Charm and fear are not working here and it should stay that way.
It worked for a little while in classic (read: prekunark) with aoe fear being its own seperate little retarded entity.
Then it was looked into because someone within range could fear someone and then ANY PLAYER could attack the feared person (hi2u conflagging a lvl 30 some for an SMR).
I'll tell you another fun story of things that shouldn't work that did for a while on live.
I was linkdead and had disintigrate up for some reason (Velious era). An enchanter friend hit me with his shissar stick, resisted a casted disintigrate then promptly raptured me and ran.
Charm/fear working as intended here.
One change that needs to exist, though, is that charming a mage pet (maybe necro pet too, I just remember seeing it happen to mages) while under control by its owner would make the pet suicide. Not sure what happens here but things like bard song, puppet strings etc should gib summoned (at least mage) pets.
