a football kicked from outside of the range would suddenly gain horizontal speed within the range, and then exit the range at freefall speed into the goal.
a nun walking from outside of the range would suddenly glide like a dark screaming angel of death across the field within the range, only to then end in a series of fantastic rolls after leaving it
a man on a pogo stick would do a super massive horizontal jump across the field, and the use that potential energy to one final massive jump after leaving the range
Pretty cool concept if you’re an outside observer
There’s always a flying nun.
Limited range could still have a gradual transition
well that’s less exciting, but I’ll allow it
Thanks
If you like this concept, read Influx by Daniel Suarez.
Stormlight Archive also has a magic similar to this (Lashings)
