Description: The Teleport spell sends you to the location where you have previously focused a moonbeam. If you attempt to teleport to an unfocused moonbeam, the results are usually fatal. This is quite a difficult spell, but the more mana you use, the further away you can go and still teleport back to your moonbeam.

Notes

  • With knowledge of the metaspell Ripplegate Theory, a predetermined location is also a valid target (via CAST RIPPLEGATE).
  • There is no way to teleport another person using this spell.
  • This spell leaves you stunned upon arrival. The resulting balance hit can cause you to fall over.
  • Potential distance is based on the mana used, not raw Primary Magic skill as it was previously.
  • Using a Katamba moonbeam results in a longer stun and you also arrive prone. Tezirites have a cantrip that improves their ability to teleport to a black moonbeam.
  • The farther the teleport the longer the stun.
  • Teleporting between the islands of Qi'Reshalia requires more mana, and teleporting between the mainland and the islands requires even more. This uses a similar modifier calculation to Moongate
  • Teleporting across the ocean also results in a longer stun than there would be for the same distance on the mainland.
  • Teleporting onto a boat results in a very long stun, even if the distance is short.
  • If you cast Teleport on a Moon that is not out, you will be disintegrated, unless you have the 100th circle ability which instead places you in the nearest conduit of the Astral Plane.
  • Teleport can also be used to enter or leave the Astral Plane when directly cast on Grazhir shards.
  • Using Teleport to enter or exit the astral plane, whether using the 100th circle ability or not, has less chance of a critical failure than using Moongate. Regardless of which spell you use, the chance for critical failure becomes negligible with enough skill.
  • Teleport's disadvantage compared to Moongate when entering the astral plane is that it leaves you with no held mana.
