Teleportation

Background

Teleportation is the ability to instantaneously transport oneself or others from one location to another without traversing the intervening space. This power may function through a variety of means, including spatial folding, quantum displacement, or magical means. Some users may require a line of sight or prior familiarity with the destination, while others can teleport freely across vast distances. In more advanced forms, teleportation may extend beyond spatial boundaries to include temporal shifts, dimensional travel, or metaphysical transitions.

• Instantaneous Movement
• Spatial Displacement
• Warping

Possible Applications
