| A '''Charm''' is a [[modal]] [[instant]] spell with three possible results of which one can be selected. Charms usually appear in horizontal [[cycle]]s. So far there have been charms at common that cost a single colored mana, charms at uncommon that cost three different colored mana centered around one color with its two [[allies]] and charm at uncommon costing two colored mana.<ref>{{DailyRef|making-magic/investment-part-3-2012-09-17|Return on Investment, Part 3|[[Mark Rosewater]]|September 17, 2012}}</ref> According to [[Mark Rosewater]] in 2014, players like these Charms and he was pretty sure they would see them again (knowing that would appear in ''[[Khans of Tarkir]]'').<ref>{{EzTumblr|http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/93657395268/any-chance-well-see-charms-again-not-lucky-but-the|title=Any chance we'll see charms again?|August 03, 2014}}</ref>

| 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>{{DailyRef|making-magic/maros-command-2015-04-13|Maro's Command|[[Mark Rosewater]]|April 13, 2015}}</ref>
