teleportation runes

[thimble]

I am confused about the runes, I found one on a barrel on my way to the castle. I thought it was a teleport rune but it had no label. Can I use this rune to teleport or do I need to do something to it first? I am in the militia, not yet a Paladin.

I think you just found a blank rune. Mages can use them to inscribe a spell on them. Teleport runes are clearly labeled as such e.g. 'Teleport to Castle' or 'Teleport to Monastery', and they can be used by anyone.

Thanks.

I have 2 teleportation runes now, to the castle and to the valley of the mines. I already had the second one but didn't recognize it because it didn't look like the blank one.
My problem now is I can't make them work. I click on it in the inventory and get key number, close the inventory and press the designated key but it doesn't do anything. What am I doing wrong?

Sorry, I did something wrong but finally got it right. Nice to have the runes.

You need to press and hold the key to cast a teleportation spell. It takes a few seconds to cast and only after that will Nameless actually teleport.

Also, make sure you have some mana. Teleporting requires only a small amount of mana but if Nameless starts casting the spell and almost immediately stops casting, he doesn't have enough mana points. If that's the case, just swallow a herb or a potion that restores your mana pool.

Edit: Ok, saw your edit. Glad you got it working. One more thing that's worth mentioning is that back in the days, even the best computer struggled to load the whole town of Khorinis at once, which it was forced to do if you teleported into the middle of the town. The game would occasionally crash when teleporting to 'Harbor City' so I learned to always save before teleporting there.
