It's theoretically possible. And yes, the skill and concentration would have to be, as you put it, epic. The process would be somewhat different from
APing, though.
Essentially, matter is made of molecules, molecules are made of atoms, and atoms are made of particles, which basically boil down to different flavors
of energy vibrating in certain ways, more or less. The practitioner wishing to teleport would need to basically make all of the particles in all of
the atoms of their body vibrate in a certain way, all at once, in concert with whatever plane he was going to use to travel along (preferably NOT the
astral), move the abstract energy/matter of his physical body along that plane to wherever he was going, then bring the vibration down and reassemble
himself in the desired location. That's a very simplified version of what I figured out on the long nights I've spent by myself thinking about that
kinda thing.
Obviously, there is a whole frig of things that could go wrong doing that. Any lapse in concentration or any other mishap anywhere along the process
would result in mangling or death, or mangling and then death, kind of along the lines of a transporter malfunction. Either the bits are never
reassembled, or worse, they're reassembled incorrectly and you wind up with your guts on the outside and die miserably looking at your own spleen.
I would figure maybe one in every few hundred thousand people born even has the capacity to get to the point that they could do that, and one in every
hundred thousand of those actually reach that potential. In a world of seven billion humans, that's a fair lot who could probably do it, but you'd
never hear about them probably. I can only imagine that they would keep that kind of ability super secret. Witches get burned and freaks get dissected
in this world, ya herd?
