Teleport Other

You teleport an adjacent creature to a random nearby location.

Cooldown: (level based)

Teleport Other is a mental mutation that allows the player to teleport a creature to a random nearby location.

This mutation grants the "Teleport Other", activated ability, which when used on a creature directly adjacent to the player, will teleport them to a random tile within the current zone. This can be to any tile in the current zone, even tiles the player can't see or hasn't explored, so long as it is not occupied by a solid obstacle. This act is not considered hostile on it's own, and will not incite aggression from neutral creatures or their allies.

The player cannot use Teleport Other to teleport themselves, although it can be reflected back at them by a creature with Mental Mirror. Attempting to select oneself with Teleport Other returns the following message:

You may not teleport yourself with Teleport Other!
