You need to concentrate to keep the gate open. It goes away when the gate does.

I don't know why it would be listed as an affect. Easily undertstood if listed on the release command, but affect?

You have gate as an affect, to fix a bug with gate.

Folks who stood by a gate when it closed use to step out of the shadows, when they where hidden just by the gate closing. This was made to fix that bug.

I can't remember off-hand if what Tragonis is saying is true. What's definitely true is that it's there to represent the concentration you are using to maintain the gate. If you really want, I can make it an invisible affect, but it's still going to be zapping your concentration either way. It definitely should NOT be in your release list - only spells you can release go there and gate is not one of them.

I don't think it zaps your concentration post-cast, though. IIRC, Luce could drop sanc, form a gate, and then immediately sanc up again.

Could be a bug, I suppose. I'll have to look into it.

Please don't make it an invisible affect - if it truly does suck up concentration.
