Default Re: blink other spell help

There has been no official word on the interpretation as far as I know.

The way most people read it, it works as follows:
-It is cast as reaction to someone being attacked.
-It is cast on the target of the attack and thus has normal range penalties to the target. (This is the most unclear/uncertain part and could well be ruled that there is no range penalty as none is listed under blocking spells)
-There is resistance listed and thus not needed.
-The target of the attack is moved the same way as if he had himself cast the blink spell.

But I have been a player in a campaign where the GM saw it as blinking the attacker and in one of the past threads on the subject there was someone else too who had similar view. But my reading of the spell really cannot see how that would be the case.
