Uh, that was my point--that it is nice to have one spell at least
that is that fast.  Sorry if I didn't make my meaning clear.
 
This brings up an idea.  If you are really concerned about the power of the
command spell (I'm not, but then I'm often a cleric :-)) in your game, 
you could decree it longer to cast.  That would put a dent in it, as it
would be harder to cast without interruption--especially against MUs.
