Teleportation is a special ability that only alicorns and Sophie Foster have. While traveling at fast speeds, they can transport to a different place they are thinking of. In order to do this, they must have a clear depiction of the place in their mind, with every detail perfectly captured in order to properly teleport there.
Usually, at the time to teleport, Teleporters must gain extreme velocity, fall through the void, and then back out to their destination, but in some cases, the void can be accessed by running at a high rate of speed. Sophie describes the sensation and says she felt like a rubber band being stretched as thin as she could go before, she snapped back into form.
Teleporters cannot directly teleport through solid objects. The act of entering the void is described as ripping a crack into the sky and falling through it. It is also mentioned for thunder to boom when teleporting. Teleporters can bring several people with them when teleporting, if they are holding hands (or, in Silveny's case, riding on her back).
Involvement[]
In the book series, Sophie finds out that she can teleport because the Black Swan modeled her DNA off of that of an alicorn. It is not technically an ability but a result of Sophie's alicorn-inspired DNA. It is said by Mr. Forkle that he thinks Sophie has brown eyes instead of the standard blue because of her alicorn DNA. Luna and Wynn use teleportation to get into the Gorgodon's cage. Keefe Sencen guessed that younger alicorns first start practicing the falling method of teleporting by running at a high speed. Alicorns also tend to use teleporting to escape from enemies by falling from the sky.
Sophie often teleports places, especially if she's going somewhere without permission from adults in her life. Sandor especially dislikes this, and even when she does bring him with her, he does not like the process of teleporting at all.
