Co-hen, you can only cast _most_ spells in a province with a friendly lab. If you mean that you can only gateway
into a friendly lab, well duh. His question wasn't "How do I attack a province with my army if it's across the ocean", it was "how do I teleport my army across". Given that the only spells that allow an
army to attack long distance are somewhat limitted (except Astral Travel, S5, Thaumaturgy 9), Gateway fulfils his question.
The death spell can severely damage your own troops, Faery Trod only goes forest-to-forest, and neither is readily available to base Marignon because they don't get high nature or death very easily.
On the other hand, if he _does_ get a toehold on land across the ocean, it takes one turn to build a lab, and he can get his nice Marignonite army over there, which he otherwise couldn't get through the ocean.
Or, he can forge a ring of sorcery to go with the Starshine Skullcap on that S3 Grand Master, and research towards Astral Travel. In the short run, it's probably much more efficient for him to get a toehold, build that lab, and Gateway in a bunch of KotC, crossbows, and whatnot to reinforce the toehold.

I'd simply advice for forge rings of water breathing, prepare a/some good fighters and send him into the tritons.
Usually a Banelord is good, and you should probably have Death on your pretender.

He already _has_ provinces with tritons, he just doesn't think the tritons he can recruit are very good, nor can they readily go up on land for him. And given that his game is in progress, how does "You should have some death magic on your pretender" help him at this point?
The game is already in progress, he already has taken some water provinces, and he wants to get his _army_ across the ocean.
