You've mostly convinced me -- A Lilim wouldn't want to do that, for various reasons. But people do all kinds of stupid things in moments of rage, often things they almost instantly regret, but cannot undo. So I still think it might be possible for a Lilim to TRY it, whether it succeeds or not. As for wanting it, that's where we disagree. The basis of charm magic is making someone want something strongly enough that they act on it, despite not normally wanting to do so. This comes back to my comment on the difference between a species with toggle switches and a species with slider bars. By its very nature, charm magic might affect those slider bars in ways that could be horrifying. A man might well not want it at all, except at the moment it truly matters he's been mindfucked with charm magic so that at that moment he DOES want it. And then immediately regrets it after the charm magic wears off -- but it would be too late.
