Message: <blockquote data-quote="ECMO3" data-source="post: 9863669" data-attributes="member: 7030563">It says "away from [the caster]" the direction is away.Change the analogy a little a nuclear weapon is about to land in the city and I tell you -  "Get in your car and drive away from here by the fastest means available"  Your interpretation is driving 150mph in a circle which are slightly ever widening meets that requirement and follows those directions.  I think in terms of the strict literal meaning of the words in quotes it does, but it is not consistent with my intepretation of what the sentance actually means.No, it specifically says you spend your turn "moving", these things require an action.  This is also why you can't open a door that requires the utilize action or cast misty step or cast teleport or Haste.   Those things are not movement.You can do things which can be done as part of movement, for example drawing a weapon or calling out instructions to another PC or using your interaction.  If you are concentrating on Conjure Celestial you could move the Celestial to a new position to hurt enemies or heal allies as that is part of your movement per the wording of the spell.If you were incorporeal, like if the target is a ghost it absolutely would go through a wall.  If the target had the ability to shift into the border ethereal without an action or bonus action it would be open to interpretation, but I don't actually think that puts you further away than being on the material plane in the same place, but I could see that you could argue it would (and most enemies would choose to anyway).If you are standing in front of a portal that you do not need a Utilize or Magic action to go through, then yes I think you would run through it to whatever plane is on the other side.These are all highly situational strawmen that are being thrown up though.If the spell was worded differently and it said you need to take an action to get as far away as you can possibly get, then yes you would need to cast those, but that would actually be way OP and would be substantially different mechanically.</blockquote>
