Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stormonu" data-source="post: 9451100" data-attributes="member: 52734">Rather than ban it, just put some sensible limits on it.It's the same level as Dimension Door, and has an exaggerated casting time to make it work like upcasting to Teleportation Circle or Word of Recall.  It's obviously designed to be a "get back home with the loot" spell, and would use that to tweak it.My suggestions:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Decrease the open time.  An hour is plenty, 10 minutes seems more sane.  1 minute wouldn't really be out of order nor Instantaneous.  Upcasting might increase the duration.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Limit the size of the portal; a medium-sized doorway and maybe larger if upcast.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Require the key to be forged at the location where the portal opens to - this puts a big limit as the crafting rules are 50 gp/day, so you'd have to spend 2 days at the destination making the key.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">If the portal opens in an "owned" location, the owner is a) instantly aware of the intrusion, and b) can choose to refuse to allow it to work (preventing teleporting into the living dragon's den or king's court).</li> </ul></blockquote>
