Default Re: [Spells] Why is Command a blocking spell, and how does it work?

Thank you. That does seems to be the correct interpretation, though it would have been better it the spell description actually mentioned that it can foil an attack. The only reason to suspect that it can foil an attack is that the spell type is "Blocking".

They are not my suggestions. They are written in the spell description in Spells as examples.
It is also mentioned in the spell description that the command such as "Wait!" does affect the next turn.
