Reference to the game "Portal", 2007, edited by Valve.

In the teaser trailer, a synthetic voice explains the possibility of player-controlled portals and finish this demo by claiming "Now you're thinking with portals !".
Good game and nice reference.
Teaser viewable here.

It is not our intention to replace popular transportation methods such as ships, zeppelins, and flightmasters. These are cheap, practical, and safe methods of transportation. Portals, when used properly, are just as safe and certainly faster. HOWEVER, in practice portals have a history of being a burden on any society in which it is offered to the general public. Of all the major spells developed and maintained by the Kirin Tor (including polymorph), portal technology is the closest to becoming banished from anything but emergency usage.

Why all the trouble? First, Ley Lines don't grow on trees. Massive traffic through a Line from all over Azeroth wears down the infrastructure and must be periodically replaced. We charge the mage for every portal via reagent taxes, and encourage mages to pass off these charges to those using the portal. But these taxes don't even begin to cover the time cost of replacing a Line, only the materials.

Remember that a portal most used is a portal most efficient: More persons using a single portal causes no further stress to the Ley Lines, and is encouraged. A "Portalpooling" program is in the works that will give tax breaks to mages who create portals for no less than (5) persons. Read your latest issue of "Kirin Tor Monthly" to see the progress of the Portalpooling program.

Second, while a properly used portal is just as safe as your average zeppelin trip (maybe more so considering the engineering practices of goblins), an improperly used portal can potentially yield dire results. Here is a list of immutable regulations for appropriate portal usage:

Page 5

Rule #1: Do not create a portal to anywhere but the designated Kirin Tor portal drop-off zones. The most dangerous aspect of the portal spell is its vast potential. We realize it's easy for a mage to create a door to anywhere, so our only way to combat such potentially deadly acts is to make it punishable by death.
Special Issue License D-6 permits open portal usage, but is rarely issued. Speak with your local Portal Trainer about qualifying for this license.

Rule #2: Create a portal in the proper place, and use it in the proper way. Do not create a portal beneath the feet of someone. Do not linger halfway in and out of a portal. The portal is not a garbage disposal. The portal is not a shield. Do not use a portal like an umbrella, or any kind of shelter from the elements.

Page 7

Do not back out of a portal after partially entering it. Do not try and "grab" the edges of the portal, either from the inside or the outside. A portal does not create "handlebars" to assist usage, and disruption of its boundaries is dangerous.

Page 8

Rule #3: Never force or trick anyone to go through a portal. Not only is this a great way to lose repeat customers, it's also incredibly dangerous (See Rule #2).

Page 9

Rule #4: Do not have someone who is polymorphed enter a portal. This has yet to not cause an explosion. This is also covered in "Polymorphic Rules & Regulations."

Page 10

Rule #5: Do not remove the liquid filter from a portal spell. Portals innately prevent large amounts of flowing water through them so that they can be cast underwater. To allow for water elementals to use a portal, this filter can be omitted when casting. Do not omit this when underwater! We feel obligated to mention Moderately Severe Claims Disaster Case 34-zz: "The Great Lakeshire Drought & The Great Ironforge Flood of 24 A.D."

Page 11

Rule #6: Standard Portal dimensions are 3 yards, 1 foot, 3 and 3/4 inches tall, 2 yards, 8 feet, 9 and 15/16 inches wide. Double-wide portal creation requires Special Issue License G-16, and is commonly issued to mages with a clean portal record of 8 years or more. Speak with your local Portal Trainer about qualifying for this license.

After reading this, now I'm thinking with portals!

Personally I loved the threat of death if you used a portal to get to, say, the inner reaches of the Sunwell. I guess that's why Mages can't port people to places like that, not because the game won't let them, but because the Kirin Tor will port directly to the offending mage and kill them on the spot (breaking their own rules in the process).

So, when's Blizzard adding this reduced cost for 5 person portal thing huh? And has anyone tried sending a polymorphed player through a portal?

I'd like to hear more about the 'Great Lakeshire Drought and Ironforge Flood of 24 A.D.' TBH, it sound pretty cool.

Now you know why Warlocks are far superior we just yank people through the demonic plane with our Lock summon portals. we dont need no stinking ley lines.

on the other hand how did you like getting Yanked through Lord Jaraxxus's bath water... with him in it. i heard he has a rubber ducky.

They actually should do that "Portalpooling" thing, imo. If 5 or more people use one portal, the mage is refunded the reagent.

We realize it's easy for a mage to create a door to anywhere

I need to find a way to get my hands on a D-6 permit, but this book explains while teleports to cities which no longer exist such as Theramore and Ancient Dalaran can still be used - while the city no longer exists, the portal destinations are still established and thus you can still use them without Jaina coming after you.

They must have come up with a much more eficient system of Ley-Line repair for them to have removed the Reagent taxes. Perhaps it has something to do with the magic that was released into azeroth because of Deathwing breaking through the Elemental plane and into azeroth, like how Relics were drained of their power and became Junk.

I don't know how much one should read into this item. If mages who make non-approved portals are really put to death, how come nothing was done over the portal 여군주 제이나 프라우드무어 created to Fray Island in the Tides of War novel? This is before she became leader of the Kirin Tor, so keep that in mind.
