Accept Aid allows [[Magic]] spells such as Tele-other, [[Cure Group]] (from the [[Lunar Spells|Lunar spellbook]]) and any other group spells to work on the player. If this is turned off, the spells will not work for the particular player who has Accept Aid turned off.

===Tele-other===
However, with Accept Aid on, players may be distracted by Tele-other attempts during awkward times, such as during a difficult combat. Therefore, it is safer to leave Accept Aid off unless the player is with trusted friends. Also, Tele-other spells can be used for [[luring]], which is a reportable action.

[[Tele-other]] and [[Tele group]] are a type of spell that allows players to receive prompts to be teleported to a certain location with the option to accept or deny the proposal. Enabling this setting allows players to receive these prompts. It is not recommended to have this setting enabled at all times and instead only be allowed to Friends & Clan or just remain disabled altogether. Some players may pester others with this spell by causing the prompt to pop up which can become bothersome when performing certain skilling or combat tasks that require the player's attention.
