The SoA takes out a chunk of the crystal sphere, causing a disruption in the
stability of that crystal sphere.  This disruption rapidly breaks down the
sphere's cohesiveness and causes it to explode, sending fragments across the
general area of the phlogiston.  Any particle that hits another crystal
sphere starts the same disruption in the new sphere.  A chain reaction on a
massive scale spreads across known space and destroys the universe as we
know it!

All kidding aside . . . IMC, the SoA would stop just short of the crystal
sphere wall and not inflict any damage.

Neither glue, suction cups nor sovereign glue would stick, IMHO.

You can access the entire space allowed by the portable hole, but only
through the portion inside the crystal sphere.

Although it is never really defined, I use a 1-foot thickness.  IMC, each
one is the same, with a few exceptions (i.e.: Herdspace).

Treat it like an extraplanar gate.

I have to agree with Static on this one.  You could activate it, but you
need to continually provide the appropriate energy to keep it running.
