Teleportation 5 Recall 18 You attempt to bring allied and consenting people, vehicles and equipment within your max range, to your location, safely. The area of effect is a 10m radius circle.

Potentially catastrophic loss.
Teleportation 5 Summon 18 You attempt to teleport a single person or entity within your core range, into your presence with or without their consent. You must know them and their current location in detail. The entity is not guaranteed to be pleased, but will be safe on a success (assuming your current location is a safe environment for them).

Teleportation 5 Quantum Incision 18 30-minute ritual, concentrate. You attempt to open a new rift into another dimension (i.e. borderworld, hyperspace, plane of shadows, mirror universe, inferno, etc) in an unoccupied space within 10m. Even on a perfect success, this is not guaranteed to be safe. The rift you create is unstable and will close within 5 minutes. Less danger. There is no limit to the horrific disasters this can cause, even if it works as intended.

You attempt to teleport an item that is smaller than 1m^3, such as a small bomb or robot, to a core-valid location within your maximum range, without your accompaniment. Casting this spell requires a blind roll (Roll so that the GM can see but you cannot). You can include multiple or larger items, longer distances. All kinds of problems can occur.
Teleportation 6 Stargate 20 With a 6-hour ritual, you transform a metal-hyperion-alloy frame into a permanently active stargate (until dispelled or destroyed). This is an permanent, noisy, brightly glowing portal that can transport terrestrial beings and vehicles up to 50 light years away or to other dimensions, near-instantly, making use of a hyper-compressed liminal dimension. A good engineer friend is important here for good results. The otherside of the gate is a magically duplicated linked-mirror copy of the original. The portal will remain active until dispelled or destroyed. Maximum portal radius is 15m, enough for elephants and/or battlemechs to pass through. This is a legendary spell that enables the rapid spread of powerful empires. Bigger sized gates and faster casting. There is no limit to the apocalyptic disaster that a malfunctioning stargate can cause. Demonic invasion and causality fractures are only the beginning. However, you may not notice your failure at first.
