]Actually, therein lies another ball of yarn: does conservation of momentum,
]inertia, and kinetic energy occur? DO you actually have to "move" uphill if
]you get "squirted" through astral space? Couldn't it just squirt you through
]to the exact point? Distances (I believe) are a different concept in astral
]space.

Distances are a matter of thought in Astral space, but regardless, what is
referred to here is potential energy, which goes up regardless of what happens
in astral space if you 'port uphill. Energy goes up, therefore you had to have
added to it somehow.

]Another way to do it is to give off heat, light, and possibly sound... the
]distinctive *bamf* could be due to the production of sound.

In that particular case, the "bamf" is the by-product of opening a dimensional
rift to god only knows where, accompanied by brimstone.
In game terms, the accompaning noises are the rush of air when the matter which
was taking up space suddenly disappears, and the pop as matter which didn't
exist there a second ago suddenly displaces all the atmosphere around it.
