I've always had issues with how Blink is both handled and described as being.

In my own head-canon, skilled users of Blink could literally teleport from one area to another, ie. folding space, slip outside of reality, what-have-you.

Corvo, in D1 at least, physically moved "on winds" or some nonsense and went in a straight line from one area to the other. Supposedly this is how ALL users handle it, it's just shown differently.

However, this explanation doesn't hold water when, during the Flooded District mission, one Whaler tells another to not look at the area he wants to go to, but visualize it with his mind.

So, if he "visualizes" a room that is currently closed, or in another building that has physically barriers, such as walls, how does he get there via these "winds"? That makes no sense.

Basically, in your example with the witches, the best I can say is that this is just game mechanics set to react that way, and kinda 'cheat' with letting the witches get past the wall of light.
