Teleport Other is a level 3 Translocations spell which causes a monster to randomly teleport out of LOS after 3-5 turns, which certain areas may delay. High willpower defends against it, and there is no way to control where the target will land. As the name implies, you cannot target yourself with it.
Warpers start with this spell in their libraries.
Strategy
Teleport is a powerful effect in theory, as monsters are very likely to teleport a large distance away. However, the flaw with Teleport Other is that it checks willpower, so the spell often struggles with low success rates. Investing more into Translocations, a spell school that doesn't directly kill enemies, can be a difficult task. And many monsters simply have too much willpower to reasonably hex. Even if the teleport works, the monster can potentially be warped into your retreat path or even teleport right where it started.
Overall, a strong but ultimately unreliable effect, which isn't a great trait for an escape spell.
