[PnP] Oblivion

[Alex Koponen]

    The question has arisen about whether the victim of an Oblivion 
spell always arrives back at the location they left.

In prior gaming as both GM and player the spell was interpreted as 
having the victim appear at the same spot he was at when struck by the 
spell IF and WHEN the duration of the spell expires. By paying twice the 
cost the caster can bring him back at any time. In prior play this has 
also been interpreted to mean that the caster can bring the victim back 
at any time and at any place within range of the caster when the caster 
spends the mana to bring the victim back.

Of course each GM can decide how the spell works (or doesn't) in their 
Universe.

Some simple tests should be able to determine how Oblivion works.

Note that some questions might easily be answered differently in 
different Universes.
Such as:   Does the spell work on inanimate objects?
                Does the spell work on inanimate objects containing 
other objects?
                Does the spell work on multiple objects?
                If cast on a ship out on the ocean and duration allowed 
to expire does the victim come back on the same place on the ship, or 
the same place on the ocean?
