      Maybe gravity still affects the sword, so when they pointed it right, “up” went right for everyone along a curve.

        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?
