Or is this a misinterpretation, and it's more that a "gate" requires a force on both ends to open two-way travel, while natural fissures are just one-way leaks? (and Alzadaal's fissure only required force on Source end for being already present and open on Void end?)
Actually.. for clarity, what is (or was) in Alzadaal's Legacy? G'raha, on arrival, surmises it must be a gate, given the security. But Vrtra found it as a natural fissure. The alchemists of the time, using a synthetic Atomos, "managed not only to expand the fissure, but also manipulate it as one might a gate..."

a) When we arrive, there is no such Atomos, so why does G'raha conclude it must be a gate? Is he just wrong? Mistranslation?
b) Probably the source of all of this confusion, they converted it to a Serviceable gate, but without the necessary "guiding force"?

This all seems to lead to Y'shtola being wrong/unclear about travel through a voidgate. The "fissure=1-way, gate=2-way" explanation seems to be what clears all of this up well enough, but the game seems pretty hazy on usage..
