Immediately after it teleports, each creature within 20 feet of the space it left must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw.

Rather, in their projects they explore and expand knowledge without expecting concrete answers. Whether students are extrapolating mathematical patterns in nature or engaging in speculative dives into topological formulas that bend reality, their studies blur the line between abstract numerical theory and natural…
