The fact that they made Regina's spell look like it requires effort and that it seems quite ritualistic shows the complexity of magic used in the show's lore. Especially since the technical side of magic was glossed over in "The Jolly Roger" when Regina was trying to train Emma.

Although, I do feel like they just drew random rune and alchemical symbols. I agree. Maybe, maybe not, because they drew an awful lot of them. Hopefully, someone or if I ever feel up to it, will see if it means anything. I doubt it's phrases, so it's likely random with no need to decipher it. I decided to actually look up the runic alphabet and the other symbols and I believe the six symbols at the top (split by the pentagram) literally spell out "portal". xD See! It means something! Maybe something like "Portal Open Once! Love Adam and Eddy!" I could wish. Cool that we've got that so far.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any hidden message like that.

Obviously this is speculation on my part:

My translations could be wrong, but it seems some phrases are repeated on the door like "so be it"; I also believe the phrase "so below" is written under the chains and cogs on the center of the door; I think I also found the word "as" above the chain and cogs on the left side.

Apart from that there also seems to be the alchemical symbols for "time", "purification" and "magnet".
