Mark and store#
Mark is a sixth-circle Magery spell. Target a recall rune in your backpack while standing at a valid marking location. The spell checks region travel and blocked-location rules.
A runebook stores up to 16 marked runes. Drop a valid marked rune onto it to add an entry. Recall scrolls refill its charge reserve up to that book’s displayed maximum.
Recall and gates#
Recall checks the departure and destination, criminal status, encumbrance and blocked locations. Charge-based runebook travel consumes a charge after a successful cast; spell-based routes have their own resource requirements.
The combat-travel restriction is based on recent player-combat records with a 30-second heat delay, not simply every fight with a monster. Other region rules can still prevent travel.
Gate Travel creates linked gates that normally last 30 seconds in the current expansion. Region checks, destination fit and other travel restrictions apply. Pets only accompany travel when they meet the relevant teleport rules.
Facet and young restrictions#
Young characters are explicitly refused Recall or Gate destinations on Felucca by these spell implementations. Murderers are refused destinations outside Felucca. These checks remain relevant even if the shard limits its available facets.
A rune records a destination; it does not guarantee the destination remains accessible or unblocked.
