-A '''scroll of teleportation''' can be used for [[teleport]]ing. It has a base cost of 100 [[zorkmid|zm]], and takes between 10 and 19 charges (inclusive) for a [[magic marker]] to write one.
+A '''scroll of teleportation''' is a type of [[Magical item|magical]] [[scroll]] that appears in ''[[NetHack]]''.
-== Generation ==
+==Generation==
-The scroll has a relative probability of 7% for generation. Monsters are likely to be generated with one, and when scrolls are found in an inaccessible [[closet]], at least one of them is guaranteed to be a scroll of teleportation.
+Scrolls of teleportation make up {{frac|11|200}} (5.5%) of all randomly-generated scrolls. General [[store]]s, second-hand bookstores and rare books shops can sell scrolls of teleportation.
-== Identification ==
+[[Closet]]s with no [[door]] that are not generated on [[non-teleport level]]s will always have a scroll of teleportation.
-The scroll is most commonly identified by observing a monster use one when scared. If the teleportation fails, the scroll won't be auto-identified, but it produces the usual teleportation-failure messages "<monster> shudders for a moment" (teleported to the same level) and "<monster> seems very disoriented for a moment" (teleport blocked by the Amulet).{{refsrc|muse.c|619}} You can then [[name|type-name]] and formally identify it if you have the scroll in your inventory. You can also do the same with scrolls picked up in closets.
+A cursed scroll of teleportation is generated in the hidden lower-left section of the [[Rogue quest]] locate level at [[level creation]].
-== Effects ==

-{{main|Teleportation}}
+Writing a scroll of teleportation with a [[magic marker]] takes up 10 to 19 charges.
-If the scroll is blessed, the player will be asked whether they want to teleport. If the scroll is non-cursed, they will teleport to a location within the same level; if it is cursed, they will be [[level teleport|teleported to another level]]. If the player has [[teleport control]], they will always be asked where they want to be teleported. Otherwise, the teleport is uncontrolled and the new location will be chosen randomly. All "safe" places on the current level are equally likely; see [[level teleport]] for uncontrolled levelporting.
+==Description==
-Reading a scroll of teleportation while confused, with [[teleport control]], allows a player to level teleport and pick the level; however, there is still a chance [[rnl|dependent on Luck]] that the teleport may be random.{{refsrc|teleport.c|606}} Having at least +11 Luck will result in success about 98% of the time.
+Reading a non-cursed scroll of teleportation or seeing a monster read one will [[auto-identify]] it;{{refsrc|src/muse.c|737|nethack=3.6.7|comment=auto-ID for monster use}} reading a cursed scroll, reading any scroll while confused, or seeing a monster read either type of scroll will prompt the player to type-[[name]] the scroll. A hero reading a scroll of teleportation with [[teleport control]] can select their destination square for non-cursed scrolls, or their destination for cursed scrolls; the hero can select their destination for a confused reading of a scroll, though there is [[Rnl|a chance dependent on luck]] of a random level teleport occurring instead.{{refsrc|src/teleport.c|821|nethack=3.6.7}}
-The [[Amulet of Yendor]] has an effect on using scrolls of teleportation; when carrying it, there is a {{frac|3}} chance that nothing happens, producing the message "You feel disoriented for a moment." This always happens if you attempt a levelport while carrying the Amulet. Trying to teleport on a [[no-teleport level]] such as [[Sokoban]] will instead produce the message "A [[mysterious force]] prevents you from teleporting!" to indicate that all teleport attempts will fail.
+Monsters will only read the scroll while [[scared]]. [[Aligned priest]]s in their temples and [[shopkeeper]]s in their shops will not read this scroll.{{refsrc|src/muse.c|570|nethack=3.6.7}} The [[Amulet of Yendor]] blocks level teleports from the scroll (or any other source), and causes same-level teleports from the scroll to fail {{frac|3}} of the time.
