Portal allow for teleport between two locations in the Dungeon. They were a common mechanic on the Fourth Floor.
Description
Portals are a Dungeon mechanic that allows for teleportation between one location to another. Portals can be key locked to prevent unauthorized individuals from passing through. Portals can pass inside each other without issue. [1]
Things cannot be connected through a portal. Carl tries feeding a rope through one, but the rope gets dragged through the portal. [2]
Cookbook author Milk has an entry on portals, describing how they are different and behave in wildly different ways. [2]
Appearance
Most portals look like a static-television channel, but the portals on the front of the Interdiction Rapid-Response Railway Repair Cart look more like a frosted mirror. [1]

Story
Book 3
Portals are a common mechanic on the Fourth Floor, allowing for movement from the end of the Iron Tangle to the earlier Train yards where the Stairwells are. Movement through portals can be key-locked, where it might be necessary to equip something like the Train Conductor's Souvenir Hat to pass through the portal. The Interdiction Rapid-Response Railway Repair Cart have portals attached to them that can be switched to different destinations.
