Janus creates a portal in the world. If placed on a wall, the portal will create a passage through to the other side of the wall that Janus or any ally may use. The portal may be entered from either side, but closes after 1 use.

If placed on the ground, enemies and Janus will fall into the portal, being teleported into the air above it. Enemies take damage upon landing, and are considered banished during the fall.

You need BBcoding, a chapter....and the skill order? Lemme check. WELP. No skill order? How will new players to Janus know which ability to skill first, second, third or last? I'll give it a downvote for now.... just try to improve for me and for your sake. Editor rampage on the move :P
