Much depends on the cosmology designed by the DM.And my opinion is that it is a temporary demiplane (according to the Planes section description of a demiplane), and the specific phrase (which fully reads "Since the place can be entered only through its special portal, outside conditions do not affect the mansion, nor do conditions inside it pass to the plane beyond") is intended to prevent spell effects, such as Fireball, from spilling into the Mansion through the portal.IMHO, all this does not prevent spells that cross Planes from functioning within or into the Mansion, if the location of the demiplane is known (such as Scrying or Plane Shift). And I base my opinion on the description of Genesis, which like many 9th level spells is the most powerful of the "series" (like Alter Self -> Polymorph etc. -> Shapechange), and which describes in more detail the fact that there is a portal and that it is a true permanent demiplane.In the demiplane description, "limited access" is mentionned but not explained anywhere. I personally would allow travel by other means than the Mansion's portal (since that is clearly defined as being limited access), but a DM could rule that it is a special demiplane and that only Divine creatures may use planar travel to reach it.My 0.02 cp.Andargor</blockquote>
