just as a matter of comparison, the prayer peace comes to my mind as a spell
able to do exactly what you say... but my point is that the "real work" of the
summoner is done while charming a monster, and it would sound fair to me that
the experience is given by doing that work... and maybe doing so will give
summoners an easier way to go. right now if you run into a room full of monsters
those monsters usually have pretty similar protections and spells, so waiting
for your charmed pets to kill such similar monsters might get you a long while. 
Since your charmed pets can kill other monsters for you after charmed i said to
give just a part of the xp when the monster is charmed, and so you would also
like to wait and see if your pet can kill another monster and get some more xp.

just my point of view anyway :)
