\enhancement{1}{Gated}{Open a portal instead of teleporting}
The mage can not simply teleport something but open a doorway from one place to another, within the normal range.
-The magical portal can change direction, pour water from the sea to a rock, or form falling loops as one portal falls into another.
+The magical portals always maintain the same direction, so one which opens facing upwards will always match another which opens facing upwards.
+
If placed on a surface, it opens seamlessly, as if it were a normal opening.
People can wander into another land entirely and never know it.
The portals are always seamless -- the edges contain no flickering or wobbles.
Portals must always rest upon unchanging surfaces; any movement destroys the circle instantly.

-Particularly crazy casters have used such spells to open portals to strange etherial lands, filling the area with all manner of dangerous and bizarre creatures.
