Blink

The Blink spell is a minor teleportation spell.

Spell Description
Usage of the Blink spell allows the caster's party to teleport to a distant location in the direction they are looking - that is, in a straight line. The party must land on level ground such as grass or swamp, otherwise the spell will simply fizzle out. The spell, if used properly, does select either the last possible space before an obstacle, or the first one after it. Using this spell can be used as a shortcut for adventurers.

History
Earlier incarnations of this spell in Sosaria - later known as Lib Rec as well - was less versatile as it only worked within dungeons. The true counterpart to the modern spell was Dag Acron, which allowed random teleports on the surface world. All these were replaced by Blink with the founding of Britannia. It was last available in.

The spell was also known on the Serpent Isle. However, by the time of the Avatar's arrival it had become non-functional, with speculation being it was due to the imabalance storms.

Trivia

 * This spell is needed to complete, since some locations cannot be reached without it.
 * The spell was removed very late in the development of Ultima VII Part Two, as it still works in the 1.07 Beta. The fact that it could be used to circumvent triggers, get behind locked doors and allowed rampant cheating clearly was the reason for its deactivation.
