I understand that we cannot shift INTO Summoning chambers, as that would allow for us to bypass the Sorcerer only restrictions on these structures, but we are allowed to Shift out. My question is, does Planar Shift (740) receive a benefit from being used in a summoning chamber? If so, to what degree?
See log below
[Summoning Chamber]
Incarnadine sigils wrap around the circular chamber in a tight embrace, their luminescent surfaces casting a bloody light throughout the surroundings as they hum and pulse with power. A triple-band of the angular sigils forms a tight circle in the middle of the floor, the designs there casting a steady pale violet glow as the rest of the room is intermittently cast in darkness by the wavering symbols around you. You also see a latticed yellow crystal.

You study your surroundings and use your keen knowledge of the arcane. It quickly becomes evident that this room is not a magical workshop.
You attempt to discern any aspects of this room that could affect your ability to pierce the veil in any summoning exploits. An obvious connection to the valences saturates the room.

Using a long piece of translucent chalk, you outline the shape of a summoning circle upon the floor.
Roundtime: 5 sec.

You study your leather-bound tome for a long moment, imprinting the complex pattern of a set of sinuous sapphire blue "fs-beq-zi-im-lu" runes upon your mind, and then you focus upon your summoning circle as you begin to draw the runes. When all five runes are complete, you draw a defensive sigil at the center of the circle. The circle is prepared, but inert, awaiting the touch of your mana to activate it.

You begin drawing a faint, twisting symbol while softly intoning the words for Planar Shift...
Your spell is ready.

You gesture at a summoning circle.
Your spell activates the dormant summoning circle. Pure white flames of essence blaze around each rune and link them together in a complex circular web. As the web completes itself, the runes transform from their translucent color to brilliant sapphire blue. Lines of sapphire blue energy snake from the runes to activate the sigil at the center of the circle. The central sigil vanishes, and, with a blinding flash of light, a shifting sapphire blue rift opens.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
