Wait until level 12 when you have Illusion:Dark Elf. If you want Enchant
Silver before that, hire an inkie to buy it for you.

Nope.

Yes. Animations are in permanent "guard me" mode, but a charmed pet will
follow all normal pet commands except "get lost".

Not sure. Mez and the like are the strong points of the Enchanter class.
Even at L5, you should notice that it saves your life quite a bit.

It basically stuns a mob for 24 seconds OR until the mob gets attacked or
takes damage. You can only use it on something that doesn't have a DOT on
it and is not under attack by your pet or a party member.

Think of it as a spell that says "don't do anything until I'm ready to
deal with you". Use it:
- If you accidentally get more than one foe, to make one wait while you
kill the other.
- If your pet dies while soloing, to make your target wait while you mem
the animation spell and summon another pet.
- If you're about to run to the guards, to give yourself a 24 second
headstart.

It's starved for attention.

No. Being agnostic is usually the best choice. Having a religion will
affect your faction even when you have an illusion up, which is a bad
thing.
