Teleport object was an alteration spell that could instantly transport a small object across large distances.[1]
Effects[]
One object weighing no more than a few ounces (a minimum of six for the most basic user, but the spell might as well work with one or two more) could be teleported by the caster to a location seen before on the same plane. There was a chance that the object arrived up to 100 feet (30 meters) away from the designated point in any direction. It never materialized within solid matter, however.[1] In contrast to the more powerful teleport object spell, also known as vanish, an item could not be transported to the Ethereal plane.[2][3][4] Also, the spell did not work on undead creatures.[1]
Components[]
Aside from verbal and somatic components, teleport object required a gemstone that was clear or transparent in uncut form and worth at least 25 gold pieces. The caster also had to touch the object as part of casting this spell.[1]
Uses[]
This spell was frequently used by mages to exchange written messages, as pieces of paper presented no problem for its weight restriction.[1]
