[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8578919, member: 23751"] You still aren't understanding, because nothing I said involved "only within the sphere." It's "only within the sphere" is does teleportation fail. It does not fail outside of the sphere. So as written, because it does not in any of your quotes cause the spell to fail, the teleport from outside the sphere succeeds as a departure point and then fails as a destination point WITHIN the sphere. Right. So the caster successfully departs from outside the sphere due to the teleport spell not failing, and then nothing. It fails inside the sphere as a destination and there are no rules for where the caster ends up. Which is what I have been saying. Teleport doesn't fold space. That's a gate spell. Teleport just transports you, which means you do cross the intervening space, but you do so instantly. It does have two ends like a string, and like any string you can leave one end and travel to the to the other end, even if the other end is cut short. Teleport works like that as written. You leave the destination successfully, since the spell works. You travel along the string instantly. And then the teleportation fails as a destination inside the sphere. So where does the caster emerge? [/QUOTE]
