Hellsgate

A Hellsgate is a magical portal into the Underworld created using Blood Magic and the bones of the recently

deceased. It is a highly dangerous and illegal spell to cast.

Features
The Hellsgate is characterised by a large, glowing-red collum of pure rage energy. The first Hellsgate appeared before Mankind could even harness magic, it was completely by accident however. In recent years, and starting in 1665 with the outbreak of the Blood Wars, many Dark Sorcerers have attempted to open Hellsgates and allow Demons through into the Overworld, although each attempt has been thwarted sucessfully.

With great concentration the caster may determine which layer of the Underworld the Hellsgate will drop you in, however it is far more likely you will just be dropped in at random.

Trivia

 * The sound effect used when the Hellsgate is open is a mixture of an Earthquake and Space Shuttle launching.
 * The Hellsgate first appeared in Fire Dwells Within.
