Flash is a Sorcerer’s teleportation spell.

Spell Description[edit]

This spell affords the Sorcerer short-range teleportation, as long as there is a clear line of sight. Casting it, the caster is turned into a living ball of fire, shoots to the target destination, and then returns to human form. The spell useful to traverse obstacles like rivers and chasms, where jumping is not an option, as the danger of falling or drowning is too great. Very experienced Sorcerers no longer need a line of sight to their target destination and can teleport to far-away places.

Lore[edit]

By means of this spell, the Sorcerer can move from one visible place to another without actually traversing the intervening space. After many years of practice, a Sorcerer can even move to places visible not only to the eye, but to memory as well.
