Controlled Blink is a level 8 Translocations spell which warps you to a nearby open space of your choice in your line of sight. The space must be somewhere visible, not deep water or lava, and cannot be behind a translucent wall. Controlled Blink behaves much like a scroll of blinking. While exploring the Realm of Zot or while carrying the Orb of Zot, Controlled Blink functions like a plain, uncontrolled Blink.

Tips & Tricks

  • For stabbers, it can be very useful to know the noise grid of this spell. The "@" character is the position where you land after blinking, and the "§" characters are cells where the noise will be heard.

History

  • The spell will be removed in 0.26.
  • Prior to its removal in 0.19, Controlled Blink could be found in the Akashic Record.
  • Prior to 0.17, Controlled Blink was a level 7 spell. Additionally, use of this spell on levels that prevented teleport control, such as The Tomb and final levels of a Ziggurat, resulted in an uncontrolled Blink.
  • In 0.6, you couldn't blink into deep water even as a merfolk unless you were levitating.
  • Prior to 0.6, Controlled Blink was noisier than Blink and could wake everything within radius 7.
