 '''Planar travel & gating''' is a [[Sage Study|sage study]] in the [[Sage Field|fields]] of [[Black Magic (sage field)|Black Magic]] and [[Unreality (sage field)|Unreality]], providing knowledge of how one may travel from one [[Plane of Existence|plane of existence]] to another within the [[Planescape Universe]].  While this can be performed by spells, it can also be done through magical portals called "[[Gate (planar doorway)|gates]]," which exist in scattered places throughout the [[Prime Material (inner plane)|Prime Material plane]].

-These connect different planes of existence, imbued with powerful magic and often looked after by gatekeepers whose role is to protect travellers with warnings and advice, rather than to bar their way.  While these gates may exist anywhere, most are profoundly remote and difficult to reach; many require intricate methods to activate, such as uttering incantations, using a special key or performing a ritual.  Most importantly, gates provide access to exotic items not readily available on the character's home plane.  Additionally each plane in the universe has it's own knowledge and mysteries.  Those wishing to make use of phenomenal power must sometime travel whence through these gates to places beyond imagination.

 The gate of one plane of existence always connects directly with its counterpart elsewhere, working as a conduit back-and-forth for travellers.  Eventually, however, the character learns how to circumvent this limitation.
