About thee planar rifts, in Spacefarers Handbook there is something about
ships that go to Dreadspace, the demi-plane of Ravenloft. So it can
happen. But how would speelljammiing be affected o other planes. In
Findeer's Bane, a forgotten realms novel, there is a nautiliod that goes
through a gate to another plane, i guess it was the outlands but i don't
have much planar knowledge, on that plane thee magic became less if you
got to the middle so spelljamming stopped. How would it be affected on
other planes. In some planes some schools of magic are enhanced or
otherwise affected, could you go faster there?

I don't have Lost Ships, what are sarrgassos for example? How do they
affect spelljamming?
