This is perfect for those of us that collect +CHA items. In the bank I have a box of charisma items for buying arrow components and mass selling; Faydark Ringmail, Medal of Merit, and a couple of rings. This would be a nice addition to get those arrow costs down.
My guess is that the Erudite Sentinels are Warriors and so the tag has to be there so they can use them. Pretty lame damage for a 2 hander. Nice Charisma though. Wait, scratch the lame damage, that's a nice delay.
Actually, the sentinels are paladins not warriors. Stand around the entrance to Erudin for a while and sooner or later one of them will cast a spell. No warrior that I've ever seen could do that.
