I would Command the Ravers to lose their ability to possess. Without bodies to take control of, they would remain forever ineffectual, a fate worse then death for a being that is immortal. And it would completely cripple Foul's ability to manipulate events from afar.

Then I would have Bannor Command the IllEarth Stone to cease to work for Foul only. This would release Kevin, save Elena and further cripple Foul, for surely he would never allow one of his cronies to use such a powerful item, in fear of being overthrown himself.

OF course, I say this from the safety of home, without Kevin pounding on my girl..in a panic, I would likely Command something horrendous and blight the entire Land lol

You know that old adage, "Be careful of what you wish for" and whenever I think or dream of a genie ever granting me a wish I remember in Aladdin: Return of Jafar when someone wished for great treasure and the evil genie transported him to a sunken ship under the sea! So the Power of Command can work the same way. Anyway, if I were to have a sip of the Earthblood I would command the Ravers to go to the very tip of Melenkurion Skyweir and to remain there and never leave.

I think in Covenants case I would have used the Power in order to try to undo the harm I had done to Lena and her family (I know Covenant had tried to make reparation with the Ranhyin but this had clearly failed). I think the Kevin summoning idea was the bad idea to top all bad ideas - as indeed it proved to be - and simplistic ideas like commanding Foul out of existence would no doubt have reverberated with consequences that would have made matters worse rather than better. Hence my use of it would have been perhaps less ambitious but hopefully more productive. :goodnevil:

I would command that Lord Fouls Voice and Intent not reach the ears or minds of any that can obey. cutting off his arms and legs...at the same time chant to the Ravers...you are now the protectors of Trees and life, if Foul wanted to do things he would have to get off his ass and do it himself. Since Lord Foul is outside the ability of Law and Time I would make that command to anything within the arch...ravers... elohim... people animals Urviles, Stone.. wood..water...wind... fire... etc.... but the outcome of that may also be the end of the age of magic and lore turning the land into nothing more than what we have right here.

it might go something like this.... Foul says "Satansfist ... I command you to go and gather my Armies in Mount thunder...... ............. Satansfist..did you hear me?"

"SATANS FIST!!!!!!! FLESHHARROWER!!! KINSLAUGHTER!!!! do you hear me!!!!?!?!? (silence) Then i must do it myself... where is my Illearth stone..... (foul places hands on the stone) nothing....taps stone.... its cold and unresponsive... oohhhh Blackhawk... you are the defacation of a Raver... DAMN YOU FOR Eternity!!!!!

How about Commanding the ravers to have a daily picnic on Gallows Howe?

That's annoy them.

In the GI, Donaldson wrote:Anything that lives carries within it the seeds of its own destruction. (And our own bodies demonstrate just how *many* seeds there can be.) The alternative is stasis. Indeed, anything that doesn't both grow and die (usually in that order) can't really be described as being alive. So if the Creator wanted to make a living world, he pretty much had to supply the means for the eventual ending of that world. Hence, to my way of thinking, the tangible existence of the Worm of the World's End doesn't conflict at all with the general cosmology put forth by the Lords.

It would be a hard choice to make...I'd probably order the Fire-Lions to kill every Corrupted creature that tries to leave Mount Thunder. Dunno how much good it would do against the Ravers,though... :?

The Earthblood simply is natural on that world. It's just the way it is.

I once suggested, however, that it wasn't. I suggested it was one of Lord Foul's banes. No way can anyone use it safely. Some will try to do good, and screw it up with unforseen consequences. Others will try to do harm. It serves Foul pretty well, so maybe he put it there. Of course, that's not what happened, but I thought it was a fun theory.
