And the only part of the movie I recall clearly was...Patrick Stewart carrying a little dog and the phrase: "The Spice Must Flow!" But yes, this seems like the same sort of concept--but it doesn't have to be addictive. It can even be personal (like each teleporter can a have a different "spice" or thing they have to ingest or take in order to do what they do--magic is more representative and less scientific like that, if you want to go that route). | |

Novices can easily skip a mile down stream. only 1 out of 1000 can travel through seas and only the grand masters dare try the oceans. Either way, the "caster" has to know and visualize the path through the water. | |
| Mar 28, 2017 at 8:34 | comment | added | sch | how about having to see the place you want to go to, as in, looking at it in real time, to prevent teleporting inside an object/person. Teleporting as far as you can see, or watching a live stream from a place across the world | |
