 On non-teleport levels, you can still teleport monsters and items; the only restrictions on teleporting are that creatures (including the player) cannot teleport themselves, and the [[quantum mechanic]]'s teleport attack does not work. Therefore, a [[wand of teleportation]] is an incredibly effective defense in high-density levels such as [[Moloch's Sanctum]] and the [[Astral Plane]].

-[[Covetous]] monsters will still be able to warp to the up-[[staircase]]. Covetous monsters include master and arch-[[lich]]es, [[Quest]] nemeses, and named [[demon]]s. Many levels where master liches tend to appear, such as demon lairs, are non-teleport. If you have [[telepathy]], you can easily see where such monsters are warping. However, even if you have [[teleport control]], you will not be able to follow them by teleporting. You will have to walk to the up staircase and endure injury while the monster warps and heals. Once you can reach the up staircase, stand on it to block it. This tactic does not work on the [[Astral Plane]]&mdash;covetous monsters will simply teleport to retreat a few spaces.

 If you are [[engulf]]ed on a non-teleport level, you cannot escape by teleporting yourself; however, if you teleport the engulfing monster, you will stay put and the monster will be teleported away. This is in contrast to regular levels, where you go with the engulfing monster.

-: ''"A mysterious force prevents you from teleporting!"''
+In ''[[NetHack]]'', a '''non-teleport level''' is any level that prevents all forms of self-[[teleportation]] within the same level, whether from the [[scroll of teleportation]], [[teleportitis]], or any other such method. There are generally no restrictions on [[level teleport]]ing or branchporting with [[the Eye of the Aethiopica]]. However, you cannot levelport from [[Sokoban]], nor can you do so in the [[quest]] before you obtain your [[quest leader]]'s permission to enter; the [[Elemental Planes]] cannot be left in any other way than the [[magic portal]]s present on each plane.
 On a non-teleport level, you will not be able to escape the monsters by teleporting yourself, but neither will the monsters escape from you. Thus you might need to change from your usual [[strategy]].
