	Most of the failures with this spell are limited to a backlash of energy from the circle. There are varying types of these. The most basic is a simple failure. It causes a backlash of energy which inflicts minor to moderate damage and a wound on the caster. These can do crush, slash, or vacuum damage. There is also a chance, albeit slim, that upon failing a cast, a [[lesser demon]] will find its way into our world and be released. This demon can and will go on a killing rampage. If this occurs in town, the caster will be charged with [[Demonic summoning]]. The possibility for this to occur is highest with circle-less travel and inter-realm travel.

⚫	Planar ~~Shifting~~ is a sorcerous teleportation spell, allowing for instantaneous travel between two locations. By manipulating the fabric of space, the sorcerer opens a dimensional rift through which he or she can travel to any location in the world of Elanthia, with the exception of teleport restricted rooms (most of [[The Rift]], [[Major Sanctuary (220)\|Sanctuary]], etc). Interrealm travel is travel between various in game realms, and intrarealm is within a realm.

	There are six character based factors stated as contributing to success: [[Sorcerer Base\|Sorcerer Spell Ranks]], [[Discipline]], [[Aura]], [[Wisdom]], and ranks in [[Spiritual Mana Control]],[[Elemental Mana Control]], and [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology]]. It has been specifically noted that encumbrance plays no role in the spell's success. The maximum success rate is 99%.		There are six character based factors stated as contributing to success: [[Sorcerer Base\|Sorcerer Spell Ranks]], [[Discipline]], [[Aura]], [[Wisdom]], and ranks in [[Spiritual Mana Control]], [[Elemental Mana Control]], and [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology]]. It has been specifically noted that encumbrance plays no role in the spell's success. The maximum success rate is 99%.

	A number of things about this equation are known. First off, [[Sorcerer Base\|Sorcerer Spell Ranks]] are to be considered significantly more important in it than the Spiritual/Elemental Control ranks. Secondly, the success equation is identical to that of the Wizard's [[Familiar Gate (930)]] equation, with two differences. In the place of level, which contributes to the Wizard's Gate, there are Control Ranks. And on top of that, [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology\|Demonology]] ranks provide a very large bonus to success. This is significant enough that a Sorcerer without any Demonology might find their success to be 99% at or around level 60, while one who is 1x in Demonology will find that they have or are close to a 99% success rate upon learning the spell (assuming the other skills and stats are trained adequately).

	Interrealm chalk includes a stubby translucent chalk and a [[piece of crystalline chalk]]. The interrealm chalks run 50,000 silvers for a single piece, subject to merchant discounts or price boosts based on standard store mechanics. The chalk is so high quality that it significantly reduces the risk of failure. These chalks are an absolute must for the interrealm portion of the spell, there is no way around it.

The chalk is so high quality that it significantly reduces the risk of failure. These chalks are an absolute must for the interrealm portion of the spell, there is no way around it.

	The intrarealm chalks are cheaper. They look like a long translucent chalk or a [[rough stick of white chalk]]. These chalks are sold with 200 scribings, equating to 100 uses of the spell. The chalks are used to travel about within the realm, but they are far less well made; without the protective benefits of the interrealm version, success is far less likely.

			Should a Sorcerer wish to travel without the use of a summoning circle, he or she may INCANT 740, which will transport them to wherever they most recently shifted from, in the manner of a [[gold ring]]. Only those who have 40 ranks of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology]] may do so, and the failure rate is twice as high (and requires twice the additional training to mitigate).

	=== Interrealm Success ===

	~~Interrealm success rates~~ are ~~quite~~ ~~simple.~~ ~~The~~ ~~spell~~ ~~starts~~ ~~with~~ a ~~base rate of 90%~~ success. ~~The~~ ~~only~~ ~~way~~ to ~~increase~~ ~~the~~ ~~chance~~ to ~~succeed~~ ~~even~~ ~~further~~ is by ~~training~~ in [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology]]. ~~Every~~ 12 ~~ranks~~ of ~~Demonology~~ ~~lore~~ ~~increase~~ ~~the~~ ~~success~~ ~~rate~~ by ~~1%,~~ ~~maxing~~ ~~out~~ at ~~100%~~ ~~with~~ ~~120~~ ~~ranks~~.

