Isn't this the gate spell?

It's kinda different - the character has to be in the room for both entrance and exit, and no one else has to be involved, basically if a character wants to do something in a dangerous place and needs a quick way out within four hours. E.G. UM (although this spell probably won't be allowed in UM for being similar to recall)
Wizard goes in to find some priceless treasure that has just been revealed, he casts the entrance just outside.
He grabs the treasure, hordes of undead and demons spring out of nowhere!
He quickly casts an exit and vanishes back into the Deep...

I think the gate spell already achieves pretty much this same effect.

This basically sounds like a word of recall spell except that you temporarily move where you recall to. You would set your 'recall point' outside the dungeon and if in trouble, you would cast recall and go back to your new temporary recall point.

Hmm...I think it would be pretty neat if you had like...10 locations you could set...and whenver you cast recall you could choose one of those locations and go there...

10 sounds kinda high, though. You could pretty much use it instead of teleport, then without the ever present danger of ending up in the ocean, a dragon's lair, a pit of snakes and/or razor blades, etc.

Maybe a feat for extra locations (At home everywhere?), perhaps with a random choice when the spell is cast?

It could also give a plus to haggle/demand/request because you are 'at home everywhere', the recall thing just being a tiny plus for wizards.

Maybe I should post in feats :oops:
