Homeward Prayer does one thing and does it better than any item: activate it and you are back at your nearest base. It will not work inside dungeons, which is exactly the restriction you would design if you did not want a teleport to trivialise the game.

Partner skill
Homeward Prayer — "When activated, teleports to the nearest base. Cannot be used inside dungeons or similar areas." A portable fast-travel point is worth more than most combat buffs over a long session. The dungeon lockout is the price.

The story of Dogen

"Striving for a state of selflessness, it meditates endlessly. After confronting its worldly desires, it eats a meal and reflects. It ate too much today."

It meditates endlessly toward selflessness, confronts its worldly desires, and then — the Paldeck reports — has a meal and reflects on it. The entry closes with three words that undo the whole practice: "It ate too much today." Enlightenment postponed, again.

Field notes
— from the log of a Pal keeper

The teleport pays for itself the first time you are overloaded and far from home.

Blocked in dungeons. Do not plan an escape route around it.

Its counter-stance move punishes anything that opens on it. Let them swing first.
