Whirlpool (Sazae Oni's Evoke) erroneously moves people AWAY from you, and can even pull people out of the AoE of the whirlpool itself under certain conditions.

If any tile near the targeted enemy is empty, they will move in that direction. So for example, if they are surrounded on 8 sides, but the top left tile is empty, they will move up and left. This is regardless of the location of the whirlpool user, often causing a whirlpool to in fact send the target AWAY from the user.

Steps to reproduce:
1: get into a battle while having access to whirlpool.
2: have an enemy near enough to target with Whirlpool.
3: Make sure the tiles between you and the target are filled.
4: Use whirlpool.
5: Watch as it makes them go sideways, away, diagonally away, or whatever way isn't currently blocked off.

This isn't really a bug, just how the pull effect works. It doesn't take into account if you will actually be closer or further after the pull, just what path it has to use to get closer to you.
