Although there were huntable 'gaunt shadow masters' on Taisgath they weren't really true shadow masters by the lore. If a Moon Mage was powerful enough to summon one from the PoP and bind it to their will upon the PoA; they'd be strong enough to destroy large swaths of civilization on their own without the need of summoning a SM.

As far as our own experience, a shadow master is the top of the shadow creature food chain. That's why there isn't a gaunt shadow master hunting ground any longer and combining devourers doesn't create one.

It took Taramaine, Mortom and Erzebet together (using teleologic sorcery) to take down two shadow masters. Two Moon Mage council members and almost everyone else there still died doing it. The obelisk was destroyed and a Y'Shai died in the collateral damage.

I'd like to be able to weaponize a stable moongate in some way but I think the whole idea of a rogue gate is that you're attempting to manipulate space without the tools to do so (or control it any way).

>>> 100th circle ability?

From personal experience I can tell you that the 100th circle ability has no impact on your ability to summon a rogue moongate (ie it only works on teleport)

Since you're not feeding enough power into the spell pattern to make it coherent, you quickly work your way to the minimum required.
That won't affect your current attunement very much.

Turning your focus solemnly inward, you allow the configuration of the Moongate spell to spread across your skin as a shadowy design of fractals and geometric abstractions.

You tap into the mana from thirty of the surrounding streams and attempt to keep it channeling in a stream around you.

You gesture.
You attempt to open an astral conduit here, using the energies of the shard Rolagi.
A brief wave of disorientation washes outward as reality itself tears wide open, forming an unstable Moongate around you!
You are pulled through your unstable Moongate.

[Astral Plane, Rolagi Conduit]
Thousands upon thousands of stars hang in darkness above, around and even below: the heavens unfurl completely around you, without any hint of ground or a horizon. An invisible plane of force seems to extend through the area, providing a sense of substance in place of solid earth. An intricate web of burning energy slowly swirls all around you and seems to touch the distant stars.
You also see the silvery-white shard Rolagi.
Obvious exits: none.
