A while back, a house from our world arrived. We admittedly haven't done much with it ~~because it isn't ho~~, because in order to get inside you have to have flight capability, some sort of teleporting ability, or the desire to walk up 10000 stairs. Elain and I lack all of these, and I don't want to feel dependant on ~~anyone~~ Cassian's wings.

Is anyone able and willing to install some sort of teleportation device or magical lift that goes from the bottom of the tower to the top? There's a waypoint outside of the house, but it's only so helpful with its location on the ground. Preferably I'd like something that will last if you happen to get sent home.

I'm willing to pay for your time and labor, ~~than~~ ~~ugh~~ thank you.

	Do you want it to be something anyone can use that shows up at the house? Or that only you and your sister can access and allow others to access on a case by case basis? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The house itself is already warded against entry for anyone that isn't granted access by us, so public use to the top training roof would be fine, I think. Password or code protected would also be fine? We may use it to host others in the future. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How about spelling a rock that when you touch it will bring you to the top or two the bottom? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Could it be any item, not just a rock? Because the concept is what I'm looking for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A magical lift. Please tell me we can make that a project for the benefit of our Suzerain of Serials. It would make my Monday and the sparkle in my eye that much brighter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A magical lift. I'm visualizing glass, magicked to be disguised from the outside. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tevene 2021-02-22 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	I'd have to check the undercroft, but we probably have some more serault-infused glass at Skyhold. It repels fire and lightning attacks quite well. A glass lift is so darling though, and invisible from the outside? Even better. That way no one can show up and surprise Nesta with small talk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You've told me how long it takes to set up one of your circles before, what else can you do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	runechild 2021-02-22 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	Oh darling, you know by now the answer is anything I set my mind to. And I wouldn't recommend my teleportation circle anyway, you'd need to be able to cast the spell and although you're exceptional in all ways, I'd hate to have it mix magics and go...wonky. We'll come up with a few ideas, never you worry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hope this won't cut my involvement completely. I'll always give you a lift. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	nesta 2021-02-22 05:12 pm UTC (link)
	At least by 50%. I thought about asking for someone to give me wings but that would give you too much pleasure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	illyrian 2021-02-22 05:24 pm UTC (link)
	Me? Yes. But I would have you without wings, too. Their enjoyment would be lost on someone who wouldn't use them to fly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do let me know if I can be of assistance; gatestones and building magic is rather a fun side-interest of mine. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	nesta 2021-02-22 05:15 pm UTC (link)
	Gatestones? Your own version of waypoints? Are they instant travel? Details? I realize asking you for details is likely a mistake, yet here we are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A mistake? A gift.

Gatestones are basically heavy, enchanted rocks. Touching it will assess your viability to travel somewhere (typically associated with a magical permission-based system). If you're not able to travel, the gatestone will give you a mild shock and that is that. If you are on the list, a temporary portal will open, allowing you to walk through and instantly arrive at the corresponding waypoint. (And, I should add, if an unauthorized party attempts to use the portal, they'll be tossed back out. Or instantaneously evaporated. Depends on which you prefer.)
