In my recent adventures I ran, I noticed that - for storytelling purposes - I want some NPCs to be able to open a gate to another place, so that my players can get a glimpse of that place.
Now, the original gate spell does a lot of things that I don't need - the summoning or interplanar stuff. I just want to open a gateway between two places on the material plane. Also I don't want to push a lot of NPCs to level 17 just for that narrative purpose.
Is there a spell that does this, that I missed? And if not, how would you rate a spell that opens a portal between two places on the same plane for a short amount of time (say 1 round per level)? My first guess would be for that spell to be lvl 7.
Thanks for any advice!
