Encyclopedia

With the proper incantation and skilled direction of magical energies, one can increase the similarity of two different locations. When the two locations become the same up to 2^-20 cm, the universe itself no longer can tell them apart. The net effect is that, while to outsiders the wizard has seemingly teleported from one location to the other, what has actually happened is that the source location became the destination location!

One must be forewarned that if an area has sufficiently high magical flux, it cannot be stabilized sufficiently to achieve such levels of similarity! Also, some items, due to their essentially unique nature, prevent the space around them from being similarized.

Description

Does not require a target. When cast, the user will be teleported to a random location on the current floor. This could be clear across the floor, or a single tile away. It may carry you to safety, drop you waist deep into a group of enemies, or even land you in a pit of lava. The basic Teleport spell offers no guarantees.

Note that, when you learn this spell, you will automatically gain the Teleport with Control spell, which lets you choose your destination, at twice the mana cost.(They are learned as a pair, but treated as separate options when casting.) However, if you have the Teleport Control intrinsic, you needn't bother with the more expensive spell.
