Reality has numerous gaps, soft places that make possible instant transport from one place to another.

Teleportation magic finds these openings and stretches them wide enough to allow casters and other people to move through them. These gaps do have a perilous aspect, however, as evidenced by Teleportation spells that enable casters to manipulate them so as to separate limbs from bodies and even destroy objects in a similar fashion.

For all its destructive potential, the Teleportation tradition is commonly learned by scholars of magic such as wizards, who use the spells primarily to expedite travel, to reach places ordinarily forbidden to them, and to slip away from danger unscathed.
