Name Wand of teleportation
Icon Wand of teleportation.png
A magical device which causes a creature to be randomly translocated.

Zapping a wand of teleportation inflicts the target (usually you) with the Tele status effect, causing them to teleport away a short time later. When used against a monster, it must overcome the target's magic resistance to have any effect. On a success, the target will look "slightly unstable."

A wand of teleportation is slightly superior to a stack of scrolls of teleportation, if only because they are immune to item destruction from fire attacks and can still be used while silenced. They are one of the least common wands, but most games will contain enough scrolls of teleportation to make them unnecessary. They can hold at most 9 charges.
