Characters in games, moving from place to place without the journey being explained is quite common and does not count for this tag. Enemies ofter suddenly appear nearby, this also does not count. But if the player can use some spell or machine to alter the form of an item or character from something other than ordinary matter, then send this new substance to a different location to be changed back into the original form, then this tag applies.
