Leywalker abilities

By Stragedy, in Talisman Rules Questions

Two questions (so far):

1) Can Leywalker place a portal on his own space when casting a spell? I think yes.

2) Does he gain a spell when teleporting, since he lands on a space with a portal token? Technically, I think the rules suggest yes as written, but that seems wrong.

Thanks!

yes and yes.

Thank you.
