-The brief casting time, incorporating [[Spellcasting|the spell's discharge]] as well, permits the caster to employ the rest of his or her action points in the same round.  Because any word can be chosen, the spell is extremely versatile, especially if the player is creative in its use.  Common verbs include "grovel," "flee" or "halt," but imaginative examples also include "ponder," "desecrate" or "jump" — with the last being used at the right moment.  Casters should be careful to avoid words such as "execute," as the spell cannot specify an object for the verb.  In such cases, recipients who fail save will merely stand around.
