Teleportation is the power to move instantaneously from one place to another without having to physically travel the space in between. In addition to teleporting oneself, users have the ability to teleport others along with them as well. Apart from being utilized as an individual power, teleportation can also be accessed through various magical artifacts and at least one spell and potion.
Overview[]
Teleportation is assumed to be a basic power amongst many species of magical beings. Those who have the ability to teleport are not only able to move themselves from one location to another, but are also able to teleport with other beings and objects which do not possess a teleportation power via physical contact, though this is said to sometimes deplete their magical energy. Some beings have the power to teleport other beings and objects without having to touch them.
While most beings are capable of teleporting between dimensions, some users are unable to teleport between realities, such as when Harry Greenwood and Macy Vaughn became trapped in the reality of Heaven's Vice in "Touched by a Demon".
Some users are able to alter the speed at which they teleport, such as when Alastor vanished in a quick flash of flames when he was nearly vanquished in "Keep Calm and Harry On", but later teleported with Maggie Vera in a much slower way to taunt Mel Vera and Harry in "Red Rain".
Modes (Forms) of Teleportation[]
There are several ways to teleport and specific beings have their own unique way of teleporting. The main difference between each variety of teleportation is the visual effect that accompanies each power.

Trivia[]
- In the original series, when this power is used, it resulted in a visual effect that often tied the user to a specific magical species or alignment (for instance, Whitelighters and Whitelighter-Witches used Orbing, neutral beings used Sparkling while Flaming and Shimmering were exclusively demonic powers, and Fading was used by both good and evil individuals and species). This was not just purely aesthetic, as certain places could only be accessed by specific kinds of teleportation, such as the Whitelighter's orbing power being the only way to enter the Heavens, a trait which can only be bypassed by beings of supreme power, like higher gods.
- Although most users of teleportation have been shown to be able to take passengers along with them, Abigael Jameson-Caine seems to only be able to teleport herself, as Mel Vera once made a comment that implied Abigael could escape but not take her as well.
- In addition, this flaw also seems to carry over to her Phase-Shifting, which Abigael presumably has like Parker.
