By performing this ritual, you use your own life essence to mark a stationary object on the material plane to which you can travel via the Use Planar Shortcut spell from any other similarly marked object you have marked on the material plane. The ritual reduces your maximum hit points by 6d8 and causes level three exhaustion until you complete a long rest. When casting the ritual, you determine whether the shortcut leads through the Feywild or Shadowfell.
The shortcut lasts until you dispel it, the physical object on which you created the shortcut is moved or destroyed, or you die. The shortcut can be dispelled by dispel magic cast at 7th level or higher or by a wish.
Although only you can access your shortcut from the material plane, the shortcut may be noticed by powerful entities of the Feywild or Shadowfell who may thereby gain access to the material plane. Whether on the material plane or the mirror plane to which you linked the shortcut, you always know the distance and direction of a shortcut you created.
