Spoiler Warning!!!: Plot and/or ending details of a Fighting Fantasy publication follow. Please DO NOT read this article if you do not want foreknowledge of this publication. Although the article below is based on canon, some of its content is considered extrapolation because it assumes a certain course of events through an adventure that has many possible routes.

"Spoiler!" Beware!

Despite the description, the spell can be blocked by solid wood, such as a Throben. It is not known if the magic of the Throben Doors also affects the spell.

The spell may not always prove beneficial. When confronting Naggamanteh, the player may use the spell to escape the ogre torturer, but will actually teleport closer to him, so angering him further.
