Not exactly. What I can do is more akin to channeling one's own will to change reality. Putting it simply anyway.

@Caldizar

*Pauses for a moment*
Let me ask it this way. In our world, mana is something that exists in everything. But mana doesn't cast spells; it just protects the objects the spell is channeled through.

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 execute a transport in turn.

@Caldizar

*Looks up while walking, digesting the explanation*
That almost sounds like channeling reality itself to cast spells. Is that something you can do?

*I stay silent for a while before replying*

Just exploring I suppose. And maybe getting that symbol I showed Lily earlier up and working.

@Caldizar

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Nods*

Indeed.

@Caldizar

Do you have any objectives in mind?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Smirks*

The lack of a destination does not imply an overabundance of helplessness, nor ineptitude. I merely have the freedom of choice in regards to where I end up.

@Caldizar

I'm going to remember that one next time we get lost. It feels a lot better than "I have no idea where we're going."

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

You do realize that it is almost impossible for me to become stuck anywhere yes? The power of a god isn't exactly something you should underestimate.

@Caldizar

A god that doesn't know where he's going.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Of course not.

@Caldizar

Did you have some sort of plan for if you got stuck somewhere without any resources?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Sighs*

Anywhere but there, honestly. Like I said back at the tavern, I didn't have a destination in mind when I left. I just did and hoped for the best.

@Caldizar

Did you bring any kind of supplies with you?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Not any natural way that I know of.

*Glances off to the side*

Besides, even if I did find a way, I wouldn't go back. There's not much back there worth returning for honestly.

@Caldizar

Where were you hoping to get to?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Raises an eyebrow*

I just said it only went one way. There's no way for me to use the gate to get back again.

@Caldizar

I get that it's one way, but if you were there before, there's got to be some way to get back, right?
