So this is a Great Ghost Dance style ritual? With similar sorts of drain?
Did I read that right?

That *might* be possible within what FASA has presented us.

In order to manipulate space-time in some a fashion, requiring both brute
force and fine manipulation, would have a drain code measured in number of
deaths, not stun damage.

*IF* it was possible for some bright boy to even come up with this spell
(which, as you have seen, I would argue against this), then this sort of
drain code would be appropriate. And the effect you are talking about
would be possible.

This is probably the most appropriate answer (if I read and understood it
right) to the question of teleportation that I've seen; it's possible, but
so incredibly impractical as to be effectively useless and to become the
strict domain of the GM.

Not bad...
