Why can't a cleric dismiss charmed creatures

[Club'in]

I was trying to use Symbol of Persuasion the other day, and was bummed to find out that I didn't have the break charm ability in my feat list. What's up with that, devs?

Even arcanes can't break the charm of a Symbol of Persuasion at the moment anyhow with Dismiss Charm. Due to that, if your divine had Dismiss Charm it wouldn't do you too much good. ;)

You can use "dispel magic" or "break enchantment" on them, but be prepared to fail a few times trying to beat the DC.

In addition, now that summons last 10 minutes could we please get a desummon ability? Waiting 8 minutes for my fluffy (er sorry, my summon monster IX) to despawn so I can advance is very annoying. He steps on puzzle pieces (monastery of the scorpion, enter the kobold) and attacks whatever he wants (the spiders in let sleeping dust lie). Being able to desummon him when I don't want him would be very useful.

Yep that would be nice. Ran into an unexpected beholder the other night, that dispelled a lvl 9 summoned monster. **** thing killed me before I realized he was batting for the wrong team. Later we had to stand around at click off buffs waiting for him to go away before attempting to kill another beholder. I was just me and a cleric so we need the the help getting to the beholders, but it would have been much simpler if we could have dismissed him when we got there.

Yeah, I was using Break Enchantment, but it was burning through my spell points, and hit or miss like you said.
