That is in the same dimension.

New page

In [[RuneScape]], '''Straddling''' is the ability of a being or object to exist in more than one [[plane]] at any given time. Typically, beings capable of straddling are immensely powerful in a [[magic]]al sense, and as a result very few have ever successfully managed to do so. The term itself is rarely used in RuneScape, but can be seen most explicitly on the official RuneScape website's article on the [[Spirit Realm]].

The means by which a being is able to exist in multiple dimensions at once remains unclear. Given that the few beings known to have done so are all vastly different in terms of [[race]], nature, and abilities, it seems likely that there are multiple methods of initiating the state.

== Examples of Straddling ==

Perhaps the most well known example of straddling can be seen in the behavior of the [[Spirit Beast]], an ancient being featured prominently in the [[Spirit of Summer]] and [[Summer's End]] [[quest]]s. The Spirit Beast, initially confined to a Spirit Realm occupied solely by itself and those it imprisoned there, attempted to enter [[Gielinor]] by tearing apart the fabric of reality separating Gielinor from the Spirit Realm. In doing so, it could drain the souls of Gielinor's entire populace, granting it virtually limitless power.

The [[Balance Elemental]], a [[Guardian of Guthix|Guardian]] appointed to protect the [[Stone of Jas]] by the [[deity]] [[Guthix]], is known to exist in multiple dimensions at any one time. This is evidenced by the entry on its [[RuneScape Duel Card]]. It is unclear how or why it is capable of doing this, or what dimensions it occupies besides Gielinor.

[[Solus Dellagar]], a powerful mage best-known for his role in the [[Edgeville Incident]] in Year 162 of the [[Fifth Age]], is the only known [[human]] capable of dimensional straddling. Dellagar, through unknown methods, is capable of slowing the [[teleportation]] process to a point that he exists in three places at once: the original point on Gielinor from which he teleported, the point on Gielinor at which he intends to arrive, and in the [[Abyss]] that separates the dimensions. This ability is observed first-hand during the [[Wanted!]] quest.
