Ah, sounds interesting. How bout this implementation, use
the destination object in the player to determine the home,
but also have "ideal" or "easy" map points that are teleported
too (ex. temples).
This will allow you to have a generalized teleport code, such
that you could have a spell that only will set "home" for a
player standing in an "easy" teleport spot (ie you can only cast
a rune of homing on that spot). Furthermore, if
it seems reasonable to implement, allow a higher level (perhaps
a quest spell?) spell that can set home to any arbitrary place.
