This bardic music allow you to use a perform check against sonic spells and language-dependent magical attacks. For the sonic spells there's no problem to understand which they are, I just have to look if it has the Sonic descriptor, but how to recognize language-dependent spells? The manual refers to the command spell, but what about, for example, charme? The caster has to speak to the charmed creture, so can this one be considered as affected by the countersong ability?
Is there a list of all the affected spells?

The caster doesn't need to speek the creature. The creature is charmed and consider the caster as his best friend, regardless any word anyone can say
Anything that the caster can say AFTER the creature is charmed isn't part of the spell but is simple talking and cannot be coutered because it isn't magical at all... it's speaking

08-25-06, 06:59 AM For a spell to be language dependant, it must have the [language dependant] descriptor. See suggestion.

Charm is not language dependant, so countersong offers no protection.
