      Pretty cool concept if you’re an outside observer

      • 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

        Limited range could still have a gradual transition

        If you like this concept, read Influx by Daniel Suarez.

          Stormlight Archive also has a magic similar to this (Lashings)

      Still contradicts the common concept of gravity where “down” is determined by mass, not by an arrow. A flat earth with arbitrary downs and ups explains this much better. Occam’s razor is clear on this.

        Have you considered the part where this is both magic and completely fictional?

                    That depends on the gravity of the situation.
