Freleng Door Gag
Spell Effects: Lesser Transform Crossroads.
Inherent Modifiers: None.
Greater Effects: 0 (×1).

Cast on a door, this spell changes the destination of the portal (in the physical, non-cross-dimensional sense) to another one within the area of effect. Can be combined with sense matter if you are looking for a specific room, sense mind if you are looking for a room containing a specific person, and so on. The Area Of Effect modifier could be exchanged for a Range modifier if you know where the destination you want to reach is located. Then you could also do away with the Sense effect. Great for corridor gags.

Typical Casting: Lesser Transform Crossroads (8) + Lesser Sense Matter (2) + Area Of Effect, 50 yards (16) + Duration, 10 minutes (1). 27 energy (27×1).

I could be persuaded the above is a greater effect. Lesser effects can affect existing gates, and lesser transform can change the endpoints without changing the nature of the gate, which I interpreted as the spell being kosher. An argument could be made that it transforms the mundane gate into a non-mundane one though. Thoughts?
