Bugs[]
The spell, and similar spells like SPIN140.spl used by original game Phase Spiders can cause game crashes in the Enhanced Edition, and the spell can also be an issue if used at certain maps which can break sequences and plot triggers. This spell was removed from the game. Jumping, teleporting and blinking can be done in different ways with different spells in the EE versions, for the AI's use, but not the player. Modded content has reintroduced the teleport function for players, with some changes.

Area of Effect: Caster
Saving Throw: None
This spell transports the caster to any place within sight. When the spell is cast, a dimensional portal opens up in front of the caster, which he immediately steps through. Upon passing through the portal, the caster finds himself at his chosen destination. The caster always arrives at exactly the spot desired, and the dimensional door doesn’t allow anyone or anything else to pass through. Spells about to be cast upon the wizard will fail, and missiles about to hit him will instead hit thin air.
