I think I could be talked into considering that everyone's got an Aethryte they just naturally are more attuned to and are taxed less for teleporting (or... returning?) to, but magical transport just throws so many wrenches in normal RP for me.
also, regarding return/teleport.

you cant return/teleport whilst in combat, or if you move. So one can infer that it takes great concentration, if you were coshed on the head, had to dodge something, other reason to do anything other than focus on the spell, then it doesn't get cast.

Weeeeeeell... That's kind of a recent development. Not to say that the change isn't reflected in lore, because it might be, but we used to be able to teleport in combat. But it was pretty darn abuseable (I did so many quests by running in, grabbing the quest item, then teleporting the hell out). So early on, they patched that out. However, the patch didn't seem to work, because despite saying otherwise in the notes, you could *still* teleport in combat. Then the patch after that they finally, truly disabled it.

oh I am well aware, but I always took it as such before the patch as well, you know, common sense and all that...
