-Hostile teleports (sourceless malevolence, teleportitis, wyrmholes), on the other hand, can be extremely dangerous, often getting you into situations that are difficult to retreat from.

There's no way to prevent sourceless malevolence, other than wearing a -Tele item, but teeportitis can be cured by [[potions of mutation]] and wyrmholes take a few turns (and can be dremoved by reading a scroll of teleport).

 '''Teleportation''' is the act of moving from one place to another instantaneously. Teleports differ from [[blink]]s in two main ways: teleports can send you to any valid location on the floor, while blinks are limited to [[LOS|visible]] locations. And blinks are instantaneous, while many teleports take some time to kick in.
