In the recent book street magic they specifically said that magic cannot resurect the dead or warp space and time making teleprtation impossible (at least not yet...). Now in the upcoming videogame they clearly do both. I suppose the resurection functions pretty much the same as the stabilization spell but there doesn't seem to be any way to explain teleport... anyone have any theories that might explain what might allow for such cannon defying spells?
