You are right about vortex being an ability and therefore there are no rules saying that it can be used through portals. An official answer you be really nice to have. Is there any way to contact them for rules questions?

Yes, indeed. However, the
Yes, indeed. However, the whole effect counts as a charge action for Balkazar and this is the part that confuses me. Enemies are not allowed to go through, but Balkazar is. If you take a look at his ranged weapon a similar problem arises. His ranged weapon can be used through a portal, according to the rules, and if it hits it places the model in base contact with Balkazar, just like vortex of chains.
P.s. the ranged weapon as well as vortex say "relocate the model". It doesn't say "towards/away" (pg 8 of in the rulebook) which is a different thing. The way it is written it seems that vortex can be used because the targeted models are not actually dragged (towards/away) through the portals but relocated near him. So fluffwise you could say that he throws his chains through the portal, touch his enenemes in an unapropriate way and teleport them close to him to continue harassing them :P .
