Phoenix Gate

The Phoenix Gate is a fictional artifact of magical properties found in the Gargoyles television series. With its incantation "Deflagrate muri tempi et intervallia" roughly translated as "Burn down the walls of time and space" it can send its holder and those in their immediate vicinity through time.

The Phoenix Gate was used in several Gargoyles Season 2 episodes:
 * Vows - Acquiring the Phoenix Gate, Xanatos and Demona travel back in time so that Xanatos can become a member of the Illuminati while Demona attempts to convince her past self to leave Goliath.


 * Avalon Part Two and Part Three - The Archmage, who Goliath had believed was killed over 1000 years ago is revealed to have survived by his future self after acquiring the Phoenix Gate, the Grimorum Arcanorum and the Eye of Odin. (See Predestination Paradox)


 * Future Tense - The final time in the series the Gate is seen or used, in order to prevent an ill-fated future for the Gargoyles of New York, Puck attempts to trick Goliath into handing over the Gate. Goliath catches onto his plan and to prevent further meddling by the Children of Oberon, he sends the gate into the rift of time without a mind to guide it. Thus losing it for all eternity.

Timedancer In a story series following the events of the television show, the Gargoyle Brooklyn discovers the Phoenix Gate and is hurtled through time, changing events in several dates in history a la Quantum Leap returning in the first story as 40 years had passed. The rest of the stories show his chronicles of time travel, the meeting of his mate and birth of his hatchlings. This series so far is non-cannon but was looked at as a possible spinoff of the Gargoyles television series.
