As you know I ascribe to the battery way of SU. Your PWR just says how
many you can output in a spell and how much can come back into you with
rest.

If you have the Units and there is something to manipulate you should
be able to cast. On Kevin's little plane of Earth air spells should still
work if there is air there which there seemed to be. We weren't in a
vacuum. But once you are out of units I might give you you can't get
any back ( or at least not as many as you put out ).

I just want to know what spell was actually cast that got us there. It
can't be Blue field spells as suggested because when we came out we
were damaged and you NEVER come out of a blue field worn out from some
other dimension that you can't remember. Actually I don't want to know
how we got there I'm just saying that what was told to us couldn't be
it. I had fun while there anyhow.
