What spells prevent Teleportation?

Unread post by Achalon1 »

With the hundreds of spells in Palladium's inventories, I can't seem to find the one I'm looking for. There's one space magic spell that stops people from teleporting into a specific place, but what about trying to prevent someone from escaping via teleport? I'm pretty sure I read somewhere a spell that does this, but I can't find it at the moment.

Any Ideas?

Dimensional Barrier and (when via a spell) Anti-magic Cloud.

D-B is in the PF: LoB book.

The Temporal spell Time Maelstrom affects time spells some of which do have teleport aspects such as Time and Space Warp.

As Written in the BoM, it doesn't specifically say that it blocks teleportation.

Thanks guys! The one from PF: LoB "Dimensional Barrier" is the one I was thinking of but couldn't find.

On another note, is anyone aware of any good Force Field-like spells? There's a space magic one that's way overpowered for what I'm looking for, but it always seemed to me that mages kind of get stiffed on shielding spells. I know there's Invulnerability and Armor of Ithan, but what if you simply don't want to wear armor or make your physical body more resistant, what if you want to block an attack with an effect like the Psychic TK Force Field? Then what do you use?

Alternately, if you're the GM, you can just prevent it as fiat and blame Faerzress

Rifts treats Armor of Ithan like a form-fitting force field rather than a suit of invisible armor. Check out the Heroes Unlimited spell Mystic Shield, that's a force field spell similar to Energy Field but the amount of protection scales with level.

The version on 215 of PF does mention:
Only the sanctum maker can strike at somebody or cast magic without the sanctum spell "removing him

So if you cast a teleport spell to get inside that might qualify as criteria for it to teleport you back out. I'm not totally sure though since at that point the magic is already cast, sort of like if you cast fly as the eagle and then flew into the Sanctum barriers, you weren't actually casting the flight spell inside.

I guess it means if you are trapped in a Sanctum by an evil mage, casting 'blinding flash' could help you escape. Throwing a punch is usually cheaper.

The version in BoM, doesn't say anything about blocking Teleportation. I looked it over in researching the Sanctum Spell.

The Sanctum spell in Rift's BoM just creates a place where the mage can't be detected by scrying, locate and other such spells.

The spell that prevents attacking is the Sanctuary spell.

BoM 155
This spell of legend creates a super wall of force with 400 MDC per level of the caster. In addition, the barrier is impervious to magic energy attacks (negates them; inflicts no damage), prevents people from teleporting beyond the barrier, or casting any type of magic or psionic through it.

Gotta love different versions of spells with the same name, worth buying twice.
