Passage of Golubria is a level 4 Translocations spell which creates a wormhole, allowing instantaneous passage between two points. When cast, you select a target tile within your line of sight. Two portals are immediately created; one will be near you, and the other will be on or near the selected tile. Both are created with a similar amount of scatter as a controlled teleport.
Entering one portal immediately teleports you to another portal, destroying the entry portal in the process. If there is only one other portal, then it's easy to guess where that'll be. Each casting of the spell creates two more portals, however, and when there's more than one possible destination, one is randomly selected to serve as a destination. This makes it difficult to use the spell with any degree of precision after its first use, though existing portals do deteriorate rather quickly (30 - 50 turns, regardless of spell power).
Casting Passage of Golubria on any floor that blocks teleport control (Elven Halls:5, Slime Pits:6, the Abyss, etc.) will cause the spell to fail:
A powerful magic interferes with the creation of the passage.
History
Prior to 0.10 only one set of gateways could exist at one time.
