Stone Circle

5th-level conjuration (ritual)

• Casting Time: 1 minute
• Range: 10 feet
• Components: V, S, M (Fine incense and rare herbs worth at least 100 gp, which the spell consumes, and 6 miniature dolomite standing stones inscribed with druidic runes worth 150 gp in total)
• Duration: 1 round
• Class: Druid

The spell links your location to a stone circle of your choice whose sequence you know and that is on the same plane of existence as you.

Many of the groves of each of the major druidic circles along with other important sites have permanent stone circles erected somewhere within their confines, most often open to the sky. Each such circle includes a unique druidic runic sequence - a string of magical runes arranged in a particular pattern. When you first gain the ability to cast this spell, you learn the runic sequence for one destination on the Material Plane, determined by the DM. You can learn additional runic sequences during your adventures. You can commit a new runic sequence to memory after studying it for 5 minutes.

The spell can only be cast as a ritual to return to a permanent stone circle that you have already teleported to at least once in the past otherwise, it has to be cast as a regular spell and consume a spell slot. On subsequent castings to teleport to that circle, the spell can establish the connection even when cast ritually. Two Druids cannot simultaneously cast the spell attempting to connect two stone circles at the same time. A stone circle cannot be connected to by another stone circle while in use. Travel is only one-way. As you cast this spell, mark out a 5-foot-radius circle on the ground with 6 miniature dolomite standing stones; burning the fine incense and rare herbs in the centre. As the smoke lightly obscures the area a portal opens within the circle you marked out and remains open until the end of your next turn. Any creature that enters the portal instantly appears inside the destination stone circle or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.

There is a 3 percent chance when casting this spell that instead of connecting to your intended stone circle, it will connect to a mirror portal within the Feywild instead.

You can create a permanent stone circle if you erect 6 large standing stones, worth 4000 gp each, in a circle in a place with a strong connection to nature such as in the thick of a forest or in a valley by a babbling brook and cast this spell as a ritual on this same location every day for a year; when you cast the spell in this way you only need 5 gp worth of fine incense and rare herbs. You can not use the circle to teleport when you cast the spell in this way.
