Area 1 is,
all of Valeia ( because of the foot path around the town) and up to the east gate of Ishad N'Ha. (including the serpent temple.)
Area 2 is, from the west gate of Ishad N'ha to the east gate of Brimloch Roon.
Area 3 of course is west of the Brimloch gate.
Sometimes lower level characters have a harder time with these spells. (as you gain 'Will' stats, you get better)
Always watch the text box when you cast 'create', you should see 'Portal Created'. If you don't, walk away a few feet and try again. (you can also 'test' a portal the same way)
Outside/Inside is a little vague. If you walk down the stairs and into the entance of the crypt...You are still outside. Once you click on the lever and the dungeon loads...You are inside.
..
..The nice thing about that is...You can create a portal on both sides of the lever. Create poratal, outside...click on the lever (load the dugeon)..Create portal inside. Now you can teleport to the door from anywhere inside the dungeon, to the door. So if you need to go back to town, to train, or heal, or sell stuff..You can do what Loumistro suggested. Teleport to the door... load the outside...and cast 'Call of Home'...finish up in town...and teleport back.
Another nice wrinkle is that you can have a portal inside
each of the dungeons, and the portals remain active if you return later in the game.
.. Have fun and keep us posted..
