Portal Creation is the magical ability to create portals to other locations, worlds or planes.
Description[]
The user of this ability can create or open a doorway that leads one to another place. Portals come in a great variety, as their function and appearance depend on the user. Witches can accomplish this through spells, but it is more of a power associated with upper-level beings, such as powerful demons or angels. Some portals can be used for time traveling. Another can be used to forcefully send someone in with powerful gusts of wind. These portals are known as vortexes.
On another note, portals usually do not stay open for too long. The length of their opening varies depending on their purpose and power. Usually, they close once someone has passed through them, but they may also remain open for longer than that.
