I'm struggling for a word... Stopping? Incapacitating? (spells that force the target to just stop what they are doing in a fairly non-lethal way).  What [USER=6704184]@doctorbadwolf[/USER] is talking about is the compulsion spells where you force someone to do something and you can force them to do, more or less, anything.  What you are talking about are the Incapacitating spells, which, I would agree, generally aren't going to be any more evil than direct damage stuff.Granted, this is a pretty far tangent from Dragonlance.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
