciously, and sometimes unintentionally, to those around them. It's considered rape by the Sisters of the Light if one uses this to seduce and have sex with a man, punishable by death or exile from the Palace of the Prophets (which is basically the same thing). | |

It is run by the The Fey and their biggest, highest-paying clients are celebrities and politicians who are looking for more publicity.

In Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, the Jedi Exile has this ability, pulling people in and getting them to do what they otherwise would not. It's much more pronounced if you use this power for evil, as your party members snap out of it after killing whoever you've set them against and react with horror. | |

Simon the Likable from the Get Smart episode "And Baby Makes Four". A vicious agent, when you look at him, you can't help liking him. This like is so powerful that no one can arrest, or even stop, him. At least, until he bumps into Agent 99's mother on her way to the pay phone (hey, it was the '60s) to make several calls about her new grandchild; as she had been bumped several times before, always dropping several hundred dollars worth of change, she's not exactly receptive to Simon's charms here. |

Thranduil the Elvenking from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug uses it in some way, though it's ambiguous how. Either it's to cover up the horrific burns on one side of his face and it fails when he loses control, or he used it to create fake burns to make a point. | |

Retired Witches Mysteries: Some of the villains use this to disguise their true nature. The sea witch in book 2 is able to disguise her true features, even posing as a man at one point and pretending to be a witness to one of her own crimes, while book 3, Dorothy's father disguises himself so he can give her a cat (actually a shapeshifter) that he can hitch a ride on, allowing him access to the Fuller family castle when it's brought inside. | |

In Crimson and Noire, the glamour concealing the identities is strong enough to keep anyone from connecting one's hero and civilian identities unless they know their Secret Identity. In chapter 33, Alya, believing that the Miraculous powers are genetic, thinks that the Fox Heroes Citrine Húlà and Foxglove are grandfather and grandson thanks to the illusion, despite their real identities as Master Fu and Nino Lahiffe looking nothing alike. | |

Warhammer 40,000: In both 40K, Warhammer, and Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, Daemonettes use magic or Warp energy (depending on the setting) to appear like something their targets would find most attractive, lulling them into helplessness before cutting them down. The eldest Dark Eldar — fitting, given their own twisted relationship with Slaanesh — use their advanced technology to appear youthful and sexy. Psykers and daemons can see through their illusions, revealing the Dark Eldar for what they truly are: ancient decrepit monsters. The Emperor of Mankind's appearance changes depending on the beholder. The only ones who can see his true form are blanks, people with no Warp presence and what they see is an ordinary looking unremarkable man. |

The Laundry Files The series has a glamour as a spell any mildly-skilled sorcerer can cast. The usual ones are ranked on a scale of one to five, with one being "cover up minor imperfections," three being "make a humanoid entity look perfectly human," and five being "instill outright worship." At one point, Bob buys an iPhone and silently curses to himself that someone at Apple must be casting class five glamours over them. The Mandate seems to have a class 7 (or 8), describe by Mo as "You-gotta-believe-me field". Reverse glamour also exists, which is used as camouflage or for misdirection to hide things instead of making them look better. Very powerful ones can screw up visual identification by both electronics and human eyeballs (by making them want to vomit, making them have migraines, go into shock, or in some really bad cases, death from hemorrhage). These are extensively used by alfar military, given that their battle doctrine is "if you're seen you're dead". |

In Angel (IDW) After the Fall event, Los Angeles has been literally sucked into Hell with demons on the attack. The first few issues have characters assuming the outside authorities are trying to help but somehow blocked or that Hell has spread to other parts of the world. One manages to call a friend in another city and is thrown when they have no idea what he's talking about as all they see on the news is another normal night in L.A. with police chases, celebrity events and ball games. As the man is stunned, Angel relates he already figured out the Senior Partners cast a spell, so the rest of the world doesn't find it odd all travel to and from L.A. has ceased and everything is normal. Thus, the city will remain Hell on Earth with the rest of the planet oblivious. | |

