Here are several methods that can help you overcome the Traversal Gem bug in BG3:

• Walk away and return: Sometimes, all it takes is a fresh perspective. Try walking away from the platform and then returning to it. This may reset the interaction and allow you to use the gems.
• Long rest at the elevator: Give your characters some well-deserved rest. Try long resting at the elevator before returning and interacting with the gem. This can also help reset the bug and enable gem usage.
• Drop and pick up: It may sound strange, but dropping your Umbral Gems on the floor and having one party member pick them all up can sometimes clear the bug. Give it a try and see if this workaround works for you.
• Reload your last save: When all else fails, reloading your last saved game can be a reliable solution. Try loading a previous save and interact with the gems again. This might get rid of the bug and allow you to progress.
