Command spell

"You give the subject a single command, which it obeys to the best of its ability at its earliest opportunity. You may select from the following options."

In our game last night, I was telling another player he had to choose from the list of command words in the spell description but he was saying since it only says "may" and not "must" that they were only examples and that he could choose any word he wants.

Who was right?

Thanks

The GM. if you're doing PFS than that list of words is the one you can use.

Command is NOT DOMINATE PERSON. You were right here. The usage of the word may is used in a lot of choice based spells and abilatys. Just because it says an alchemist CAN take a discovery didn't mean he is allowed to make one up.

The may there does not mean make one up if you want, it means you may select no option as well.
