Spiritual Battlefield; PLOTHOLES!

This world idea hinges on a setting detail: everyone (or at least a main character or majority) has the ability to transcend reality temporarily through trances to a mystic plane of some form of puzzle or conflict or simple game (though it might be simpler if everyone's was the exact same fighting thingummy?), referred to as the spiritual battlefield. The purpose of doing this is that it abstracts everything (and may grant additional or technical superpowers both earthly and battlefieldwise) and allows them to accomplish it with increased efficiency given sufficient training either earthly or on the battlefield because magic (as a more difficult or complex task generates a more difficult or complex spiritual battlefield accordingly), with progress, actions, and failure in the abstracted task correspondent to progress, actions, and failure with the normal action. This results in a large amount of fighters abusing household chores to train literally beyond humanly possible, thinkers using mindgames to effectively pause time and give them infinite action points, and people who are sufficiently good at (or good at exploiting) their spiritual battlefield becoming nigh-omnicapable (if not outright nigh-omnipotent in certain cases). Joint tasks (two or more people using spiritual battlefields with or against each other) either cause an abstraction merge (two games become one) or abstraction irrelevance (where they do it normally but the representative actions of the other still affect the case).

This will probably take place as a creative work or RP, because the effort required to create several types of game and pit them at each other would take effort, especially for hard-to-comprehend permutations.

Thoughts?

this started as an idea about fighting sickness in a human body through an abstract fighting game and wondering how the hell any of those virtualization ideas work without literal magic or hellish tons of abstraction scripting, during a walk to homeroom. Halfbakedness may apply.
