[QUOTE="humble minion, post: 8495739, member: 5948"] The interesting things about it for me are that the charm explicitly has a fixed duration rather than a concentration duration, that the target is charmed by the caster as well as the summoned fey (so will continue to be charmed if the fey gets killed), and also that it's effectively a Charm Monster spell - no restrictions on target creature type. If you can keep your summoned fey alive (not a trivial exercise, considering how vulnerable it is at this level) you could potentially charm a new target every round. Though it's an easier charm to break than most - if the target takes damage from ANY source the spell ends, not just if it takes damage from you or your allies. So the classic 'make my enemies fight each other' shenanigans aren't going to last for long. I'm not sure about the melee output. 2x 2d6+7 force damage is nothing to be sneezed at, but your fey is real fragile and might not get that off many times before someone casually blats it out of existence.
