*A red static flashes across my eyes*
Explanation: The spell remains locked in the activation phase, so just enough magic remains to maintain the remote cast. By the time the magic travels around the length of one inner circle, it has faded at the beginning and must be reigniteed by the remote cast.
*Taps my temple and the static effect fades*
In other words, the spell spins in circles trying to fully activate. And whenever we want to cast a spell at the beacon, we just have to shove it through the remote casting channel, which briefly overwrites the beacon's magic with the spell we wanna cast. And if we want to gate, we just have to give it enough magic to complete the spell.

Interesting.
*looks at it while crouching*
What if the dungeon hinders your magic that connects you to this circle?

<Snipped quote by Path>

*The structure of the spell seems to lean heavily on the gate spell itself, with most modifications addressing exceptions and unusual circumstances*
If we're lucky or if we're unlucky?

<Snipped quote by Sp00ki>

What do you mean?

<Snipped quote by Source>

*waves my hand over it, reading into the spell further*
Both.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

You ever been flashbanged by bad memories that you didn't know you had?
*Oddly specific*

<Snipped quote by Sp00ki>

Huh? No? What does that mean?

<Snipped quote by Path>

*Large portions of the structure optimize for magic efficiency and reducing the amount of magic required to sustain the spell, and others address reinitializing the channel if briefly obstructed or severed, and more manage safety features, stabilizing the spell*
The worst case scenario, we might learn something about the behavior of the dungeon, and the circle may come in handy later. The best case scenario, we get to unravel the entire magic protection of the dungeon.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Why do I always expect people to relate to that...
*I mumble to myself*
It's basically like... remembering something that you don't want to remember but ten times worse... make that fifteen.

*a red flash circles my pupil and I get up*
Well! In any case! We must continue in!
Let us go!
*rushes in the door as pans and pots clang from my backpack*

<Snipped quote by Path>

*Follows behind you with a skill activated that enhances my sight and danger inutition*

<Snipped quote by Source>

*When we step in we are at the top of a staircase that reaches into darkness and I stare into it*

<Snipped quote by Path>

*Flies in ahead*
I'll scope things out!

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*stares a moment long then goes down the stairs*
Okay!

<Snipped quote by Path>

*Explores what lies at the bottom of the staircase, while Gio walks with you*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Someone else entered the dungeon.

<Snipped quote by Path>

Someone besides us? That's the most suspicious thing I've ever heard.

<Snipped quote by Source>

Their signature isn’t strong, but I can sense them.
*looks at the darkness*
Its on and off, like they are conserving their magic.

<Snipped quote by Path>

Was somebody following us?

<Snipped quote by Source>

No, they seem to be here for the same reason as us. The conservation doesn’t appear to be hiding, more of saving for threats.
*looks around at the wall inscriptions*
And they are moving away from us.
