DESCRIPTION
Teleportation was the ability to instantaneously move from one location to another by twisting the Force into dark magicks and then using that to bridge the space and time between two locations. It is easily distinguished by the smoke-like shadows of green or black ichor that one conjures up and surrounds themselves and the body seeming to fade into this smoke. The amount of stamina required by this ability is dependent on the distance traveled.

To a user watching someone teleport, it takes approximately 1-3 seconds (depending on the power of the user) for the body to fully dissolve and during this same time the being will begin to appear in the new location in a cloud of smoke. During this period, distraction will result in concentration being broken and the user left in their original position. Likewise, if the area being teleported to is attacked or obstructed, it will prevent the translocation from being successful, and the user will be left, uninjured, at the previous location.

Short distances (less than 100m) require the least amount of stamina and can be performed a multitude of times, depending on the skill of the user, before exhaustion occurs. Such uses are typically made as entrances or exits, either for dramatic effect or to inspire awe and mysticism in those who witness it.

To move greater distances—up to several hundred meters—requires greater concentration and stamina. The user must be able to envision the room or area that they intend to travel to and hold the image in their head as they teleport. These are typically executed by those far more experienced in the powers of the Force and Shadow Magick. Those who are true and absolute masters of magick are capable of teleporting extreme distances with rumors that some are capable of moving anywhere on a planet.

It was originally practiced primarily by the Nightsisters of Dathomir, but in the ancient days of the Sith Order, it was learned by a few Sith Lords including Darth Kravos. As such, its secrets can be found in some ancient Sith tomes, but it still remains a mystery to most. Due to its invention and perpetuations by darksiders, this ability is generally associated with those of the darkness. However, Force manifestations of the Light have been known to use this ability, which leads some to speculate that a variant of it could be used by a lightsider. As of yet, no Jedi has ever done so.

SPECIAL NOTE
This article details the usage of teleportation in PvP. In PvE scenarios, its potential may be stronger particularly at higher ranks.

INTENT
To flesh out Force powers to comply with the site's new rules without a level system. This is a guideline and should not be used for rule lawyering. Credit to @Malon for portions of the original write-up.
