Rift Ripper

Rift Rippers are those who specialize in the rather advanced magic of opening or expanding rifts to gain access to other planes of reality. While for most this is done with the aid of multiple spell casters using stable gates or other tools, Rift Rippers usually manage to tear this rifts, albeit less stably, without ad advanced of tools or formal of magic.   This allows them to tear these Rifts without the aid of official guilds such as the Alum, allowing them to offer these services to people for a price.   The art of ripping open holes into other planes, particularly given the frequent instability of their methods, is outlawed in most places with refined laws. It opens up a myriad of dangers, even besides the potential instability issues. Energy from other realms can be dangerous, and the beings the live there often moreso.   Of course, this is another reason their services are sometimes hired on the black market. A wave of created from Hell or the Abyss, creatures that are constantly clawing at any weak point for a way to break through into the material plane and wreak havoc, are quite difficult to trace back to a perpetrator. This makes their services quite popular as a means to cause difficulty for one's enemies, or even take out marks, although many Rift Rippers don't provide killing as one of their services.   Even still, their most popular service is simply travel to other planes, something they often offer cheaper than more officially sanctioned mages, as well as without all the regulations and questions that come with trying to gain access to a stable gate such as the one possessed by he Alum.   The services are not cheap however, as even taking shortcuts and risks, the magic required to create a rift is quite potent, and can take a large amount of resources or years of training to pull off.
