Close Gate (Reversible)

This spell is a more powerful version of major gate ward. It has an even longer duration, and like the lesser spell can affect any gate or portal. As with major gate ward, the caster must decide whether closing a certain portal is worth offending whatever creature or power who watches over it — especially since the wizard's face or sigil is clearly displayed within the closed gate.

Additionally, this spell immediately shuts down a mortal-created gate (such as one called into being by the gate spell).

The material component of the spell is a bar of silver (worth at least 50 gp) engraved with the wizard's seal and bent into a circle.

Open Gate

The reverse of this spell, open gate, automatically dispels a close gate cast by any wizard.

The material component for this spell is a silver spike (worth at least 50 gp).
