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

well that's less exciting, but I'll allow it

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

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

There’s always a flying nun.
