	'''Hold Portal''' is a spell that magically bars a door, gate or any open portal, preventing others from willingly attempting to pass through. The effect is more than just a magical lock; it suppresses the will of creatures, making them reluctant to grasp the handle, step across the threshold or otherwise interact with the portal. Any form of doorway or passage can be affected.		'''Hold Portal''' is a spell that magically bars a door, gate or any open portal, preventing others from willingly attempting to pass through.

-'''Hold Portal''' magically bars a door, gate or open portal so that others will be unwilling and therefore unable to pass through.  In essence, the door is "locked," but the spell also saps the will of creatures to reach out and take hold of the door's handle, or pass under the door's lintel.  Any form of portal can be affected.

-This resistance likewise keeps creatures from bashing a door in, or using levers and other tools to force the door open.  As the creature begins the attempt, suddenly it seems an unimportant action.  The creature's thoughts are filled with doing some other thing and the held portal is forgotten.

+The reverse of the hold portal spell, this form denies any will or desire from creatures to close an open door, assuring that it can still be used for entrance or escape.  The spell will force open a closed door — if it's not barred on the inside.  Barred doors must be forced open first, whereupon the open portal spell will ensure it isn't closed again so long as the magic lasts.
