A piece of jewellery
Description:
This spell records a location in a piece of target jewellery to be used in Jogloran's Portal of Cheaper Travel. The advantage of this spell is that jewellery does not (generally) disappear, but rather (may) lose condition when it is used as the target of a portal. This means that if jewellery is kept in excellent condition, it should virtually never have to be replaced.

The does however depend on the type of jewellery which you use. The more expensive the jewellery is, the more damage or casts it can take before losing condition or disappearing entirely. This can make it a good idea to use fairly expensive jewellery for commonly used portal locations. Jewellery should be checked every so often for normal wear and tear.

If the caster has insufficient skill to blorple an item, the item in question will explode into millions of tiny pieces, and will hurt, or even kill the caster. A magical impact shield can reduce or absorb part of this damage, so any caster should ensure that they have one active. It is possible that a buffer spell may reduce the fire component of the damage, but this has not been verified.
 
Comments:
It is recommended that precious or expensive pieces of jewellery are not used until the caster has significantly more than the minimum skills required to cast the spell. You may not only have to replace the piece of jewellery, but also the caster's own hide.
