Teleportation provides a quick escape to a different (often random) location. Some escape items can teleport you away from monsters. Some monsters can also teleport themselves to flee from you.

Teleportation comes from:

There are three teleport-related properties: teleportitis, which teleports you horizontally at random; teleport control, which lets you choose where teleports land; and teleport at will, which lets you trigger teleportitis to happen whenever you want at a power cost.

Horizontal teleportation almost always move you away from your current position, but there is a very rare chance to land on the exact same square.

A user has suggested improving this page or section as follows:

"Add more details about horizontal teleporation. It seems that you never land on a trap, in water or in lava."
