Traveling and Communication on Shokiyu, Day 2

◦Are there magical means of transportation (teleport spells, magic carpets, dragon-riding)?

Teleportation and dragon riding are the most common magical means of transport. Teleportation is usually used for shipping items, but is occassionally used on people. However, the spell becomes more likely to fail the more people you try to teleport. A clever mage got around this by confining the spell inside a crystal, allowing large groups to be teleported without the risk of the spell failing (since they are in essence, touching the spell itself rather than trying to cast it themselves) Large cities will often have a network of teleportation crystals (so Crystal A at the entrance takes you to Crystal B in the town square which takes you to Crystal C by the marketplace, etc.)

Dragon and wyvern rides are the more common way to transport people, but it can get pricey, as each dragon master/mistress charges their own rate
