In other words a spot where they would LIKE to end their turn. Another tactic there might be to ready an action to use the FS attack, though that generally won't be necessary. I guess a cunning player could ready a move action to move the sphere up to an orc too, lol. The upshot is that you're denying the enemy an area to move into vs denying them the ability to stay in an area they are already leaving. In the SOT example there is zero control, the orcs do exactly what they already wanted to do. In the EOT example there IS control, the wizard is just not understanding how to use it. He CAN stop the enemy from ending its turn in spots he wants them to avoid.Note that this is the extreme case of FS, BUT it actually is a perfect illustration SOT = all damage, no control. EOT = all control, no damage. Reality will be more grey, but it reveals the nature of the difference perfectly.</blockquote>