It has been specifically noted that encumbrance plays no role in the spell's success. The maximum success rate is 99%.

	=== Intrarealm Success ===

	Intrarealm success rates are much more complicated, as well as more failure prone. There are five character based factors stated as contributing to success: [[Sorcerer Base\|Sorcerer Spell Ranks]], [[Discipline]], [[Aura]], [[Wisdom]], and ranks in [[Spiritual Mana Control]] and [[Elemental Mana Control]]. It has been specifically noted that encumbrance plays no role in the spell's success.

⚫	A number of things about this equation are known. First off, [[Sorcerer Base\|Sorcerer Spell Ranks]] are to be considered significantly more important in it than the Spiritual/Elemental Control ranks. Secondly, the success equation is identical to that of the Wizard's [[Familiar Gate (930)]] equation, with ~~one~~ ~~difference~~. In the place of level, which contributes to the Wizard's Gate, there are Control Ranks. ~~Similarly~~ to ~~Familar~~ ~~Gate~~, ~~the~~ ~~highest~~ ~~possible~~ ~~intrarealm~~ success ~~rate~~ ~~achievable~~ is 95%.

	The way in which the control ranks factor in is complex. Basically, it's on a ranks per level scale, the standard being 1x'd in both controls. What this will do is put the same thing into the equation as level would be applied in the Wizard's Familiar Gate. So, for example, say a level 50 Wizard casts Familiar Gate. Just making up numbers, but lets say it added 50 to the equation. Well, a Sorcerer casting 740 who was level 50 and 1x'd in both controls would also have 50 added to the equation. So through the controls, level can contribute. The interesting thing is, this means the Sorcerer can further train for success. By training more in the controls, the Sorcerer can increase this factor for the spell. Certain combinations of ranks seem to be more important. For example, someone 2x'd in one control, with 0x in the other WILL have a higher benefit than someone 1x'd in both. But, aside from that particular type of training, more is basically always better.		The way in which the control ranks factor in is complex.

But, aside from that particular type of training, more is basically always better.

			The failure rate for using the spell without a circle has been stated to be twice as high. The maximum success rate for travel without a circle is 98%, but it is much more difficult to reach. A sorcerer of average training who is 1x in Demonology may find that they hit 98% success at or around level 75, though variation is to be expected. There are no current estimates on the success rate of those who have the minimum 40 ranks required for circle-less travel.

	=== Failures ===		=== Failures ===

	Most of the failures with this spell are limited to a backlash of energy from the circle. There are varying types of these. The most basic is a simple ~~intrarealm~~ failure. It causes a backlash of energy which inflicts minor to moderate damage and a wound on the caster. These can do crush, slash, or vacuum damage. In addition, a similar failure is possible with interrealm transport. This can occur on its own, or can also occur if intrarealm chalks are used for interrealm travel. This backlash is much more dangerous, easily capable of killing the caster. There is also a chance, albeit slim, that upon failing ~~an interrealm~~ cast, a [[lesser demon]] will find its way into our world and be released. This demon can and will go on a killing rampage. If this occurs in town, the caster will be charged with [[Demonic summoning]].		Most of the failures with this spell are limited to a backlash of energy from the circle.

	For those who do have Demonology lore, the process is simple. When the transport rift is created, those who are joined to the caster may simply GO RIFT and use it as the caster would. There are two important things that must be done to accomplish this. First off, the group MUST be joined to the caster. Any who attempt to enter the rift who are not joined to the caster will suffer a wound and damage. Secondly, these people must enter the rift BEFORE the caster. If the caster enters first, it will close the rift. If the caster has no demonology lore, the others will be unable to enter. Similarly, if the caster's limit is reached, additional group members will ~~recieve~~ messaging that the rift would become too chaotic, and will not pass. The original caster will still be able to enter after this though. It is also possible to drag passengers through the rift, allowing for rescuing dead bodies or incapacitated companions.
