If I'm to ensure my safety, I have to perfect this whole teleportation deal. I know it's possible. But I just need to make sure it's not lethal. I like my head just where it is, thank you very much. Look at me, talking as though accidental decapitation would be the fault of anypony but myself.

Rocks. Rocks are simple. Rocks are lifeless. Rocks are also incredibly deadly. I killed a stallion today. An Earth pony, sitting just outside the castle. I don't know why he was here. I didn't even know his name. But he's dead now. Life's funny sometimes isn't it? One minute, you're trying to to break apart an object at it's most basic level to see if it's possible to reassemble that object at a separate location in its original form, the next you're accidentally killing a pony by replacing his brain with that self-same rock. On the bright side, his brain looked relatively unharmed... that is until it hit the floor. I should probably clean that up.

Well, I cleaned up the brain bits, and Orich promised to keep mum about the whole dead Earth pony incident. Turns out he was a drifter anyhow, so I won't have to feel too guilty. Now, if he had a family, I'd be wracked with guilt, but that's all beside the point. The point is, the spell works. Teleportation is very possible. I just have no idea how to determine where the spell will teleport me to. And that's a major issue.
