Teleportation can only be used if:
{{Name}} is a [[Mutations#Mental Mutations|mental mutation]] that allows the player to teleport instantaneously to a nearby location, with a certain margin of error.
* It is to an empty cell
 
* The cell has already been seen by the player
Teleportation grants the "Teleport" ability, which when used, will prompt the player to pick a tile to use the ability on. The selected tile must be a visible or previously explored tile. Around the selected tile will be shown an area containing all of the possible tiles the player can be teleported to, the radius of which is determined by mutation level.
* The player is not [[Astrally burdened]]
 
* The creature is not on the World Map
Confirming one's selection will cause the player to instantly teleport to a random tile within the area shown around the selected tile. If Teleport is successful, it will be placed on cooldown for a mutation level-based number of rounds. If the randomly chosen tile is occupied by a wall or other impassable obstacle, Teleport will print "{{qud text|&YYou are shunted!}}" to the message log and will attempt to find an empty tile within 1 tile to place the player in instead; if such a tile cannot be found, Teleport will fail and its cooldown will not be incurred.
== Formulas ==
The following formulas are used to determine uncertainty radius and cooldown based on mutation level.{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts.Mutation|class=Teleportation}}
{|class="wikitable"
! Uncertainty Radius
| {{simple formula| 13 - Level }}
|-
! Cooldown
| {{simple formula| 103 - 3 * Level }}
|}
If the uncertainty radius becomes smaller than 2, it will be set to 2 instead. Additionally, if the cooldown becomes lower than 5, it will be set to 5 instead.

== Ability Cooldown ==
The cooldown for {{name}} is influenced both by mutation level and by willpower (WI). The following tables indicate {{name|possessive}} willpower-adjusted cooldown (CD) at mutation levels 1, 5, 10, and 20.

== Advantages & Disadvantages ==
{{Opinion}}
=== Advantages ===
* Very effective way of removing oneself from danger
* Repeated use can make traveling through zones much quicker
* Great synergy with {{favilink|Clairvoyance}}, allowing one to teleport to areas they couldn't normally see
=== Disadvantages ===
* Unless you leave the map, enemy will have supernatural knowledge of where you ran off to and chase you down
* Very high cost at character creation
* Cannot teleport to unexplored tiles
* Long cooldown
* Degree of uncertainty makes teleporting extremely imprecise, especially at low levels, and potentially dangerous if the player is teleported to an undesirable location
