time to teleport

[marycatelli]

Developing a moment where characters jest that pleasant though wards against teleportation are to protect a place, it would be even nicer to have a charm, which prevented teleportation within a range  of a person.

Whereupon the muse pointed out that a teleportation ward might be very useful in a tale where the heroes are in enemy territory.

But, I remembered, there's a way to scry for such wards, and the wizards could logically deduce who was in an unknown one.  So I can leave them there, cursing that they can't have protection for fear of bringing down attack.

And I realized that in the end, they will trap the enemy by creating such a ward and awaiting the attack.  (Which does not unmake the nuisance it was earlier.)
