Magic Portals serve to bridge dimensions and universes by merging laws of nature with physical laws. They can penetrate walls and solid surfaces to cause warping in their immediate area and ripple effects throughout thousands of people simultaneously. Some even link with other universes so creatures from another dimension may enter yours!
Portals create instantaneous travel between locations on an already player-occupied map. When creating the portal, its creator designates its destination when the portal is created and cannot change this choice later. Portals may either require keying to activate them or have random activation patterns set at creation time; either option could work effectively.
Cost estimates for one continuously active one-way portals range between 50,000 gp in raw materials and 120 days of work for wizards with level 10 Craft, respectively. Once constructed, upgrades to these portals may cost twice their market price in raw materials; two-way portals cost an extra 10,000 gp with 8 days work required and 6,000 experience points awarded as the reward; or portals may even be enhanced with special properties which increase their base cost by 50%.
If a player decides to create a large portal, they can include a small teleportation circle within its radius for cantrips or weapons to pass through easily; larger circles allow spells or objects of any kind. Furthermore, at 10th level a wizard can make small and medium portals appear virtually invisible making them extremely hard for ranged attacks to hit.
There is an array of symbols used to construct and symbolize portals. Some of the more popular examples include Ouroboros, Brighid cross in circle, Raelian star, Infinity Triangle and Tao or Sun wheels – however portals may also take any arbitrary shape without needing any specific symbolization at all.
Undermountain’s mad archmage created unique portals in his dreadful dungeon, such as drifting portals that can only be controlled through active concentration on them (requiring standard actions to do this). Once concentration has lapsed, however, their random drift resumes and until concentration on them resumes again – or until concentration on it again occurs!
There are various ways the portal mechanics can benefit your game, but be wary when selecting Magik cards to include with them. If all the Magik cards you include with it do damage only then this would be a waste of the portal’s potential power; using Kick or other Magik cards that generate Heroism are much more effective in helping KO enemies through portals while at the same time providing your hand with cards to deal additional damage through other attacks like crowding enemies up while doing AOE damage can make this strategy even more powerful! It works when combined with other tactics like crowding enemies up while dealing damage through AOE attacks!
