Planar Gate

The Planar Gate Ritual will cause a 10' x 10' gate to open between the Target Location and a random area on a Chosen Plane. The Gate Effect will allow passage in both directions, but confers no ability to survive a hostile environment in the Chosen Plane. This Ritual Effect will last for 10 minutes per point of Celestial Ritual Strength possessed by the Ritual Caster. The Caster must supply a physical rep for the Gate with a clearly defined portal.

Valid Planes Choices: Elemental Fire, Elemental Air, Elemental Water, Elemental Earth, Elemental Life, Elemental Death, Elemental Order, or Elemental Chaos. Additional Planes may be available at the discretion of the Local Plot Committee.

A character may not be on both sides of the gate. As soon as they break the plane of the gate, they will instantly shift across to the other side. As such, combat is impossible from one side of the gate to the other, and vision is limited and often completely impossible.

Any Spirit that travels through the gate and completes their death count on the other side will automatically shift back to their Plane of origin to resurrect; this may or may not be the Plane from which they entered the gate. This shift upon death occurs whether the gate is still open or not.

The Ritual allows the Caster to impose a single additional Planar Effect on the Planar Gate by expending the optional Catalyst in addition to the standard Reagent cost.

• Time Locked - the Planar Gate only functions from 6am to 6pm OR 6pm to 6am.
• Planar Asylum - the Caster may Target 1 individual per 10 points of Ritual Strength they possess to receive a Planar Asylum for the Targeted Plane of the Planar Gate. The Target(s) must be in the Circle of Power. The Planar Asylum will last until the Planar Gate Ritual ends by any means or until Destroyed as the Planar Asylum Ritual on the Target character. This is a Celestial Effect.
• Directional - the Planar Gate will only allow travel in one direction (From the Plane or To the Plane) chosen by the Caster at the time of casting.
• Keyed Gate - the Caster must supply a physical representation of a Target mundane key which attunes to the Gate. The mundane key cannot be made into a magical item while it is attuned to the gate. The key can still be broken or shattered. Only characters holding the key are able to pass through the Gate in either direction. Once opened via a key, the Gate remains open for 5 seconds allowing the key holder to bring additional companions along during that time. The Gate will only unlock if the key holder breaks the plane of the gate - i.e. the holder of the key must physically pass through the Gate to open it. The Gate cannot be prematurely shut.
• Dispellable - the Caster may, at any time from either side, touch the Gate rep and state "I close this Gate" at which time the Planar Gate Ritual immediately ends. Once ended, the Caster cannot re-open the same Planar Gate - a new Ritual must be performed.

This Ritual requires 5 Reagents to cast as listed on the scroll.
