Hm. That tracks. My best guess is that this place must be some kind of liminal space between universes, and some either intentional force, or malfunction, is bringing us here. But, it's a hypothesis that's still yet to be tested, and perhaps the best place to begin is comparing notes.
It might give us, at least, a preliminary sketch at the differences in magic we might encounter. which should ultimately give us a better read on the kind of magic used here.
