Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Type	Scroll
Name	Scroll of teleportation
Icon

A scroll that translocates the reader to a random position after a short delay.

Reading a scroll of teleportation will cause the player to teleport to a random location after several turns have passed.

You feel strangely unstable.

The actual duration depends on several circumstances:

Circumstance	Duration
Normal	3-5 turns
In the Abyss	add 5-14 turns
In The Realm of Zot or when carrying the Orb	Outside the Abyss, adds 5-9 turns.

Strategy

• Keep in mind that the teleport is entirely random. If you are attempting to escape a dangerous situation, there is a chance that you only teleport a few tiles away!
• If necessary, you can read a second scroll of teleport while a teleport is pending to cancel it and keep you in place. Teleport scrolls are very precious, so evaluate the necessity of consuming a second scroll:

You feel strangely stable.
