Now explain this observation with the globe earth model.

The sword of surface normal vector
Limited range
Pretty cool concept if you're an outside observer
If you like this concept, read Influx by Daniel Suarez.
starred comment, thanks for the recommendation
Stormlight Archive also has a magic similar to this (Lashings)
Limited range could still have a gradual transition
well that's less exciting, but I'll allow it
Thanks
There’s always a flying nun.
Still contradicts the common concept of gravity where "down" is determined by mass, not by an arrow. A flat earth with arbitrary downs and ups explains this much better. Occam's razor is clear on this.
Have you considered the part where this is both magic and completely fictional?
No
Skill issue
you fool, you've doomed us all!
Sorry, I didn't intended that
Admit it. You did.
Does it even matter? It's too late anyway
That depends on the gravity of the situation.
I don't believe in gravity
But gravity believes in you!
Maybe the sword controls gravitons.
Maybe it doesn't.
The earth is flat, but its flat in spherical spacetime. Checkmate atheists
Maybe gravity still affects the sword, so when they pointed it right, "up" went right for everyone along a curve.
These hairy balls suggest otherwise
Easy: 2/3 of the planet is now devoid of life.
