[Viktor is well aware that the Hexgates are a hell of a thing to casually drop into conversation, but Kyle wouldn’t be asking if he didn’t have some frame of reference for that kind of technology. In fact, he follows up fairly quickly with an example of something that sounds comparable, even if it seems to be an innate ability of mages, rather than the way he and Jayce managed to harness the power.]

Admittedly, the teleportation was at the behest of our investors.

[As in, Viktor was never really interested in revolutionizing trade for Piltover’s wealthy elite—that had just been a foot in the door, the first spell Jayce witnessed and therefore was able to reproduce. That said, he understands the concerns here. The summoning rituals conducted by the mages seem to be fairly involved, and it wouldn’t surprise Viktor if the Singularity received something in return, for the ability to draw on its power.]

Theoretically? Perhaps. [It’s not his priority, but he’d be lying if he said he hadn’t considered ways to bypass portal travel.] “Teleportation” is a term that could be used loosely. If you’re moving quickly enough, such that your travel is instantaneous, is that functionally the same as travel through a tear in space? A portal?
