Method And Explanation[]
Baldur's Gate I
When the Dimension Door spell is targetted at the caster itself, (s)he moves a tiny bit, depending on the position of the mouse click in the character's circle. This can be used to move the character closer to a wall, not normally reachable by simply walking towards the wall. This has been successfully used in Baldur's Gate I to trigger the area transition of the palace without opening the door. See the video below.
