Those other races of enchanter obviously get the job done, so their charisma is by definition adequate. Thus the int-focused high elf represents a perfectly valid option for a player who wants more starting intelligence as an enchanter.

Max mana pool means almost nothing with C2. Enc gearing is 205 CHA > FT 8 > HP > AC - all of your options basically have some combo of int/mana on them too.

How many times are you going to die running oom as an enc vs. dying to a bad pet break?

Anyone not going max CHA high elf enc is just missing out on an opportunity to replace their pure CHA gear with beefier stat gear later on (think neriad shawl --> shawl of perception, vyemm gloves, etc). You have illusion spells, use them if you don't like the high elf look.
