Daenge Magiu (daˈɛnʤe ˈmaʤu)

Gloom Wound, Dark Wave Language

"Can you stop drilling this into me, I can't use portals without a reagent," Raga groaned seeing that once again the lessons his father wanted to go over was safety with portals.   "I am the Portal Master and my son will know how to use this type of magic," Soül responded, "and all of the dangers tied to it."
Portals are a dangerous facet of what is considered part of normal life in Miyla. Portals are a means of traveling that requires a Feather Dragon's feather, a Fur Dragon's tuff of fur, or a Scale Dragon's scale to open and maintain a portal. However, there are many things that make the Gloom Way dangerous and they all leave wounds or scars on people or the land and in some cases have caused the deaths of people.

The Gloom Way

"The path only the gods walk for it is road that no one can follow."
- Guide to the Gloom Way
The Gloom Path is the domain of Tialímin the God of Paths and Roads and unlike some the other divine realms this one is real to some extent. The Okeri's Naba that they use to travel between the worlds is considered to be a part of the Gloom Path. Due to the magical nature of the Gloom Way people who stumble into it can get Konn Prünnzu Rienblei even though they were nowhere near Konn Prünnzu and the cases were often more severe than if they were just in contact with Konn Prünnzu.   The Gloom Way is the foundation of Portal Magic in Bridt Sche and so all portals feed into it. This is one reason why Portal Master Soül Soyla will close the portals at times as to minimize the risk of injury from the Gloom Way.

The Dangerous of the Gloom Way

There are several ways for gloom wounds to happen and these wounds are often Konn Prünnzu Rienblei which is a magic poison that can kill people if not treated. Some people accidentally travel to the Gloom Path through rough portals or portals malfunctioning where they get to places they shouldn't be. These are Pocket Dimensions that are either created or naturally within the Gloom Way such as the Naba which is hard for people who are not Okeri.   The spell Shadow Step allows the caster to step through the Gloom Path and into where they want the go however the spell is dangerous. People who don't have a strong magical connection such as Ungifted people or people how don't have strong Dark alignment. Aligioni Sebla's mother, Irˈgincurle, who was ungifted did die during a shadow step. This is common enough that most people don't use the spell because of how dangerous it is.   The Naba is also tricky to travel because the world has Kasak, shades, that actively hunt the people inside of the Naba. The wounds that they inflict are magical and it poisons people's magic making it harder to use spells to get out. If portals are not sealed when people leave the Naba these monsters can get out and cause havoc on Miyla or where ever the portal opened.

Localization

The The Gloom Path is where these types of injuries happen but the wounds carry over with the person when they come to the other side of the portal. The Naba is also the place where these things can occur which is a subset of the Gloom Way.
