I had only one casting of Word-Send left for the day after several moves in the chess game I was playing with The King. By the time I could cast anything more powerful, it would be too late. I had to tell the King that if he did as planned, and retreated to his summer castle, he would be ambushed. But I had only three words, and I couldn't be sure a traitor wouldn't be there when he received it in smoke.
But then, we were chess players.
"O-O is Checkmate" was just enough to get the message across safely.
