Do you really mean phases and not turns? (Just checking to make sure...)

At +12D? Ouch! I have a feeling this spell will mainly be used to jump
somewhere and jump back instantly because the caster passes out from
drain...

Do you realize that if you want to teleport a living creature, it's almost
impossible to teleport something larger than, say, a medium-sized dog, and
even those would be very difficult? Forget trying to teleport a mundane
human -- say 70 kg -- you're rolling against a TN of 76! Nobody will roll
that even with a very large ritual group and too much Karma Pool...

Oh, you mean the multiplier equals the object resistance rating -2. At
first I thought you wanted the TN to be equal to the ORR.
