Up the Abyssal Walls

This spell is usable only within the Abyss. It acts as a specific teleport, transporting the caster and one other subject per every two levels of the caster to another layer of the Abyss. All characters to be transported, along with their equipment, must be within 10 feet of the caster. The destination layer must be one that the caster is familiar with, in name or at least in a mental picture. If the caster: has previously visited the target layer, a specific destination may he chosen if the caster has actually visited that location (not just seen it at a distance). Otherwise, the DM determines a random arrival point in the layer. This spell has no chance of arriving in a dangerous position (above or below the target).

The material component for the spell is a small object, token, or relic of the destination layer. This spell was developed originally by drow wizards serving the evil power Lolth in order to escape back to the safety of her layer after exploring and raiding the other layers of the Abyss. It has also come into popular use by endangered planewalkers, enabling them to beat a hasty retreat to the Plain of Infinite Portals and from there escape the Abyss altogether.
