Wizard teleport scrolls - Weavel - 05-26-2013
If you open a teleport scroll as a wizard, even if you drop it, you can still warp wherever you need to.
Worse still you can still warp when stripped of your wizard clothing, and potentially even in death.

This is just a thing that happens because of the way the teleport spell works. The spell just opens a window that lets you select a location, as soon as you click "ok" you go there. The spell's only actual effect is opening that window to begin with.
Think of it this way if you need some RP reason: you already "cast" the spell, you just haven't said the name of where you want to go yet.

That'd be sort-of fine, except that it works even without your robes on and even when entirely beyond any ability to cast spells.
Hell even a random crew member who dresses in the robes can use the scroll.

That's an entirely different issue, though. And, if you've already cast the spell, your state of nakedness or not doesn't matter. As long as you had the robes on when you opened the box, the important part of the spell was cast when you were fully clothed. You're just completing the spell after somebody's toolboxed your head in and stripped you naked. That's how magic works.

Look instead of justifying it with "It's magic" how about look at how shit it is for anyone fighting against it
It's a free teleport-away spell, which is useable despite other similar spells taking up a slot AND needing full robes, it's entirely broken
This is a bug outright and it's shit

All context windows without an individual fix work like this. PDA's can be used when they're on your belt if you open the menu and stick it there, you used to be able to glitch the oven and get infinite food out of the oven by doing something like this, etc etc.

Actually, if you buy the teleport spell, that spell can be cast exactly like the scroll, because they're basically the same thing! So there's precedent!
Magic!!!!

Wizards are such flimsy nerds, having a second chance can't be anything but a good thing.

This is bad.

If the wizard befriends a gentisist, the non-wizard can give himself a SE of the wizard and they are able to use the spell book and everything.

Obviously a feature. Everyone knows that wizardry is all in the GENES and not in what you learn. That is why wizard robes work. The subtle illusion that you, YES, you, can be a wizard if you wear the right clothes and use the right scrolls unlocks your minds potential and makes the wizard in us all able to do these normally un-doable things.

The spell book is still limited to 4 charges you'd be dumb to spread that around.
