Yep! From the other direction.

"Erm."

"Okay, maybe we can figure out if it's consistent?"

"Consistent how?"

Shrug. "I mean, generally if there is a direction we can go that allows us to leave or something..."

"We originally came from that way," she says, pointing, "so maybe we can leave by going there."

"Okay, let's try."

Back back back no spire "okay I think we're out... so someone probably wants to keep us out."

"How rude. Do you think we should check it out?"

"Definitely. I'm just not sure how, I didn't see any magic there, did you?"

"No, I didn't."

"So... the magic is hidden somewhere... and the obvious way to do it would be behind the spatial distortion effect itself."

"Well, that is just cheating."

"Yeah. So it's possible there's people behind the effect and they're laughing at us."

"Wow, what a bunch of jerks, these hypothetical people are."

"Aren't they just? But we need to figure out a way to. Undo the space thing."

Nod. "How hard would it be to map the effect? Like, make a bunch of lines in the air and see when they behave weirdly."

"Not hard—" She does that, lines of light in the air going straight ahead...

...and returning from whence they came.

"Okay, that's expected, I guess."

"Do you think you could... basically shrink down the grid so we have something like a map?"

"Not with this spell. I'm not entirely sure how I'd—actually you can help with that, crafting spells is just thinking of good definitions of their effects."

"Alright, let's do this."

"So we want a grid of lights that keeps its shape while it's shrunk. How large should it be? What should it do about solid objects?"

"Could you make the light go through objects? If so, when shrunk, it could change color, blue for air, red for when it's going through something solid."

"Instead of shrinking we could have a scaled down map, that copies the larger grid?" Temperance offers. "Also, we could try capture an imagine of the grid from a distance to see how it changes as it moves through space."

They discuss for a while longer and eventually come up with a spell design they're all satisfied with.

"Wanna do the honours?"

Of course she does! Cast!
