The answer

It appears there is no harm in describing a writer's style as highly influential and captivating to people's hearts, and this is supported by the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, some eloquence is magic." It is better for a speaker to be careful with their words and only say what they are sure is sound.
