For other teleport spells, see Teleport Spells.

By casting this spell, a wizard instantly transports a small object to another location. The object can weigh no more than 2 ounces per level, so a 5th-level wizard can transport an item weighing 10 ounces. Distance is not a factor, but interplanar transport is not possible. Like the teleport spell, accuracy depends on the caster's familiarity with the target location (see table).

Probability of Teleporting:
Destination is: High On
Target
Low
Very familiar 01-02 03-99 00
Studied carefully 01-04 05-98 99-00
Seen casually 01-08 09-96 97-00
Viewed once 01-16 17-92 93-00
Never seen 01-32 33-84 85-00

This spell cannot place an object within any solid, such as a wall or an enemy. The destination must be a surface, not empty air or inside a solid or liquid. If this condition is not fulfilled, the spell fails. Control of this spell improves with time. A 5th level caster can teleport only non-magical items, and then only if the item is unencumbered (not tied down or in someone's grasp). At 9th level, the caster can teleport a magical item. Only at 12th level can the caster affect an item in someone else's grasp. To teleport an object held by someone else, the wizard must first make a successful attack roll to touch the object. This is a “called shot"; the wizard's initiative has a -1 penalty and the attack roll has a -4 penalty. The owner of the item can avoid the spell with a successful saving throw vs. spell. Since a sheet of parchment usually weighs less than two ounces, wizards often use this spell to send written messages.

Notes: Uncommon for dimensionists; otherwise, very rare. (Updated from Dragon Magazine.)
