Any of you kids seen an old-school manually attuned portal like this?
It's so satisfying to piece the veil and stroll idly into strange and unfamiliar times and places the old fashioned way, not on anyone else's schedule, just living in, arbitrarily, any moment you could possibly choose.
Anyone else enjoy employing 'obsolete' arcana for fun from time to time because it's free, you're old and nostalgia is a necessary salve, and sometimes the magic is even arguably legal by sheer obsolescence and the resulting legislative oversight?
Try a dendrogyric portal aperture, seriously. It takes weeks to prepare, but it's like well-worn slippers compared to a portal I spend a spell slot on's rental ski-boot feel. Call me a decrepit hipster if you want, I'm nursing a sore hip from my last broom crash, ya damn kids.
