There is a small chance that after traveling the bard will get dizzy or become thirsty. It'll take a minute or so before these effects will appear after landing.

			Thirst will prevent singing any bard spell songs (and prevents renewing as well). Thirst must be remedied by drinking something - alcohol is recommended, but water will also work.

			Dizziness will incur a sequence of RT inducing effects which lasts up to a minute, and may make you fall down. You may or may not be able to sneak e.g. a Song of Peace in between bouts of dizziness; do not run into a dangerous area immediately after landing. Dizziness will fade on its own.

	Training in bard spell songs will decrease the likelihood of suffering these ill-effects. This likelihood can be expressed as follows: [1 / (3 + Each SpellSong over 20)]		Training in bard spell songs will decrease the likelihood of suffering these ill-effects.

	The rift is a bit special: If you try to sing Traveler's Song in the rift, you will end up at the Birthing Sands, but this counts as a cross-realm teleport, so you can get navved, and the navigation guild will confiscate your gold and throw you out into plane 5.

	The sands are anchorable, but is a bit of a special place: You cannot '''EVOKE''' to the sands. However, the sands are in the same realm as pinefar, so you can '''SING''' Traveler's Song inside the pinefar region (anywhere north of climbing out of the nightmare gorge), and this will teleport you randomly to either the Nine of Cups (the bar of the Pinefar post), or the sands. This works both ways: If you walk away from the sands itself, you can sing Traveler's Song, and randomly you will taken back to the sands, or to the Nine of Cups. You can '''EVOKE''' out of the sands too. Hence, it is wise to set an anchor in the Thirsty Penguin or some other bar in Icemule Trace itself: In the pinefar zone you can '''SING''' to teleport to the sands or pinefar post, and '''EVOKE''' to get back to icemule.

			You can't '''EVOKE''' out of the rift. Singing out of the rift is possible and always takes you back to the sands, but this does count as a cross-realm teleport; you can be navved, and you should wear a gold ring. If you do get navved, the navigator guild will toss you out, chrono-locked (you can't teleport again or they will guaranteed catch you), onto plane 5. Sheer-Fear inducing undead roam plane 5, so this might be hazardous to your health.

			If you do not have a local anchor present in your current realm, then '''SING''' (or '''CAST''') will take you to a random inn in your realm.

			If you do have an anchor in the realm, you will end up at that inn.

			If you '''EVOKE''' Traveler's Song, and you have an anchor that is in the same teleport zone, you will go to your anchor, even if it is not in the same realm. For example, if you set an anchor in solhaven, and you EVOKE whilst at the Birthing Sands at the top of Mount Aenatumgana all the way in the very north of the continent, you will travel straight to the solhaven bar.

	By harnessing elemental forces, a [[Bard]] singing the '''Traveler's Song''' can travel back to the comforting safety of an inn. However, on a failure, the bard and the bard's group is transported to a dangerous local area. A failure will also result in a loss of [[mana]] and injuries upon arrival. By playing an [[Instrument learning\|instrument]] a bard can reduce the chance of a negative outcome. Traveler's Song will work anywhere a gold ring is usable.
