Teleportation (spell)

Teleportation
Teleportation in the Woebrook Universe bends the fabric of space time when performed. This effect can be mitigated by a skilled and experienced spell-caster. The process involves invoking the Uni to create an inverted wave before and after the actual teleportation takes place. If this is not done, then the rupture in spacetime that occurs that will be replicated in all corresponding tessellations of the caster's universe. For this reason Non-Uni Teleportation is considered a Dirty Magic.

Casting
Most being cannot cast a teleportation spell without considerable preparation. The process involves constructing a tessellation below the entire area you wish to teleport, making this spell consideribly easier for smaller objects and spaces. Once a teleportation spell site is set up, it can be used only once, before the tessellation dissipates.

Invoking the Uni is a critical step for localizing and controlling the spell's effects. The Uni grounds the tessellation and stops it from exiting the caster's universe. The Uni must be drawn separately, or invoked using a charm. The size of the uni does not matter, but it must be present for the spell to work.

The spell sends all matter in the tessellated area a certain distance (dictated by the tesselation's shape and density of the pattern) in a straight line drawn between the first and second instances of the two Uni's. If only one Uni is present, the spell will cast directly perpendicular to the tangent of the Uni's position in relation to the tessellation. In addition to added safety, properly invoking the Uni provides a great deal more control over your spell's direction.

Most human casters find drawing a teleportation spell's tessellation base to be a very tedious and mentally draining process, especially when performed over a large area.

Beings made of formless/ shiftable energy are easily able to perform the spell by reshaping their own "bodies" to Invoke the Uni and create the tessellation nearly instantaneously.

Non-Uni Teleportation
Non-Uni teleportation is considered "Dirty Magic." It's effects are not limited to the caster's universe and can be noticed across all other corresponding universes in the Universal Tessellation.

"Dirty" Teleportation has been used as a weapon of war between beings of different universes. By deliberately leaving out a specific universe when invoking the Uni, the caster can target that universe to also receive the effect of the teleportation spell, causing localized havoc and chaos in the other dimension. There are ways to protect your universe from these effects, but they are expensive and magically exhausting, so most beings do not employ them unless they are expecting an attack.

Inter-Universe Teleportation
Inter-Universe Teleportation (IUT) is a theoretical magic that would allow the caster to preform a localized teleportation between Universes.

No Human is known to have discovered the secrets of IUT but beings from other dimensions have claimed to have solved it. Demonstrations of this ability have never been able to be indisputably verified.
