[QUOTE="Sigurd, post: 3496656, member: 19412"] Seems like a setting element masquerading as a spell. I'd give it no level but have it be bought by an action or gift in the game world. Even a feat might be more appropriate. Presumably it wouldn't be only spellcasters who could open this portal. On the All Hallows eve when the fabric between the worlds is the thinnest. A character must take an item of high value 1000gld plus and offer it to __zot__. If __zot___ comes and gets the item you have established a relationship if not,,, the item bursts into flames - sorry. The character's keep the relationship so long as it suites __zot___. * Whoever zot is. You might be able to be introduced by another customer. Wizards might be able to travel to the plane of _zot_ (say Sygil) and demonstrate they are worth dealing with. A very rare spell might also work but not one found by novices. If its too easy a spell it would actually reduce the setting - I don't have to learn about your shopkeepers I have this spell. In some cases it might be a huge advantage. Perhaps this would allow you to buy a lot of water in the middle of a drought\fire storm. I think you'd have to make it very setting dependent. [/QUOTE]
