As for Command, the intent seemed clear to me. The spell has been made more effective, though less flexible, and I really interepreted this change to be intentional. Now we see some interpretations that make the PC find invisible doors on one hand, and have free will to comply on the other hand.I just think this should be a level 2 spell, that's all.</blockquote>
