Modern English language dictionaries define charisma as a noun in two senses; for example,
1.compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others.
2.a divinely conferred power or talent.
The plural is charismata. The adjective charismatic has two meanings similar to these senses.[1] For some theological usages the term is rendered charism, its meaning the same as sense 2.[2]
As described in the History section, theologians and social scientists have expanded and modified the original Greek meaning to the two distinct meanings above. For ease of reference, we will call the first sense personality charisma and the second spiritual charisma. IN WIKIPEDIA
