There certainly is. There are a number of built-in teleporters about Dominus (hint: Here's a few places to start looking; Mt. Gigas Upper Caves, Lower Marten's Bluff and Upper Rapax Castle).

Also, all your magic users will be able to learn the Set / Return Portal spells. The Set Portal spell creates an invisible "return point", which when that same spellcaster casts the Return to Portal spell, the entire party are immediately returned to, no matter where they are located on Dominus (as long as they are not in a no-magic zone). Each spellcaster can set their own "return point", so you can have as many return points as you have spellcasters able to cast the Set / Return spells. Add these to the in-built teleporters already mentioned, and you'll be "wizzing" about in no time (no rude comments [img]tongue.gif[/img] ).

As for requirements, they're spells, so the usual spell learning requirements are all you need. This is explained in detail here (or here if the other link doesn't work). Basically, both are Spell Level 5 spells, so a pure spellcasters needs to be level 11 and hybrids need to reach 15. On top of this is the requirement to have 60 skill points. This is calculated by adding the highest Mastery skill the spellcaster has (Wizardry, Alchemy, Psionics or Divinty), and adding 10% of their Air Realm skill (rounded down). If this total to equal or greater than 60, the spells are available for learning. Then just find / buy the spellbooks (or select as a spell pick at the next level up), and begin teleporting to your hearts content.

Oh, one last thing, you can only cast the portal spells out of combat, so you can't use them to get out a tough battle.

Have fun!
