Reopening the portal back to the land of the dead is no longer something foreign for Elaina now. She might have only used it a few times, but those few times are enough times to get familiar with how the teleportation works and how it handles the portal's placement. With that said, it is not that easy to also make a precise portal placement, either, since she has to place the portal by pointing it on the map of the Almanac.
But it only took her a few trial and error to open the portal in the precise location she wanted it to open. It's not perfect, but she is indeed getting the hang of it.
