I am genuinely puzzled by this logic. If one spell that violates one's
personality has its uses, than why not employ another one? Or is it
just because it is mostly used on muggles? Then why not go ahead and
use the other three on them? Wait, I know why, it would be a breach of
the Stature of Secrecy.
