Can you see through them? most, yes
What about gravity? Each side is seperate from the other.
If you open one up horzontally under a person, would they fall through, or find themselves floating? They would get pushed aside from the rift.
What if you opened a portal with a local opening that was verticle (like a door), but the remote opening was horizontal on a high grav world, would people in front of the local opening be pulled through? Gravity does not come through a magic portal or rift.
Also, it says that something unwanted usually gets through. Is there a table for this? yes, but the GM who made it hasn't been published in Rifter yet.
And wouldn't it only apply to remote locations where there is something unwanted that could get through in the first place? Meaning, if you opened the remote gateway into an empty, locked jail cell, there's nothing there to try to sneak through - or is it some thing from random locations magically slipping through your portal (like an unwanted shortcut)? The meaning is that there are alot of things that would just love to be in a magic rich enviroment, and they can sense it from the other side so they are drawn tot he portal and will go through if they can. Some are as simple as portergists, while others want to use the power to take over things. Not all of them are physical beings nor are all of them intelegent.
