Gateway Gateway was an arcane alteration spell that opened a two - way portal to a location the caster had previously visited . Effects . This spell only worked on the Prime Material Plane of the caster , and only provided passage to locations at which he or she had been physically present at some previous time . The " gateway " lasted for a minimum of sixteen minutes ; longer for more experienced casters . The portal appeared as an upright disk 10 ft ( 3 m ) in diameter within 10 yd ( 9 . 1 m ) of the caster . It could not occupy the same space as another object but could be placed against any vertical flat surface . If cast as a free - standing disk , the back side of the portal appeared as a disk of featureless gray . When successfully cast , the " gateway " bridged the two locations like a window , allowing creatures on both sides to look through the portal and see the other side , but keeping the environments separate . For example , if one terminus of the portal was under water and the other on dry land , no water poured out one side , and no air bubbled out of the other . While in operation , living creatures could pass freely back and forth along with whatever they wore or carried . Nonliving matter ( or creatures ) could not pass through unless carried by a living creature . Distance was a factor in determining the success or failure to cast this spell . " Gateway " always succeeded when the chosen location was within about 100 mi ( 160 km ) , but as the distance increased to 500 mi ( 800 km ) the spell failed about half the time . There was only a one in ten chance of reaching another planet in the same solar system , and even less chance of reaching another solar system . This spell could not form a bridge to any other plane of existence . If the casting failed to reach the chosen destination , then further attempts to the same destination would also fail , indicating that conditions were not conducive for " gateway " to operate at that location . " Gateway " could be terminated prematurely by the caster at will , or by a successful " dispel magic " cast on it . When the portal collapsed , anything that was not agile enough to avoid it as it shrank out of existence was severed at the surface of the portal , possibly resulting in lost limbs or instant death . Components . In addition to verbal and somatic components , this spell required a handful of earth from nearby the caster . History . This spell was found in a book that was known as " Elminster ' s traveling spellbook " although the Old Sage was not known to have claimed responsibility for the book or its peculiar habits . " Gateway " was later published in " Volo ' s Guide to All Things Magical " and became generally known to the magical community and was fairly common .
