Teleport Block

Tele Block is a spell in RuneScape that requires a Magic level of 85 and can only be cast on another player on a PvP world. If successful, it will prevent that player from using teleportation for 5 minutes. It is very useful in player killing. Unlike most spells though, tele-block does not take effect the instant the caster casts it. The victim will still able to teleport until the spell has finished its animation. However, this is too fast for most players to react in time.

If players are tele-blocked, teleportation spells on their spell list will be black, as though they do not have the required level. The animation for teleblock is very small, spins quickly, and is dark purple so it is hard to see it in many places. When players are tele-blocked, many often do not realise, unless they attempt to teleport.

The spell was temporarily replaced on 10 December 2008 by Bounty Locate, but has been reinstituted with the release of PvP world as of 15 October 2008. Wandering ghosts in the wilderness called revenants have the ability to tele-block.

Teleblocks can be only countered by wearing a Forinthry bracelet and only if it is cast by a revenant. If a player is under a teleblock and is wearing the bracelet, he/she can still teleport despite the block, though it uses up one of the bracelet's charges (up to 5 per bracelet).
