Adversaries are here listed in the decreasing order of their strength. While it is clear that at the center of the adversarial field are situated those who did not get their fated spouse (to be found under Human below) and the charmsayers that enact their wishes, it is the Supernatural beings (especially the Devil) and a few Animals that forcefully act to frighten and suppress the target aimed at in the charm.
