Dimension portal

Dimension portals are objects that appear throughout the Dragon Realms in Spyro: Shadow Legacy. They allow Spyro to phase into the Shadow Realm and vice versa. Spyro cannot use them unless he has the Shadowstone. In the Dragon Temple, Tomas gives Spyro the Shadowstone and teaches him how to use the dimension portals. According to Tomas, the dimension portals have not been used for thousands of years. Later, when Spyro and Sparx reach the Dragon Dojo, they realize the door is shut, so Tomas advises them to use a dimension portal because they can walk through wooden doors in the Shadow Realm.

When Spyro is standing on a dimension portal, the player can press the X button to activate it. By pressing the button again, Spyro can phase back into his original world.
