Pfft. That's silly.
...admittedly, Ancient Belka could probably manage it. Things like that were probably children's toys in Al-Hazard. Why do you think that that's what's happening, though?

From where I was, I could see the sources of the beams- three enemy units, flying along slowly behind them. If I could shoot straight, they'd regret that. As it is... Tre, I hope to Odin you know what you're doing.
[Mal, begin Dimensional Transfer. Use Saved Coordinate Set 1.]
[BEGINNING DIMENSIONAL TRANSFER CALCULATIONS. STABLE PLATFORM REQUIRED FOR TRANSIT.]

Tre blinked in surprise. "I didn't hear you call Uno."
I smirked, a little more confident now. "Dimensional transit spell. It's... oh, about forty-five seconds from completion." [RECALIBRATING COUNTDOWN. TWENTY SECONDS TO TRANSIT.] My eyes went wide in surprise. "...or it might be closer to fifteen. Interesting."

"Yes, I do, and no, I didn't. The transfer itself accelerated, and I don't know why! Malleus, is the spell still within safety limits?"
"JA. ACHT SEKUNDEN. SIEBEN. SECHS." My circle formed at my feet; Tre noticed, and moved in closer. "DREI. ZWEI. EIN."
Malleus didn't have to say 'Zero'. We were already in the lab by then.
