Ether Gate

The Shaman attempts to transport the target through the Ether Gate into the Ethereal Plane.
==Description==
==Gameplay==
This spell works like the arcane spell Maze, except for a few key differences:
-There's a fixed duration of 5 rounds, instead of a duration based on the enemy's intelligence score (meaning it might have a shorter or longer duration than Maze, depending on said score).
-The targeted creature is instantaneously cast through the Ether Gate after the spell is cast, as opposed to what happens with Maze, where there's a relatively long animation that needs to finish before the enemy is actually sent away.
-It's a Power level 7 spell, meaning that, unlike Maze, it won't work against Rakshasa.
-It's a spell from the Alteration school, as opposed to Conjuration.
Another noteworthy difference is the fact that Shamans will acquire this spell earlier (at 1.5 million XP) than a Sorcerer can acquire Maze (2.25 million XP) and probably much earlier than a Mage, who not only needs the same amount of XP as the Sorcerer, but also needs to find a scroll (with the one in Spellhold being the earliest available).
Moreover, a Sorcerer must choose between Maze and other (probably better) spells of level 8, whereas Ether Gate will always be available to any Shaman after reaching level 14.
