Thank you, gentlemen, this all really helped cement my ruling once I re-read the power.
Crappy descriptions like that under the power Distort Space arise from poor editorial oversight and lack of game-testing.

Picture two foot a piece of rope held taut between a person's hands, with an ant on one wanting to travel across to the other. The ant could travel across the rope, and it would take some time to do so. If the person was to move their hands together so that the ends of the rope were touching, the ant could simply step across in a fraction of the time, while the full length of the rope was essentially unaltered.
"A Wrinkle in Time" is a great book. I'm hoping that my 8 yr old son will be able to read it soon.
