I want to make sure that I understand how the teleport ability of a Grey Wraith works. My questions are intermingled with my musings, below, and are in red.
The card says:
"Instead of taking a move action, Grey Wraith may pay 1 mana to teleport into an adjacent zone."
The rules (under Actions / Movement) say:
"During its Action Phase, a creature can move. If it moves, it must finish all movement before it takes any other action. A creature cannot take any other kind of action and then move.
"When a creature takes a move action it moves one zone into any adjacent zone....
"As a quick action, a creature can choose to move a second zone...."
The way I am reading this is that the teleport is the only movement that the creature can undertake on its own in the action phase if it chooses to do that instead of taking a move action. It seems, for example, that the Grey Wraith could not then move into a second zone (via a move action or a second self-teleport) because it would have to have the option to move in either case. I do not believe that option exists as a creature may not take a move action after doing anything else (presumably such as teleporting in lieu of a move action). Is this correct?
I also believe that the Grey Wraith could not take a move action to move one zone and then activate the teleport ability, since the second zone of movement that most creatures can take normally is not (from the way I read the rules) a separate move action from the one taken to enter the first adjacent zone (it is just a quick action). Correct?
Does the teleport leave the Grey Wraith a quick action (as if it had moved normally into the adjacent zone, if such were permissible), or does the creature use its entire action to teleport? I presume that it is able to make use of its quick attack after teleporting, but I just wanted to make sure.
My understanding of the differences between the Blue Gremlin's teleport ability and that of the Grey Wraith is that 1) The Blue Gremlin could teleport a second time with no additional expenditure of mana if it does not begin in or move into a zone where it is/becomes hindered, whereas the Grey Wraith can only move one zone and then must stop regardless (much like Climbing); and 2) The Blue Gremlin could be unable to teleport if it is restrained but the incorporeal nature of the Grey Wraith prevents this. Is this accurate?
