Title: Gilforn's Notes I

Author: Gilforn

I present my notes on moongates, moonstones, and facet magic. Hopefully, my research here will in time make the text of my books obsolete. Knowledge changes, but wisdom is forever.

...

Our stories and lore are filled with stories of gates to other places, such as the Time of Legends. The histories concerning the stranger's gate and the facet Minax strikes from confirm that other worlds or facets exist. Nystul's Trammel need not be the end of our journey.

...

Moonstones started to appear when Minax broke into our place from hers. Since these stones are the tool to travel between facets, I find it interesting that some side effect of her magic caused the spontaneous generation of this interesting substance. I have heard of a similar phenomena with blackrock where large castings using the substance generate small prisms of similar magical potential. While the chameleonic color of moonstones seem a far cry from blackrock, there are likely underlying rules for all magical substances.

I do not have time to study them currently, nor do I have access to blackrock.

...

Nystul's response to my request was some excuse about the information not existing. I believe more must be known about the gate the stranger took from his world to Sosaria to defeat Mondain. How can there really be nothing about the legendary Siege Perilous gate in the Royal archives?

...

I had tried for weeks to determine a way to create a stable and permanent gate between facets. Moonstones gates were so temporary, and the current Vas Rel Por spell is limited in where it can travel. I believe these limitations are not innate to the magic, but problems with our spells. Some of my experiments to produce more stable gates have ended catastrophically with the gate exploding moments after casting. The energy released was much greater than the mana I introduced into the spell's casting. I wonder if it is possible to detonate an already present gate?
