Genius, mad scientist or simple unicorn who caught a lucky break? Starswirl's journal shall reveal all.
The concept of instantaneous teleportation, I have come to realize, is completely impossible. in order for you to disappear in one place and appear at the exact same moment you disappeared in another location would require that there be an extra copy of you at the desired location. Because otherwise it's just not possible. And therein lies the mistake made by so many of the sorcerers preceding me; they tried to make it instantaneous and ended up as stains on the floor. Or wall. Or in the mouth of an unsuspecting and permanently scarred Earth pony foal. But what if rather than an instant process, we try to make it only nearly instant. The difference in speed of transport would be negligible at worst and work just as well without severing the extremities of the caster.
I believe I've managed to lay the whole process out on paper, but of course it's all still theoretical. And honestly, I don't know if I'll be able to put whatever object I'm teleporting back together, as the process involves being torn apart circle by circle, moved across a measured distance at speeds exceeding the fastest Pegasi couriers, and being reconstructed at the desired location. I'm also completely unaware of whether or not that whole ordeal is capable of being survived, but that's what testing is for, isn't it?

O god, the poor earth pony colt!
A possibly pertinent remark from Feynman.
Wait. Is this the star trek teleportation which is really just cloning? Killing the original you and creating a copy using materials at the desired location? In which case Starswirl is dead upon first successful attempt anyway?
Or is this like teraporting from Schlock Mercenary with millions of tiny wormholes tearing an individual apart and reconstructing them with their original material components at the desired location?
How is consciousness transferred? Is it? Is their any continuation at all? Does it stop and start? Is it star trek cloning only recycling the previous materials but still killing the original 'person' nonetheless? Or is memory personality ''soul'' quantifiable and replicable by simply reconstructing a body and mind exactly the same way and letting the organic 'wetware' generate th epersonality procedurally in which case wouldn't there be a slow 'boot phase' everyone undergoes after every teleportation with minor potential of possibly MASSIVE brain damage or even death?
Teleportation sounds like fun!
5235546 In Star Trek they compress and store the atoms in a pattern buffer so that you can physically reform in an instant. I would say the ponies method of transportation is the same as Q's method or the Asguaard in Stargate. Let's see, how did they explain that in the Star Trek movie re-boot.......
