{{Teleportation}} can be achieved though many ways, as the TeleportationTropes show. Sometimes it's magic, other times, it's science, but for this trope, it's caused by being one of the PsychicPowers.

By being a psychic power, it must be used by a thinking being, and is powered by mental energy, unlike general {{Teleportation}} which has no requirement for specificity on power source or any quality of its users.

It also shares a prefix with other psychic powers like telekinesis, a.k.a MindOverMatter, and {{telepathy}}, which might be why some creators make teleportation a psychic power.

Compare MentalSpaceTravel and MentalTimeTravel, in which a character's mind travels without the body, though possibly through technological instead of psychic means.

ThoughtControlledPower-types are similar to this, but unless they're implied to be using some sort of "psychic energy" or, connected to more traditional PsychicPowers like telekinesis and telepathy, it doesn't count as this.

This ability is later upgraded to teleporting to anywhere Lanfeust uses his Magohamoth powers, but he won't know where he's going (and once blindly teleported into the polar tundra, immediately coming back half-frozen demanding warm clothes).
