See, I don't think I'd be brave enough to stick my arm through a tear in reality unless I was absolutely sure I knew what was on the other side, and even then I probably wouldn't for fear of it closing and tearing my arm off, but mad props to your character for trying.
Ha, same here! Makes me think of that weird test in the Flash Gordon film where they have to put their hands into a nest of scorpion things. Or in Jaws when someone is half-in-half-out of the water. In fact, now I think about it, blind doorways have always freaked me out a bit.
Didn't bring it up last chapter, but I was wondering if someone "straddling" a portal could draw upon magic.
Yup.
Nice gag.
Also underscores fundamental differences between magic and other energies. An AI couldn't stand in Mid-Earth with a cable run into Max-Earth to recharge a simulant, could it?
Speaking of simulants, pretend I made a really good Red Dwarf reference here. Something about Justice World.

Now I've got the image of Chris Barrie playing Justin stuck in my head.
And no, other forms of energy can't be easily transferred. Even communications are a bit of a faff, requiring physical transfer at the transit point.
Ok, but it's Chris Barrie as Hologram Ace Rimmer, cuz I don't think Justin is a prat and smeg-head..
