Underhill Ritual

E/F/M:

The faerie Ring Casting Ritual (q.v.) require, two Action Turns to complete. It creates a Door of interdimensional sort leading to and from the subterranean portion of the world Sphere of Phæree. The Area is four feet wide and eight-feet high. but it is located in a very special place indeed This Ritual will work only at night when the sky is mostly clouded. Some great boulder, mound, hillock or hill must be selected as the basis for the Casting. The dweomer must. be so laid as to be on the side/slope of the natural eminence. and entrance to the actual Door is gained through an invisible passage through the side/slope to where the Portal is set in the heart of the prominence. An entrance of this sort, as well as the Portal, is virtually invisible per se, although the presence of the entrance is detectable by one able to note invisible things, and one with exceptional visual ability might note a faint distortion in the place where a Gate exists. Heka-sighting ability will note such a thing with ease. The Underhill Effect leads to and from a similar setting in the Borderer territories of Subterranean Phæree, and will occur randomly or at some location which the caster envisions when the Formula is activated. The caster and all permitted to accompany that persona, along with all they wear and carry, are transported in one Critical Turn to their destination in Subterranean Phæree, wherever that may be. They will arrive at a random location, or within one chain of the envisioned one, as appropriate. They are permitted to remain on Phæree as long as they desire (or must), but the Time duration runs as not., and at Its expiration the Door vanishes. the dweomer being negated. In any event, any other party on Erth can and may utilize the Portal as possible considering invisible entrance and hidden location. Similarly. those of Hobgoblin finding or blundering into it can use it to leave Phæree and arrive on Erth during the active period of Casting Effect. The Door is invisible but not otherwise concealed at its exit point. There is no theoretical limit to the number of Hobgoblin sorts which can be transported via such a Portal while the Effect is active. Note that steps to locate and "hide" or protect a Portal on Phæree can be taken according to the ability of those concerned. This is difficult, however. considering the Powers of many inhabiting the world.... Also note that the Time duration of this Casting can be lengthened through adding heka on a one-for-one basis, Heka point for hour Time duration extension.
