I found this elsewhere on the 'net, and have it posted on my page. I
haven't really had cause to use it in my game yet, but thought you might
find it of interest.
The Spell follows my sig

Teleportation

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class: Manipulation
Type: Physical
Range: Limited
Duration: Instant
Target Number: Base is 4, modified by distance.
Drain: (F/2)S
The threat of teleporting into a solid object is almost non-existent,
applying Einstein's postulate that posttulate that no matter, of any from,
can occupy the space occupied by other matter. This also coincides with the
precept in the Grimoire that no two auras can exist in the same space.
Target location to which the magicain shall teleport must be in Line of
Sight. The target number may be modified by distance traveled...(the
modifications present ed here are borrowed from the optional rules
regarding target number modification for LOS spells, Grimoire II, page 111)
Distance in meters........Target Modification
0-150........................None
151-300.....................+2
301-600.....................+4
601-1250....................+6
1251-2500..................+8
2501-5000..................+10
5001+.......................Target not visible
Maximum Range: Magic Attribute in kilometers.
Also, this spell is not entirely accurate in terms of targeting the
destination. This translates into game terms to scatter (borrowed from the
rules concering handgrenades, SRII, page 97). Once the mage has
successfully teleport, roll 2D6 for the illustration on page 97. However,
all is not lost for the hapless mage who MIGHT appear as far as 12 meters
away... After the scatter roll is made, the magician may reduce the
distance by 4 meters per success made.
Passengers:
The magician may, if he so choose, take passengers with him. The maximum
number that may accompany him equals his Magic Attribute divided by 3. The
target number increases by +2 per passenger.
Upon successful teleporting, passengers must resist a drain of
(meters/200)D using Willpower. This is due to the extremely unpleasent (one
might almost say mind pummeling) effects that teleportation has on the
nervous system.
Stipulations:
The spell cannot be cast on someone to teleport them away from the caster.
Passengers must be willing subjects, and be within Physical contact (either
directly or indirectly through a human chain)with the caster.
The caster cannot be forced to take someone with him. Just because someone
is in physical contact with him (e.g. he is grappling or being physically
bound by someone) and the magician decided to teleport, his assailant is
NOT transported with him.
The inertia folder of the magician is not negated by teleportation. For
example, a mage has fallen off a twenty-story building, and after
plummeting past the tenth story, he decides to teleported to a location six
feet off the ground. Once there, he will still impact the pavement with the
same force he had before he teleported, i.e. SPLAT, and the unfortunate
mage will most likely expire from a combination of deceleration trauma and
cement poisoning.
