A good escape spell, if you have decent power, and if you use it proactively. You get to control the direction of the portals. Even if the exact location isn't precise, getting 4-5 tiles of distance can make it ''much'' easier to escape. But it isn't perfect. Monsters may step in a portal, and sometimes either the entry or destination portal won't be in a great location (monsters in the way of the entry portal, for instance).

			As mentioned, it's best to use the portal proactively; cast this spell before entering a dangerous fight. That way, you don't waste time casting mid-battle, and know the destination before things get dangerous.

	The destination portal lasts after you use a passage, so watch out if you're casting it more than once. An immediate second cast has a 50% chance of delivering you to the entry portal. Thankfully, you can use '''>''' to enter the portal you're on, so this just means you lose a turn. You can also use this property to your advantage:		The destination portal lasts after you use a passage, so watch out if you're casting it more than once.

You can also use this property to your advantage:
	* You can "juke" enemies; cast Passage once, run away for a bit, then cast it again to go back to the first portal.

Not bad if you ran 20 tiles or so~~.		*You can "juke" enemies; cast Passage once, run away for a bit, then cast it again to go back to the first portal.
