Spell

Defense:
Health save negates

Teleport the target.
(You may target yourself).

If the target is unwilling, it gets a DC 13 health save to avoid being teleported.
If an unwilling target would be teleported into a mortal hazard, it has advantage on this save.
If the target is an object worn or carried by a creature that is unwilling to have it warped, that creature makes the save to prevent the object from being warped.

Disorientation:
Being teleported is disorienting if you are unprepared for it, and the direction a teleportation attack will come from is unpredictable.
After being teleported, an unwilling target is off guard (rolls to hit it have advantage) until the start of its turn.
All enemies are off guard against an action a creature readies for when it is teleported (it gets advantage on rolls to hit with that readied action).

There must be enough space for the target at their destination. If there is not, it will be teleported to the nearest available space instead.
You cannot teleport the target inside of a wall or other occupied space.
Unwilling targets cannot be teleported into midair.
There does not have to be a way of getting to the destination, and you do not need to see it.

Teleportation does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
Forcibly moving or teleporting another creature never provokes attacks of opportunity (even with Halt and Rift Strike).
Teleporting breaks grabs and frees you from restraints (such as entangling vines, webs, being swallowed, mundane manacles, or being chained up in a straight jacket and submerged in a tank full of piranhas).

Subtle:
Casting this spell while hidden does not cause you to become unhidden.

Suggested Backfire: The target teleports to a location of the Headmaster’s choice, or has a teleportation mishap such as its gear or only part of it teleporting.

Extra Credit
Swap
Effort: 5

When you cast Warp, you may swap the positions of two targets within 30 ft. of each other that you can see by teleporting them simultaneously, instead of teleporting one target.
If you use fast warp, neither target can be an enemy.
Safe House
Effort: 40
Requires: Lost
You may spellburn 1 to cast a 10 minute ritual, to place an enchantment on yourself or an adjacent ally which lasts until the target completes a long rest, and will break and teleport them back to the ritual site when they are either bloodied or defeated.
