The truth is, my Earth is pretty much ordinary spatially, but I spend much of my time in its spirit world. In the spirit world, spatial dimensions are altered. Two places that are physically far off could have a mystical connection that lets you move between them instantly. Like that. Also, spirits are basically energy, so they can zap themselves great distances in a short time.
