How does transportation in TWST works? Like how do you get back after transporting through a mirror? Also I confess to having used retry tickets

Twisted Wonderland has many modern modes of transportation such as:
  • trains
  • planes
  • buses
  • boats
  • bikes
  • cars
There are also modes of transportation unique to Twisted Wonderland, such as:
  • “teleporters”/warp pads (which require government approval)
  • magical wheels/blastcycles (magic motorcycles)
  • flight (whether with brooms or without; flight magic without a broom seems to be used primarily by fae)
  • teleportation magic
  • magic mirrors
Ortho states un book 7 that “People often use mirrors, crystals, and basins for magic-based transportation and communication," and suggests that a set of conditions must be met to link two places. We don’t know what those conditions are, but this is backed up by Leona in Endless Halloween Night.
It seems that mirrors are often used to “connect two places”. As an example for communication, Sam provides an enchanted looking glass/Viewglass (modeled after the one in Beauty and the Beast) to stay in touch with the students as they traverse the Spectral Realm. Viewglasses are also mentioned in book 7. It’s actually the disco ball (made of mirror shards the students gathered) that sends everyone back from the Spectral Realm.
In terms of how students get back to NRC after leaving through a magic mirror, Ace has dialogue in 1-15 of the first Halloween event which implies an explanation. “The school mirrors let us go home and back […]”
This seems to suggest there must be a mirror on the other side for them to return?? That’s the impression I get from this wording. However, it seems that Adeuce were not able to return to NRC instantaneously via these mirrors in book 4 because the school was closed for winter break. Thus, the connection to their destination/landing point was also temporarily “closed” or cut off.
Last comment I’ll make isn’t really relevant to the rest of the ask and/or my response; I imagine many players were struggling with passing the battles of later books—a significant amount, given that TWST had to implement the retry tickets at all (they were not always in the game).
I’m sure lots of us resorted to using the try tickets and that has helped them be able to advance and enjoy the main story. No shame in it, really! You’d have to be really grindy, have gotten a very early start in the game, and/or be a whale (big spender) to clear those late game battles easily.
