 For example, say you cast [[Fireball]] with the Tele status. If you teleport, you get the effects of Fireball, then teleport, then wait 1.0 turn in the post-teleport location.

-Scrolls of teleport are powerful and reasonably common escape tools. In just a few turns, you can be sent dozens of tiles away from your original destination. However, since the teleport is entirely random, there's always a risk of a 'backfire'. You might only be teleported a few tiles away, or you could end up in a whole new can of worms! Therefore, you should try to initiate teleports earlier rather than later.

 *A [[potion of cancellation]] will also end a teleport (along with any other effects you may have).
 **Monsters with [[Quicksilver Bolt]] or a [[wand of quicksilver]] can also cancel your teleportation, whenever you'd like it or not.
