  • Failure The portal creates a temporary one-way link with a random location, immediately delivering a hostile creature as though via summon monster VII. At the GM’s discretion, the creature may be accompanied by 1d3 creatures of the same kind from the 6th-level summon monster list, or 1d4+1 creatures of the same type from a lower-level list.

By repairing damaged magical runes and realigning the energies based on the gate’s planetary position, the caster reactivates a dormant hub gate. A reactivated gate automatically reconnects with all its affiliated gates, acting as two-way gates (as per the spell) between the locations. The caster knows the gate’s password—which might be anything from an Elven phrase to a song’s refrain to a spell—from the research required to learn this ritual. All other creatures who use this gate must also know the password to access the gate’s magic after it has been reactivated.
