Hm.. agreed -:) Somebody suggested a "homeing" rune, that players could cast
and "teleport" to --- only if the homeing rune is still there. This seems
like a reasonable idea to prevent "shortcutting" maps. I think the same
person also suggested that players should be able to teleport to homeing
runes that are _not_ around anymore for some special maps, like the
world maps and cities. There would still be the need to "mark" those
maps as "can always teleport to", but it should be a lot less work.
Personally I like this idea very much.

Oh.. that makes sense. I never played [A]D&D, and the only "word of recall"
I have seen before crossfire was the one from Moria.

I don't really care whether teleportation is a wizard or priest spell
--- after all, it's not a combat spell, so it doesn't matter whether
it uses mana or grace.
