Range: 0 (touch) · Area of Effect: 1 surface · Duration: 1 Round per Level · Save: No This Spell creates a shimmering (2-meter high and 1-meter wide) portal on target solid surface that's 1 meter thick or less. The portal doesn't damage the surface integrity in any way, but creatures and objects can cross it (emerging on the other side of the surface) as if it were a normal door. The portal disappears as soon as the Spell ends.

9th • Mystical Step

Range: 0 (self) · Area of Effect: 30 m · Duration: - · Save: No The caster vanishes, immediately reappearing in any space of their choosing within the Area of Effect. The caster doesn't need to see or know the point of arrival, but they must pass a Very Hard (-30) Perception Roll on the next Assessment Phase or be Stunned if they choose a destination they cannot see. If the chosen space is occupied by another creature or object, the caster will reappear Stunned at their starting point, instead.

10th • Journey Through the Dark

Range: 0 (self) · Area of Effect: 10 m radius · Duration: Special · Save: No The caster transports themselves and up to 1 willing companion per Level within the Area of Effect to the Dark, a mystical region beyond the mortal world. By travelling through the Dark, the caster and their companions will be transported to any place in the mortal world within 10 km per caster's Level from their starting point. Travel will appear to be instantaneous to those witnessing it from the mortal world; the characters will seem to simply disappear from one place to reappear in another. However, the flow of time in the Dark is different from that of the mortal world, and the characters journeying through it will often feel as if they travelled for hours, or even days.

Dark Travel Modifiers [5.1]

Moreover, the Dark itself isn't devoid of dangers, and travellers may well lose their way and find themselves stranded, or worse. Each time the caster uses this spell, they must make an Open-Ended Roll on the Dark Travel Events Table, adding the Dark Travel Modifiers.
