Umbral spell portal and endless spells.

Endless spells can't be cast through the spell portal, right? But they CAN move though? But can they go through and still move the same turn? Can they move through and do damage on the other side?

It's basicly this point of the Malign Sorcery FAQ:

Q: Do things that increase the range of a caster’s spells also
apply to the distance at which an endless spell can be set up
from the caster?
A: No. Things that increase the range of a spell’s effects
do not apply to the distance at which an endless spell
can be set up. By the same token, things that allow
you to measure the range of a spell from a different
location to the caster cannot be used when setting up an
endless spell.

Acutally no zu the moving part, because the rule Arcane Passage states this (its the updated version of the Errata but it only added the second sentence):

Quote

If a predatory endless spell finishes a move within 6"
of an Umbral Spellportal model, remove it from the
battlefield and set it up again anywhere within 6" of the
other Umbral Spellportal model from this endless spell.
After an endless spell finishes a move within 6" of an
Umbral Spellportal and is set up again, it cannot move
again in that phase, and you cannot use the Arcane
Passage ability again for that Umbral Spellportal in
that phase.’

The predatory Endless Spell can only use the Spell Portal if it finishes it's movement within 6". So it's only replaced and can't move again this turn.

The problem with the damage is, that the Endless Spell triggers the damage after finishing the movement. The redeploying with the Spell Portal shouldn't be movement it should be a set up, so the endless spell does his damage most likely before it is redeployed with Arcane Passage.
