I have a question: how does distance matter when casting a spell? I don't want to cast a love spell or anything like that, I'm just interested if casting a spell that is supposed to do anything far away is much harder to do. Do you have any experience with this?

I've done spells on people around the world, with their permission. I think it's all in how you think about it. Energy is everywhere, just need to direct it to where you want it to go.
Magick is energy itself. Learning to detect these energies and compare these to natural objects on the real world, or combine these energies with emotions or information received, you can detect the beings that share these energies and you can modify and change these energies to such likings.
Energy is all around you. Casting a spell, into the ocean of energy around us, it will float to these directed energies.
If we take another example of distance into consideration. Distance is a concept which effects the physical world, as to get from one place to another physically one has to move.
What matters in spell work is where your thoughts, your conscious awareness is attending to. For example you may be st in a room but your conscious awareness, your focus can be at any part of that room, or indeed any area of the house. And once you can do projection, your consciousness can fully be in any room of the house.
Your awareness can be focused on any place in the world, and your body need not be there. I personally don't believe magic works on the physical plane, at all. It works on the astral and this causes manifestation on the physical plane. Whether you term the astral as the realm of imagination/sunconsciousness/collective unconsciousness/or an actual tangible concept is up for debate and I personally don't fully subscribe to any one.
Either way, short answer, I do not believe it matter one bit.
Thank you for all your answers. I was just interested because in real life some places are so far away so I was asking myself if this is a problem in spellcasting. But it's good to know that it isn't.
