The penance stare can even work if someone or something doesn't have a soul. It can be used as an advantage like in the first movie of the ghost rider, when blackheart was immune to the penance stare when he didn't have a soul. Here's where it can be used as an advantage: When blackheart was able to get his hands on the contract of San vagansa he consumed 1000 souls, which gave Johnny Blaze the opportunity to use it on blackheart.

So if the host has consumed, devour or whatever the person or something has done anything like that then it can be useful.
