Choose one creature or object you can see within range. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be teleported to a destination you select. If you select an object, it must be able to fit entirely inside a 10-foot cube. The object does not receive a saving throw, but if it being held by a creature, that creature may make a saving throw to prevent the object from being teleported.
If you have only seen the destination casually, viewed it once, or heard or read a description of the location, the target has advantage on the saving throw. If the chosen location does not exist, the target automatically succeeds on its saving throw.
Unless noted above, this spell is identical to teleport. Your familarity with the chosen location determines the successfulness of the spell's effects, and the GM must roll 1d100 to determine the result of the teleportation.
I like the flavor of this spell, but I feel it should be higher level. It's a more powerful form of banishment, with no duration. Can the destination be on another plane? I also think magical objects-- at least legendary items and artifacts-- should be immune.
Considering it says it functions identically to teleport unless otherwise stated, it can only teleport creatures or objects to another location in the same plane of existence.
Weirdly, however, this is a 6th level spell, while teleport is a 7th level spell. Fishy indeed.
Teleport gets up to 9 willing people. This spell gets 1 unwilling. They're completely different beasts.
This might be OP.
A low-wis monster is just pretty much guaranteed to be out of the fight here, and even a high-wis one can get unlucky. If your character has ever been anywhere crazy dangerous, like a narrow ledge over a volcano, etc, then that Hill Giant or Kraken is toast in one spell.
GM: "Suddenly, titanic tentacles erupt from the deeps as the Kraken rises up next to your ship, timbers groaning as it strains to pull the ship apart."
Player: "Baleful Teleport - The bridge across the mouth of Mount Wannahockaloogie, that giant volcano we fought those cultists on. We spent a night there, remember?"
GM *rolls Wis save* "... and he fails. You hear a confused roar far in the distance. A gout of smoke rises from the rim of the mountain. The roar cuts off with a titanic squeak."
I don't know about you but I don't want my Krakens dying with a confused squeak. Maybe this is a bit too swingy?
maybe a limitation about size would be good like nothing above "large"?
nonetheless it is a pretty amazing spell
There are a few spells of a similar nature. That's what leg res is for.
I would however make this 7th level.
