Movement

Movement is the act of changing the player character's position on the map. That can be done using direction keys, travel, jumping, or teleportation.

Pressing a direction key moves you one square in that direction. With modifiers or prefixes it can move more than one square. The following table shows what happens if you use a particular modifier and encounter something during movement.
