What's stopping you?

@Fractured

*Raises an eyebrow*

I just said it only went one way. There's no way for me to use the gate to get back again.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

And you can't go through again?

@Fractured

*Shakes head*

No. It only went one way.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

How'd you get here, anyway?

@Fractured

Hm? Oh, you could call it a gate of sorts.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

*Follows through with Lily tagging behind me*

@Fractured

*Follows along, the door swinging shut in my wake. Stretching, I reassume the height I was at when first arriving in the tavern, becoming a little over 7 feet tall*

If anyone wants a long CYOA to waste your time on, I got this most recent update to MythicLegendary's Power Creator series here.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

As long as nobody's trying to give me another concussion along the way, I'm all for it.

@Fractured

Very well then! It's settled!

*Heads towards the door, pushing it open before stepping to the side and motioning for you both to step through*

*Smiles*
I know what you mean. I’d love to find out eventually though.

@Nimda

Well stick around long enough and you just might. Namely because I've yet to create the actual thing.

*Dispels the symbol with a wave of my hand*

Now, shall we be going to... well wherever it is we're going to?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

*Laughs*
It always feels like lost magics can get just about anything done—some of them had really ugly costs though. Do you carry any of them?

@Nimda

*Thinks for a moment*

Well beyond the dangers of someone finding out one's true name, if we are speaking solely of naming magics of course, no there aren't many. At worst the symbol could merely be controlled by a malicious force and used to redirect or possibly even injure those who use it.

*Smiles*

Of course this is why I'm not sharing any names I may or may not be thinking up for it just yet.

*Motions to the rest of the tavern*

Too many ears around, you see.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Would you like something while you stay, Mr. Mazius?

@Ignacious

No thank you, and just Mazius is fine. Formality is something I've... largely left behind.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

*Nods*
I understand. I usually have to go out of my way to design spells with... constrained casting requirements. And limited mana drain.

@Nimda

That is true I suppose.

*Steps back toward the symbol, peering down at it curiously*

Hmm. There might be a way for me to make this work at zero cost, although it would require the use of very ancient magics indeed. Specifically naming magics. The symbol would need a Protonymic bound to it, that way a caster can simply use it by intent and speech alone.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Hmmm...
*Looks more closely*
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.

@Nimda

True. Although I was looking at it from my perspective. We gods do not run out of energy, even if we can get tired, battered and bruised, so the cost never occurred to me.
