Axiom Level: 14
Skill: Apportation 14
Casting Time: 1 action
DN: Hard (DN 14)
Range: 50 meters
Duration: Instant

With a brisk incantation and a broad gesture the mage opens two connected portals. One appears right next to the caster, and the other anywhere within 50 meters. Whatever enters one portal emerges from the other in the same instant. The portals only exist for a few seconds before disappearing.
Portal has applications for both movement and combat. The caster may simply add 50 meters to his movement when using the spell. If used in a chase it allows the mage to gain steps using the apportation skill rather than Dexterity. A failure to achieve the spell's DN counts as a failure for backlash, regardless of the DN to gain a step.

In combat, the caster may use a Multi-Action to reach through and attack a foe adjacent to the other portal. The connection goes both ways: a grappled enemy may be pulled back through to the caster's side or a waiting opponent may strike through the portal back at the caster on the other side. The portal closes once the current side finishes their actions.

Success Levels:

• Good: Thanks to excellent timing adjacent allies may also move through the portal or attack adjacent foes. Waiting enemies can't attack through the portal.
• Outstanding: The portal appears in exactly the right spot. Attacks against a target adjacent to the other end gain a +4 bonus for catching the foe Flat-Footed.
