"The only drawback is that the Abyss Channel often shifts," Hanna said. "A stable abyss like the mermaid scent grass farm is unique to Gospel City. Other abysses don't have so many 'living' inhabitants to keep them in check, and their terrain tends to be complex and variable, which means the Abyss Channel can't be used as a regular means of transport."
"Additionally, before Mages had fully suppressed the Abyss, they couldn't freely use the Abyss Channel; by the time Mages could enter and exit the Abyss at will, they had already invented transport technologies that rivaled the Abyss Channel."
"Also, many people can't accept the time compression feature of the Abyss Channel. Like us walking here for a few minutes, hours have passed in the outside world. Overall, using the Abyss Channel doesn't save 'real-time', but we certainly feel hours younger."
