      Pre teleport hand position is A.

      Post teleport foot position is B.

      The distance between A and B is 7 inches.

      “You” teleport 7 inches, but if “you” is a relative concept thats so far undefined (are your clothes “you”? The contents of your stomach? The air in your lungs? What chemicals dissolved in your blood count as “you”?), and A and B are both “you,” technically youve teleported 7 inches while sort of fudging the actual distance.

      As with all magic, the interpretation of the rules is more important than the rules themselves.
