a football kicked from outside of the range would suddenly gain horizontal speed within the range, and then exit the range at freefall speed into the goal.
a nun walking from outside of the range would suddenly glide like a dark screaming angel of death across the field within the range, only to then end in a series of fantastic rolls after leaving it
a man on a pogo stick would do a super massive horizontal jump across the field, and the use that potential energy to one final massive jump after leaving the range
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.
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
Limited range could still have a gradual transition
well that’s less exciting, but I’ll allow it
Thanks
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)
There’s always a flying nun.

Have you considered the part where this is both magic and completely fictional?
No
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
Skill issue
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.
