There! Rather than teleporting one somewhere, that symbol will enact a bargain of sorts with reality, one that allows you to transport yourself wherever you wish the moment you envision it in your mind. At least in theory anyway. These are just notes after all.

It looks like it'll take a lot of mana control on the part of the caster to get right. Is that true enough? The evolved travel spell was only as convoluted as it was to allow teleportation to different universes.
