And if one wants to be challenged more as somebody using creations: one can always raise the difficulty level.
Perhaps when you absorb a creation the xp should be transferred to you, with appropriate scaling of course. But only when you absorb, not when the creation is killed. You could use it to collect extra xp from low level enemies by using low level creations though.
