 The [[ring of teleportation]] induces [[teleportitis]] in its wearer so long as it is worn. It is always generated [[cursed]].
 Teleportitis only triggers when it would land the player in [[LOS]] of enemies.

 *Rings of teleportation are almost always bad items to wear, but they may see some potential, albeit risky use in [[stealth]]y stabbers. Note that this ring will not always place the player directly next to a monster, but it does not immediately alert resting monsters to your presence, either. The risk probably outweighs the benefit, especially when considering the value of other available rings.

-Rings of teleportation are the only renewable source of teleport in the game: thus, it is often worth keeping one around. While their high failure chance, occupation of a ring slot, and side effect of teleportitis makes them less than ideal for emergencies, they are useful for characters with [[Control Teleport]] and a [[scroll of magic mapping]] for jumping to new areas, accessing heavily guarded vaults, or ninja-ing [[rune]]s. Even with minimal Evocations training, trying repeatedly in a safe location until you succeed is an option with no serious downside. Just don't rely on them as an emergency escape option if you haven't trained the skill at all.
+Rings of teleportation are the only renewable source of teleport in the game: thus, it is often worth keeping one around. However, keep in mind that it takes high evocations to be able to teleport reliably. It's best for escaping when you can see a bad situation coming and have time to swap rings and accept a failure or two, rather than when you're already in a bad situation and every aut counts.
 Characters stuck with a cursed ring of teleportation on their finger may wish to wear an [[amulet of stasis]] just to avoid getting themselves randomly launched into a terribly dangerous situation. Just remember to take the amulet off quickly if you find yourself in need of a [[scroll of blinking]] to get yourself to safety.
