Blink Other: Not a Resisted spell

The Blink Spell implies active defense, like you're the one casting it. I don't know if a wizard deciding where you'd go makes more sense. Blink Other is just highly problematic in my mind.

I imagine it something like entering bullet-time. In the blink of an eye, everything freezes and you can fold spacetime to appear somewhere else nearby. If the wizard casts it on you, perhaps there is a telepathic sense of the danger or your minds momentarily merge. Magic?

But I'd be just as good with the wizard doing the deciding. Then they're simply pinching spacetime on the target's behalf. The target knows who's doing it and can decide whether to trust them or not (auto-resist). That makes it harder to justify blinking up to grab the chandelier. (Or maybe you apply a penalty to Body Sense if you substantially change their situation.)
