If a party adept bought a service of a force 10 spirit so that any time he wanted, it would use its ginormous movement power on him to multiply his speed by 10, would he get any bonuses to Dodge?

At close range, you'd have no real chance to hit him, true. At medium->extreme, you'd have distance to compensate.

Now a flip to this is that the human brain doesn't expect you to be moving at 190mph, so trying to compensate for your own shots against other people, or to make turns, or to avoid that car you're about to run in to all are going to require tests because your brain and body don't work together well at those speeds.

And then there's the wind resistance...
