I want to have a knockback effect, quick but brief, and Wing Buffet isn't quite doing it. The shortest duration there is 1 second, which for good speed sends characters half-way across the map. I've tried adding a buffet in the opposite direction right after the first, but that only detracted from speed. Immunity to Effect following Wing Buffet doesn't stop the ongoing effect as it does in some other cases (it cuts off animations playing with opcode 215, for example). I don't insist on using Wing Buffet, but what else is there? Some kind of brief teleport - but how to make creatures teleport away?

 

The knockback will be used in a round kick. I've implemented the Jump spell from the Player's Handbook, and I thought it would be a nice touch to let jumping fighters land with a round kick.
