{{flavour|You are prevented from teleporting or blinking.}}

'''-Tele''' is a property and [[status effect]] which prevents you from either [[teleport]]ing or [[blink]]ing by any means.

==Useful Info==
-Tele blocks any movement considered a "[[teleport]]" or "[[blink]]", as well as [[Blinkbolt]] and [[Vhi's Electric Charge]].

It does ''not'' prevent the following:
*[[Passage of Golubria]]
*[[Transporter]]s
*[[Banishment]]
*[[Abyss]] shifts
*[[God]] abilities that are not considered "teleports" or "blinks". You can still use [[Dithmenos]]' Shadow Step, [[Hepliaklqana]]'s Transference on yourself, and [[Uskayaw]]'s Grand Finale.

==Sources==
-Tele can be obtained from:
*The [[Dimension Anchor]] monster spell
*[[Miscast]]ing a [[Translocations]] spell (called '''Stuck'''; also prevents movement)
*Wearing an [[artefact]] with the -Tele property
*[[Tree Form]]
*[[Formicid]]s have -Tele as a property of their [[stasis]]

You can drink a [[potion of cancellation]] to end the temporary -Tele status, but it won't let you teleport if you have a -Tele artefact.

==Strategy==
Having -Tele is naturally dangerous, since [[scrolls of blinking]] and [[scrolls of teleportation]] are some of the best escape options in the game. Losing these options can outright kill you in the worst case.

However, -Tele artefacts have a small niche. If you have -Tele, you cannot be affected by the teleport [[sourceless malevolence]] effect. Therefore, you may wish to explore the final floor of a branch (namely [[Elven Halls|Elf:3]] and [[Zot:5]]) with -Tele, to avoid being teleported into the end [[vault]]. In any case, you may want to take off the -Tele item before tackling the end vault.

==See Also==
* [[-Blink]] - status which prevents the [[Blink]] spell and [[evocable]] ability, but not any other type of blink.
