[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8588471, member: 7032025"] Well, there have been numerous discussions about the speed of light (assuming that it's not infinite, by the way) in D&D settings, as well as gravity, etc. so why not the speed of sound. Just so that you know, in our campaigns, air is not composed of O2 and N2 and other minor stuffs, it's just stuff from the elemental plane of air, which is just one element. Same as fire, which is often just stuff from the elemental plane of fire, not combustion that needs combustible and comburant and leaves a residue. It does, the thing is that an instant is already something not defined by the rules, and for a good reason, it's a narrative element. After that, if you want other things to happen in an instant, one after the other, well, they happen in instants too, which does not preclude the whole process to happen in an instant as well. Indeed. Sorry, once more, this is not what is written in the spell. The WHOLE SPELL happens in an instant, that is all that we know. And we also know, because it's written plainly in the description, is that the boom occurs after the disappearance, not the teleport. And that the spell dissociated disappearance and appearance in its description. But it does, it takes "an instant". It doesn't say "zero time", which by the way, would be silly, because if it were really zero time, there would not be any reason for the caster not to be caught in his own blast, for example.
