(TFT) Slippery Demons

Cas,
    Yes, demons teleport.  You are correct.  It says so in ITL page 54.  I 
just brought up frictionless demons to try and slide out of Stan?s question. 
 I play demons that way, and I play with 2D damage boomerangs.  An 
interesting aside about the demons though. . .
    The demons MA isn?t given because they Teleport at no strength cost.  I 
find it interesting that a Teleport spell is enacted during movement.  This 
is the only case of a spell going off during movement that I know of.  Does 
this mean that Demons move through magic like a substance.  It would go a 
short way in explaining why demons don?t use magic ?at least not in any form 
that we know of? (ITL).
    By doing a Teleport instead of moving normaly the demons would be 
excluded from a few maneuvers.  There would be no attempt HTH for them as 
the rule says they must  ?move onto? target, and one cannot teleport into an 
occupied hex.   A greater demon of 3-Hex size couldn?t force anyone back, as 
they also have to ?move onto? them.  Lastly they may not be able to follow 
up a forced retreat.
    I toyed with a new form of demons, called devils, that teleport during 
the renew spells phase not the movement phase, and still get to move.  They 
can charge attack.  I don?t think teleport has the speed required.  It was 
here that I started toying with infinite MA and frictionless demons.
