+Creates a magical portal to the nearest town.
+
+You can create as many portals as you want, and when you (or anybody else)
+uses one to go to the nearest town, you can return from the town to that
+portal once. The portals will evaporate after a (long) while, and you
+cannot return to a portal once it has done so.
+
+What town is "nearest" depends not completely on the normal distance to
+the town, but on the distance in the so-called "Noiger" space, which can
+sometimes be quite different.
+
+This spell is great to transport and sell loot to the nearest shop
+and quickly return to the dungeon for more carnage, and pilfering.
