Yes, take it, please - Far, far away.
On the real subject of the thread, though - I somehow doubt that Doug would be able to open a gate out of or -into- a place where his metatalent was inoperative. Now, it's possible that he could end up someplace where he was the -only- person who's magic looked anything like what he was familiar with, but he'd still have his mojo. If he didn't, he wouldn't be able to latch a gate onto the joint in the first place.
Blessed be.
