But that covers the case of teleporting one guy into another or
teleporting something into someone, not the case of teleporing someone you
just touched. This is covered by the Teleport Foe trick which, IIRC,
doesn't require anything beyond a hit in HtH.

Well the blaster does that much (or more) and gets up to 6 shots, at
range. I don't know if it is massive damage or not. That would make it
kinda powerful, but as someone pointed out if you use the # of hits system
for most bad guys massive damage does nothing, right?
