Today's magic lesson is from the sorcerer, witch and Dragonlord
Morrolan on the dangers of teleporting using (Orb after the 
Interregnum) sorcery:

"he, with great care, not wishing to embed himself into a solid
piece of rock, nor to scatter himself to the six winds, bethought
himself of an image of the door leading into Dzur Mountain that he 
had first seen, closing his eyes until he was convinced he could
see with all the clarity that he would have if he had been standing
in front of it; then, drawing exactly enough energy, he executed 
the teleport, becoming, in effect, non-existent for some few 
seconds while he was in two places at once, and then, casting loose
of his now tenuous grip on his position at Castle Black, permitted
himself, not without a certain disorienting shift, to exist in the
place he had seen with his mind's eye; he emerged, therefore, 
outside of a particular door into Dzur Mountain.  The teleport was
complete.
