Briefly surrounded by silvery mist, you teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space that you can see.
So it can be casted at will when playing a wizard... Damn.
what makes you think that? Its a second level spell. Unless you have unlimited spell slots thats no.
Is it possible to add more distance?
does that mean it can't take weapons along?
I assume they're referring to Spell Mastery at 18th level.
This forum thread addresses this pretty thoroughly:

Since the spell doesn't specify a way to add distance, no. While there are ways to affect the "range" of some spells (though not Misty Step that I'm aware of), the range of Misty Step is "Self", with the 30ft limitation specified in the text. There's not really any way to modify arbitrary numbers found in the effect of a spell.
This basically makes you Nightcrawler for a turn
no, it's instant and you teleport 30 feet. unless something moves faster than you can say a word, you're good
Could be a good way to dismember an enemy
Absolutely.
You can also teleport to a location that you don't actually have line of sight to, if you have some other way of seeing it (a familiar, scrying spell, etc.) and it's within range.
