[QUOTE="MythandLore, post: 139149, member: 180"] Would this work? No. You are aware of the Gate spell, are you not? Yes. You are aware that Gate allows you to travel from Here to There, right? Yes. Some mages created a reasonable (and apparently useless) variant of the Gate spell that causes you to go from Here to ... Here. Okay. A Gate can be made permanent. No. There is no point in going further. A 'Gate' is an 'Instantaneous' spell, it cannot be effected by 'permanency' or duration extending 'meta-magic' feats. A 'Cubic Gate' item comes close to what you are trying to do but still can't. It has a 10% chance of something passing thru every round it is open, you couldn't leave it open for 3 days an average of 4,320 creatures would pass thru in that time. The amount of times the object could pass thru a 'Ring Gate' is very limited by weight per day, so would not really work ether. Even thee 'Portals' from the FRCS book (which act like perminent gates) would not work. It has many rules which could be interprted to work with the spell 'Gate' inculding unattended objects (like throwing a rock) can't go thru on there own. If you have the FRCS book I sugjest you look over the section on 'Portals' p59 and see what you think. I myself would never allow what you are proposing. Also if you take into account 'real science' :) after it gets too fast it will start to burn up do to friction of air etc. If you were to fire a one pound ball of steel from space regardless of the speed, it will burn up before it gets to the ground. Bottom line, don't waste anymore of your time on this sillyness. ;) [/QUOTE]
