How it works

The Bow of Translocation blesses a bow or crossbow. Loose an arrow, and you are carried to where it lands. Each translocation spends one charge.

If there is no safe space to stand where the arrow lands, you stay put. No safe landing space could be found at the arrow.

Tips

• Fire upward onto a ledge or across a ravine to cross it in one shot.
• A Teleport Ward cancels the trip inside its sphere, and a Tool Ward silences the bow.

See Travel for the other ways to move.
