'''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]].
