The whole recieve command was completely negated unfortunately by being able to circumvent it with invis. The players we are discussing are high level mages, not level 12 mages and high level mages will have invis.

I think the whole argument isn't about being able to move another person, but to be able to move them wherever you want against their will.

The mechanics don't really matter. What DOES matter is if people should be able to, in any circumstances be able to move somebody against their will to another location.

Summon from my experience has usually been used in 2 ways:

1. Summon somebody onto a gate or other aggressive rune (back when the warp meant death to most).

2. Summon into a room with 15 aggro pets, and another type of aggressive rune so that said person would have to fight 15 pets, the mage and possibly eat a rune at the same time.

For pk reason a mage doesn't need summon as we've established. I personally don't think such a spell is required and portal is actually more useful than summon ever was.

It allows multiple people to come through, and, more importantly a person of any level can use a portal. If you want to be able to pull in that level 70 cleric they can summon an aerial servant, you can scry the servant and open a portal which the cleric can pass through. Very handy.

What would be the purpose exactly of having a spell that works like a single-person portal but requires a token exactly? The only reason *I* can think of is so that said person can be summoned against their will but it just makes it a bit more tricky.

The steps required to summon somebody in the old days.

1. cast scry at target
2. cast summon at target.

New method:

1. scry target
2. set up delays
3. trans invis to target
4. give token to target
5. delayed teleport goes off, followed by summon

Introducing a couple of extra steps doesn't really change the problem, it just makes it a little more difficult to do and is pretty pointless.
