My problem is casting it on yourself in front of the NPC ^^ You are basically making obvious your intent to magically influence the outcome of the conversation. I would be really pissed off if someone do that to me xD
I understand ...
It depeds on situation ... for pickpocketing it certainly could have some consequences.
But if we are talking here about dialogue options ... the other person are just helping our speaker to find the right words ...
Example with [Persuation]: Why would you be mad about the fact, that Shadowheart was praying in the back that you will hear reason in Tav speech? :P
After all, if Tav's attempt will be sucessfull ... you WILL hear reason in his words, and understands that he was actualy right. Therefore, you should be glad that Shadowheart said her prayer.
On the other hand, if Tav fails ... it would make sence that some superstitious primitive would start yelling "they tryed to hex me!"
