The spell does specify voluntary muscles only.

"Drop your weapon" is particularly good after your opponent has just spent three turns and 9+ FP charging up that Fireball.

Give the fencing master instructing the wrong heir a spasm so he doesn't pull his blow, making sure the right heir comes into line. Or the other way around; have a defense by the prince fail (which has the bonus that there's no one to claim that they had a mysterious Spasm strike them).

Save the prince by making him drop the glass into which the evil vizier slipped the poison.

Trip a victim into a pit or off a bridge into the lava or obligatory Evil Overlord bottomless pit.

Choke on your tongue, which at the least will make spellcasting difficult. Add Reflex to give you a spell interrupt.

Let go of a bowstring or pull that trigger during the tense standoff where someone's trying to avoid violence. Have the "bad" guys shoot their own hostage.

Drop the bombs early, so they at least miss their intended target.

Cut the red wire! Nope, you got the blue one.

Let go of a rope right after the Spaniard has sworn on the soul of his father that his opponent will reach the top alive.

Hit Atlas to make him drop the sky onto the world. That'll probably set some sort of record for damage per energy point.
