The opening and closing of esoteric channels of Poarta energy, a form of shebv heya, allows a user to command life and death and the movement of the metaphysical. There are four methods to do this:

1. Meditative control. This allows the user to control the shebv heya within themselves only.
2. Structural channeling. This feng shui-style method allows one to control it in a building or area.
3. Ritual assassination. The use of specific rituals in order to kill targets and gain power from it.
4. Beyonding. Metaphysically extending one's consciousness to the afterlife without dying, taking power from beyond, by using near-death experiences to open gates in the Beyond.

The gates one can open are as follows:

1. Moartea Poarta - the gate of life and death; opening this gate means death and killing, closing it means one will not go beyond
2. Razboi Poarta - the gate of conflict; opening this gate means war, closing it means a lack of struggle
3. Secretul Poarta - the gate of secrets and mysteries; opening this gate means revelation, closing it means the clandestine
4. Inchis Poarta - the ever-closed gate; used to channel the flow of shebv heya
5. Destinul Poarta - the gate of destiny; opening this gate means one's fate is sealed, closing it means it is not bound
6. Balaur Poarta - the gate of discipline and territory; opening this gate means the flow of power, closing it means storing it
7. Avere Poarta - the gate of wealth and resource; opening this gate means the flow of resources, closing it means storing it
8. Vanator Poarta - the gate of the hunter; opening this gate means the hunt is begun; closing it means the prey is close
9. Partas Poarta - the gate of skill and talent; opening this gate means the expanse of skill, closing it means the honing of it
10. Puternica Poarta - the gate of strength; opening this gate means increase of strength, closing it means consolidation of it
11. Deschis Poarta - the ever-open gate; used to channel the flow of shebv heya
12. Neutru Poarta - the neutral gate; used to channel the flow of shebv heya

Psychopomps are people who go beyonding. They do so to guide the souls of the dead beyond the Gates. Doing this service often awards them other powers.
