-If not stabilized by normality effects, there is a 0.5% chance of teleporting to a random location.
+{{Name}} is a mental defect that causes the player to randomly teleport on occasion while in combat.
+If a player with Blinking Tic is close to a hostile creature, there is a 0.1% chance each round for them to teleport to a random tile in the current zone. Unlike normal {{favilink|Teleportation}}, this can be to an unexplored tile.
+Players with Blinking Tic will not be able to teleport if they are affected by [[normality]], such as when they are wearing an {{favilink|ontological anchor}}.{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts.Mutation|class=BlinkingTic}}
+When Blinking Tic triggers, the message log returns the following:
 {{qud quote notxml|&rYou lurch suddenly!}}
+== Advantages & Disadvantages ==
+{{Opinion}}
+=== Advantages ===
+* Grants 3 extra points to spend during character creation
+* Can be negated by wearing an ontological anchor or an item with the [[nulling]] modification
+* Low rate of occurrence
+=== Disadvantage ===
+* Can teleport the player into a dangerous situation
+* The player must constantly be astrally tethered to counteract its effects, and astral tethering impedes other mental mutations
+* Sources of constant normality fields can be difficult to locate
-Unlike regular [[teleportation]], this can teleport a creature to a previously unexplored cell.
