Remote Teleportation, or Translocation[1], is the power to move another person and objects from one place to another instantaneously without occupying the space in between.
Overview[]
This power works as an instantaneous way of summoning a specific person or people, and as a way of returning them to different locations. The users of this ability are also able to teleport other beings alongside them, without the need of physical contact, as an easier method.
Some users are able to use this ability to teleport objects without physical contact, even if they have only a rough idea of their location.
History[]
In "Touched by a Demon", while trapped in the finale of Heaven's Vice, Macy Vaughn and Harry Greenwood were remotely teleported through a black smoke along with Angelica to the Devil's lair.
When Mel Vera used her powers in public in "Surrender", nearly exposing magic, the Elders remotely teleported her and her sisters to their headquarters to reprimand them, before sending them to Vera Manor the same way.
In "Red Rain", after Macy took on the power of the Source, she used this ability to fade both her, her sisters and Harry back to Vera Manor. Macy later used this ability in "The Source Awakens" to relocate Mel, Harry and Maggie Vera to New York City and to fade Mel's bracelet and Maggie's staff back to them.
In "Chaos Theory", Mo used this ability to summon Abigael Jameson-Caine and Jordan Chase from the Tomb of Chaos in a burst of lightning. It was also used by Aladria to summon Francesca Jameson in the same manner.
In "The Storm Before the Calm", Francesca Jameson found Abigael and Macy attempting to steal the Blade of Clarity from her country home in Sussex, in order for Abigael to give Macy back her fire powers. When Macy refused to kill Abigael so Francesca would allow them use of the blade, Francesca decided she no longer had need to be there, and teleported Macy to a location far away from the house. She later teleported the blade into her hand in order to threaten Abigael.

Trivia[]
- As with normal teleportation, the effects of this ability differ with each user.
- In the original Charmed series, there were also several subsets to this power.
- Remote Fading was the method of this power used most often in the rebooted series, and just like with regular Fading, it has the most variations in color/effect. When used by Elder Silver, the Vera-Vaughn Charmed Ones were seemingly dropped into the new location or the location rapidly shifted around them. This is the only instance of Fading where there is no distinct fade or light effect around the person or object teleporting. In the case of Macy as the Source, her Remote Fading had a bright orange-gold light effect, while Francesca's power had a purple light and fade effect.
- The effect of this power shown by the Perfecti to move living beings in "Chaos Theory" is similar to Lightning Teleportation from the original series. Strangely, the Perfecti teleport themselves through Beaming, thus it is unclear why their Remote Teleportation wasn't of the same effect.
- In the reboot, this power was first demonstrated by a being from an alternate reality, the fictional TV show Heaven's Vice, before being used in the main reality.
- Witches with this power are called "translocation witches", as Macy used this to refer to Francesca.
- In the original, Remote Teleportation and Apportation were separate powers, but, in the reboot, it seems that they were combined into one power for the Perfecti and Francesca.
- In "The Rules of Engagement", Abigael used Zagan's Dagger to fake Parker's murder, resulting in a remote teleportation effect. It is unknown whether this is a property of this dagger or another magic trick, and it is also unclear how the dagger could influence Parker, who at that time had the immunity granted by the Sacred Grove apples, and force him to smoke to Abigael's prison.
