| The term "Charm" came from the ''[[Mirage]]'' design team, referencing a fantasy term for a small object with tiny amounts of magic. The name has become a staple for this type of effect, but the names now imply a small magical effect rather than a magical object.<ref>{{NewRef|making-magic/maros-command-2015-04-13|Maro's Command|[[Mark Rosewater]]|April 13, 2015}}</ref>
