You may select from the following options.Approach: On its turn, the subject moves toward you as quickly and directly as possible for 1 round. The creature may do nothing but move during its turn, and it provokes attacks of opportunity for this movement as normal.Drop: On its turn, the subject drops whatever it is holding. It can’t pick up any dropped item until its next turn.Fall: On its turn, the subject falls to the ground and remains prone for 1 round. It may act normally while prone but takes any appropriate penalties.Flee: On its turn, the subject moves away from you as quickly as possible for 1 round. It may do nothing but move during its turn, and it provokes attacks of opportunity for this movement as normal.Halt: The subject stands in place for 1 round. It may not take any actions but is not considered helpless.If the subject can’t carry out your command on its next turn, the spell automatically fails.Ok, these might seem like the only options.  But, in the revised tomb of horrors:Immunity to Magic (Ex): The demilich constructis immune to all spells, spell-like abilities, andsupernatural effects, just as if the attacker hadfailed to overcome spell resistance, except asfollows.A command spell “forget” causes the skull to sinkdown without sucking a soul.Each shatter spell thrown at it deals 10 points ofdamage if it fails its saving throw.A power word kill deals 10 points of damage if itfails its saving throw.An eyebite spell deals 10 points of damage on afailed saving throw.A dispel evil spell deals 5 points of damage.A holy word pronounced against it deals 20 pointsof damage on a failed saving throw.Sorry if I gave away the method to defeating the demilich and you are playing Tomb of Horrors <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /> .  However, what I meant to prove was that you are not limited to the options given in the spell.  So, what happens if I command my opponent to die?</blockquote>
