No, cancel magic is said not to cancel fear or charm.
(Although I have not tested it, relaying info I heard)

The least number of people in the Castle the better. There is
definitely a trick to pulling things solo in there. Especially
in the Maid and Butler room. More people creates more confusion.

My only options were to run or fight. And if I did run, these
things would/could have happened:

1) I run, Sog (now an npc with unlimited mana and range) nukes
me dead anyway.

2) I run, Davassi forces Sog to follow me, and then he breaks
charm in the middle of 10 deathly dingdongs.

3) I run, and myself get jumped by 10 deathly bitches.

4) I leave the room, and writhe in the grip of agony about
20 times.

5) I fight, and possiblely attract more attention from roamers.

6) I fight Sog, and still get nuked cause level 50 NPCs always
regain concentration.

7) I fight Sog, pixie strike him, 44 vs 50 (get resisted)

8) I Desperate Dirge Davassi, killing her and myself and
maybe Sog too.

... in a matter of seconds all that ran through my mind,
Starfire casting time is 6.2 seconds I believe. I had
approximately 12.4 seconds to figure out my plans. I
think I made the best choice. I pulled a 'fearplane'.
Get a loc, curl into a ball, and kiss your ass goodbye.

Harmonic.
