What did that do, anyway? I don't understand all the "deep magic" jargon.

Oh, that was actually quite simple. You see, naming magic operates on the idea that everything from living beings to inanimate objects possess a true name, one which will allow whoever learns it a certain amount of power over said thing. An example of this would be using the true name of the sea to control its currents.

*Pauses briefly to let that information sink in*

As far as the symbol itself goes, its function is quite simple. Even simpler than the spell your friend cooked up actually, as the symbol is effectively treated as a contract of sorts between the fabric of reality and the caster. Thus, whenever a caster envisions the symbol in their mind with the intent or desire to travel somewhere, it will "talk" to reality, which will then execute a transport in turn.

*Shrugs*

That's the basic idea anyway. Although do keep in mind the dangers I brought up about using naming magic to sidestep the cost earlier, as whoever learns the symbol's Protonymic will have complete control over its functioning's.
