Name Ring of teleportation
Icon Ring of teleportation.png
This ring occasionally exerts its power to randomly translocate its wearer to another place, and can be deliberately activated for the same effect.

The ring of teleportation induces teleportitis in its wearer so long as it is worn. It can also be evoked to deliberately cause teleportation, producing the same effect as a scroll of teleportation on success. It is usually generated cursed.

The chance to successfully evoke the teleportation ability is affected by Evocations.

Strategy

Rings of teleportation are the only renewable source of teleport in the game: thus, it is often worth keeping one around. While their high failure chance, occupation of a ring slot, and side effect of teleportitis makes them less than ideal for emergencies, they are useful for situations where you need controlled teleport to get into an area (such as Cerebov's castle, many later vaults that are just large stone rectangles, some Ziggurat entry vaults, and Pandemonium in general).

While it is never really worth training Evocations solely to make these rings reliable, if you already have a high Evo skill they do become considerably more useful as escape options.
