Charm could be charisma with Aris inside. But unsure.

Can you parse it also?

Thanks.

Thank you Lie-in King.

I had heard of grisgris before but was unaware of grees as steps.

Happy to help :-)

Chambers has "gree"..."a step (obs)"...the plural comes from the alt sp's which can be - (primarily) "grece", then - "grees; grese; greece; greese; grice; griece; gris; grise; grize; greesing; gressing & even grecian"
