You teleport away from danger into new danger

How about semi-controlled, so that you can give a direction but not distance and game picks up random spot in cone-like area in that general direction?

Even that would be very powerful, exact control is IMO too powerful.

Possibly. Have you tried any of the classes on the feature/magic branch, Timo?

No. I haven't had much time to play anything lately. I play my favorite dwarf priest when I feel like it, but I have now played one char for about two months and have got almost half-way to dungeon, that's how much I have time playing.

One idea for spellcasting I have is to make variable casting times. MM could take 1/4 turn in high levels, alter reality 20 turns (if not disturbed) and so on. A bit like ranger shooting arrows, you could cast single target spells multiple times / turn if spell is low level and you are high level. Preparation spells could take longer times. You could even reintroduce invulnerability if you make it cost a lot, last only few turns and make casting time 20 turns. No more infinite invulnerability.
