A Title Much Cooler Than Anything on the Old Site
Could a wizard cast contingency with teleportation circle so that when the wizard it reduced to zero hit points he is teleported to the designated permanent teleportation circle? Since you pre-cast the contingent spell, the effect should be instant (i.e., the 1-minute casting time was already spent).
One reason I can see for limiting this use is that the temporary teleportation circle has to be inscribed on the ground, linking it to the permanent teleportation circle. That pre-inscribed temporary teleportation circle would not move to a new location because of contingency. However, this could still be useful for a party who plans an ambush or is expecting danger to come to them. It can be a clever escape option that doesn't give early access to full teleportation.
