If we do that's going to mean the Lunar characters are going to need bumping up to give adequate opposition. The Lunar magic is balanced in that it varies from day to day so players can choose their timings, a permanent full time effect requires greater opposition with the danger of a silly power race.

Isn't bringing Olaf his sandwiches Ernaldan magic? In any case getting back up afterwards won't be achievable by jumping. As a one off I really like the idea but I don't think it should be a permanent feature.