It is implied that Time Lords possess this in Doctor Who: Even from the 1960s, the First Doctor makes a throwaway comment that his form is a kind of disguise. The Second Doctor seems to have an almost supernatural ability to make Wig, Dress, Accent perfectly convincing, which is exaggerated later by the character of the Master, whose evil powers are based around glamour. All the Time Lords in the novelisation of "Shada" are depicted using it on the humans to some extent — it seems to manifest as inhuman beauty for the conventionally beautiful Time Lords (Romana) and impossible charm and likeability for less conventionally beautiful ones (the Doctor and Chronotis). Chris cannot stop staring at Romana, thinking over and over that she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, even though he notices that he doesn't find her sexually attractive; and whenever Clare gets a scene with the Doctor she describes his appearance over and over again in her internal monologue, picking out mannerisms and features she finds irresistibly charming (like his smile, his voice, his nose, and things like how he runs and the particular way he reads a book) and finding herself driven to fill the 'companion' role by instinct, while at the same time well aware that she doesn't find him handsome and that it makes absolutely no sense for her to act that way or feel that way about him. Chronotis can get away with extreme rudeness, possible sinister intentions and the fact that he's been living at the university for centuries without visibly ageing by constantly projecting an air of harmlessness that makes everyone assume that he's such a nice person. |

The Marla Mason books feature the character of Joshua Kindler who is a "love talker" or Ganconer—a person with a rare innate magical talent that causes everyone around him to adore him and feel intense pleasure in his presence that becomes overwhelming with physical contact. It is not certain if this is a psychic effect, pheromones, or some other method of action. Like the mythical Gancanagh, sex with a love talker ruins you for anyone else and leaves you pining for the love talker's touch—only complete erasure of all memories of sexual experiences with the love talker can cure this. Many love talkers do not bother taking care of appearances or hygiene, and seduce people with their powers alone even when sloppily dressed. Joshua is an exception who is handsome even without his powers, in addition to being charming and fashion-conscious. Anyone even somewhat attracted to the male gender has their minds clouded with attraction and infatuation when around him, and those who are not attracted to the love talker's gender still have strong feelings of affection and protectiveness that seem parental or filial. | |

In The Dark Tower series (and a lot of other books by Stephen King), there exists a (kinda) subtle type of magic, and along with it a type of Glamour.

If the people around them don't expect to see anything supernatural, yordles end up beneath notice and are interpreted as merely short humans, it's only when people start paying close attention, fully expect their presence, or are Too Dumb to Fool do they get perceived as what they truly are. | |

In The 4400, Graham Holt took the Promicin shot and gained the ability to make anyone who walked within a certain distance of him to worship him and do anything he told them to. Eventually he had most of the city brainwashed, along with members of the Army and the police force. He could make them do anything, including violate the law. Also, his control didn't go away when the affected person left his vicinity. He was only stopped because Jordan Collier took away his ability. (Why he didn't fall under Graham's power himself was never explained.) | |

In the Scion roleplaying-system, powers like these can be wielded by scions with high stats in Appearance (positive) and Charisma. Basically, they're either so unearthly beautiful that you cannot help but be smitten with them at first sight, or so incredibly charming that you'll be hanging on their every word. Having either of those stats maxed out (or, GM forbid, BOTH) puts you on a level where you can have this sort of effect on the very gods! | |

The Faeries of Ars Magica all have their own Glamours, which are essentially their personal narrative, being that the Faerie Realm is the world of stories, change, and Clap Your Hands If You Believe. The stronger a faerie is, the more intricate and developed their story. A fae's Glamour informs their appearance, and they can do almost anything that's in line with their Glamour. But, the only way for faeries to make anything real or permanent is to use vis, the concentrated essence of magic. | |

Naminé in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories can rewrite people's memories so that they think she's their childhood friend and they're in love with her and so on, if that counts. It's not a sudden "as soon as she walks into a room everyone there is in love with her" kind of thing, but it does make her function in the story much the way a Mary Sue would in a fic, except that you're supposed to be thinking "wait who is this chick and why does Sora care so much about her all of a sudden". She can only use her powers on Sora or those who are close to his heart. | |

In Sailor Moon, the Sailor Senshi / Guardians / Scouts' magical transformations have a layer of Glamour on top, so that no one who sees the girls in and out of their Sailor forms will be able to recognize them. This comes up in the anime when Mina/ko (AKA: Sailor Venusnote AKA: Sailor V) joins the Senshi / Guardians / Scouts and then meets them in their civilian forms later; it takes a moment for Ami / Amy, Rei / Raye and Makoto / Lita to figure out that the blonde girl who just showed up at Rei / Raye's temple is Sailor Venus, and vice versa. | |
