Listen closely. The trick to remote displacement is creating a need. Start by identifying the object you wish to relocate. For example, my teacup sitting here on the table between us. Next, select the location you desire that object to inhabit. In this case we could use the mantel above the fireplace.
Now, once you have your destination in mind, create in that space a need for the teacup to exist. The deficiency must be profound, as though that mantel will be forever incomplete without my teacup sitting upon it. Your vision must be intent enough to compel reality to your will.
No, no, that’s not it at all! See what you’ve done? You’ve gone and shattered my favourite teacup and spilled tea all over the floor.
Look, we’re not playing at psychic locomotion here. Any wizard’s apprentice can knock a teacup off a table with a basic mental shove. This is not about pushing an object from point A to point B like some poltergeist fidgeting with the crockery. This is a lesson on rematerializing the teacup from tabletop to mantel without the teacup traversing time and space. Our aim is transit liberated from temporal and spatial constraints. Transmundane conveyance, if you will.
Watch how I do it. First, I envision the exact location where the teacup is not, and then I create a powerful cosmic desire for it to exist in that space and, voila! The teacup is no longer on the floor but on the mantel!
What’s that? How’d I reassemble the broken pieces? That’s a different lesson altogether. Today we’re discussing remote displacement. Please try to focus.
A person? You want to displace a person? You’ve only managed so far to nudge a teacup off the table, and already you want to start displacing people? Yes, it is possible with people, only they are harder to put back together if you break them.
Yourself? Of course, you can displace yourself; it’s the same principle as the teacup. Just imagine the place where you are not and create an irresistible need for you to exist in that exact location in this precise moment. You probably want to pick some place more spacious than the mantel, though.
Convenient way to travel, I must admit, saves a lot of time. It is of vital importance, however, that you are familiar with your destination. Mishaps can prove quite fatal.
Yes, visualizing your terminus is part of it, but you also want to make sure there are no obstacles inhabiting the space you plan to materialize into. Imagine, for example, displacing yourself into the centre of a solid stone curtain wall.
In fact, that reminds me of Mad Magus. The crazy old fool displaced himself into his favourite wooded glade only to find himself standing in the campfire of a band of invading orcs!
Burn himself? No, of course not. As a level fifteen wizard, Magus possessed immunity to fire. But he sure did startle those orcs!
