At first, I tried to combat the issue by placing scrolls around the "inner ring" to create a collision barrier that would keep people out of the middle while allowing potential duelists to still join future matches. However, it turns out that a player using the "ledge jump" bug (where you play in Windowed Mode, run forward, and click and hold the window "pane" or Wizard101 logo on the window; the bug is visible only to others looking at you, but you will "fly" through walls into space and infinite) can glitch themselves through the barrier.
So, my next idea was to create some kind of one-way ramp...but I was too lazy at the time to want to execute such a time-hoarding plan.
Welcome to the age of Wysteria's debut, and you know what that means: Teleporters!
This will be a two-part post; one will detail what "shadow floating" is along with a video demonstrating its use, and the second will show how to utilize "shadow floating" to your teleporters' advantage. So, let's get started!
"Shadow floating" was discovered on accident while I was working on the barrier scrolls. You can click on the link above, but if you're not able to hear the audio (or have 'Tube-phobia), I can elaborate what it is here.
Assuming you know the basics, "shadow floating" is a miracle in itself. When you create a platform (small rug attached to a larger rug; the larger rug will be known as the "platform") and place the combined rugs/platform down, you have created "shadows." (click on the pictures below to zoom in)

| Red line = perimeter of "shadows" | Blue line = perimeter of "no placing furniture here" zone |
The blue hashed line shows where you cannot initially place objects within. The Small Purple Rug and Chessboard have now created a temporary "shadow", which expands the "tangible" terrain. In other words, this is what happens to the blue line when the platform is set down and then picked up by the Small Purple Rug:

Placement of the rug and chessboard increased the area in which I can place objects down into. I can click on the Small Purple Rug as this point and create a "leap frog" effect by moving the rug into the space where the chessboard just was:
The Small Purple Rug is now sitting in the chessboard's FORMER shadow. Once you place the platform down into its previous shadow, that shadow disappears, and a NEW one is created, denoted by the red outline in the above picture. Let's do it again:
And again...
And one more time...
Still unclear? Check out this video where I demonstrate how to float the barriers and teleporters close to the battle circle:
