Wand of teleportation

Obsolete: This article refers to an aspect of the game which has been removed. It is retained for historical reference only.

Type	Wand
Name	Wand of teleportation
Icon

A magical device which causes a creature to be randomly translocated after a short delay.

Useful Info

Zapping a wand of teleportation inflicts the user or a target with the Tele status effect, causing a teleport in a few turns, 3-5 in normal circumstances. When used against a monster, it must overcome the target's magic resistance to have any effect. On a success, the target will look "slightly unstable".

Using this wand on a teleporting target will cancel the teleportation.

The wand can hold a maximum of 9 charges.

Strategy

Teleportation is a good option to get away from bad situations. It's not 100% reliable, but "anywhere on the dungeon floor" is likely not where you were.

Wands of teleportation are slightly more valuable than scrolls of teleportation, since they can be used while silenced. Most games will contain enough scrolls to make the wand unnecessary (outside of silence).
