Maybe :). What happens if you decide you are trapped and target
yourself with say a stun bolt and knock yourself out, you are
unconcious and snap back directly to your body. There has been
some discussion here about this before but there is a comment to this
effect someplace in the rules. The other one supported by the
literature but not the rules is that giving a mage a slap across the
face can snap them directly back to thier body (but even the novels
vary on this one). This could offer a way out, sure you better have
left your body somewhere you can afford to sleep it off for a while
but at least you aren't dead.
