Atrena Quiglin makes the following conclusions in her manuscript. She referred to the portals or gateways as doorways.
A Barasi Point doorway will open to another, allowing free travel for some time; however, they automatically close at dusk and dawn of either location. This can be confusing as some doorways open to different worlds or locations with different day lengths.
These doorways can open at randomly, however, more likely to do so on the full moon or new moon. If located near civilization or land which has been defiled the gate will open less frequently if at all.
Transportation is via a condurate through the Ethereal plane. The boundaries between the real world and the Ethereal Plane around Barasi Points are often weak. Some Ethereal based creatures and spirits such as ghosts, can easily enter the mortal plane.
The location the doorway opens to open to can be random, or an individual Barasai point may have a preference, being closely linked to another location. Sometimes this link is only one way. Fey creatures can automatically open most a gateway provided it is aware of the destination location. The Fey does not need to know the exact location only a general understanding of its destination.
Atrena has developed a spell that can help opens the Barasi Point but cannot control where to opens to.

This spell will open a natural transportation doorway sometimes found in Holy Groves or Barasi Points to another such location.
The user has little control over the destination, it is almost always random or subjected to the whims of any nearby fey folk. However, if they are familiar with a location and have a piece of living Organic material from the desired destination there is a reasonable chance that the doorway will open to this location. Some Holy Groves are magically linked so open to this location by default.
Unless interfered with the Doorways will remain open until dusk or dawn at either the entry point or destination.
Available for: Wizard
She comments that having an organic or living item from a destination would increase the chance to open a doorway to that location.
She also speculates that convincing or summoning a friendly Fey creature to control the gateway may be an option. She notes that she is considering researching such a spell but does not trust the Fey and thinks it would be inadvisable to attempt to compel one.
