Puddle Jumper Spell


Puddle Jumper is a teleportation spell that allows the caster to teleport themself and up to three others to a location in line of sight. Due to its high cost, time delay, and long cooldown, it is not a practical combat spell.[1]

Description

Puddle Jumper costs (20) mana to cast, and allows the caster and up to three other crawlers, NPCs, or pets to teleport to a surface within line of sight.[1] The maximum allowable teleport distance increases with spell level, but the exact allowable distance is hidden. If the caster tries to teleport to a location that's too far way the spell will fail to cast.

At level 1, there is a (10) second delay between casting and teleportation. The target's form flashes and begins to fade during this countdown, before disappearing with a loud, wet pop.[2]

The spell has a (5) hour cooldown.[1]

SPOILERS FOR BOOK 3

Even though the spell says "line of sight" it really has a distance limitation. [3]

Leveling Up

At Level 5, the casting delay is reduced to 2 seconds. Direct line of sight to the landing surface no longer required, allowing for teleportation to higher elevations.[4]

At Level 15, it is almost as powerful as the Teleport Spell.[1]
