 ===Blink===
 When you uncontrolled [[blink]] with teleport control, you are allowed to choose a direction. It will blink you 2-7 spaces in that direction, at no delay, and gives you some [[magic contamination]]. Try not to use it more than twice in a row to avoid unpleasant consequences.

+Teleport Control is a temporary status. There are three methods of obtaining it: evoking a [[ring of teleport control]], casting the level 4 spell [[Control Teleport]], or drawing the [[Portal]] card (sometimes). It immediately ends if you teleport or blink, though it can also expire after enough time.
 While [[berserk]], you are unable to benefit from cTele, but teleports are still delayed. [[#-cTele|Certain levels]] can prevent cTele from functioning entirely, which also prevents the delay.

-The '''teleport control''' intrinsic allows you to choose your destination when [[teleportation|teleporting]], but increases the amount of time you have wait before the teleport takes effect. The control is not completely precise: there can be a deviation of up to 2 squares. If this would land you in a wall or a monster, you get a random teleport instead. Additionally, with teleport control a [[blink]] becomes semi-controlled. Upon casting, you'll be prompted to select a direction you'd like to go and will then blink 2-7 spaces away. The teleport control status will be lost after this, and you'll gain some [[magic contamination]]. Note that if you cast the spell, reconsider, and then cancel the controlled Blink, you'll expend one turn. The level 7 spell [[Controlled Blink]] allows you to choose a exact position and without needing teleport control.
