Question Teleport

In the book I am writing, I want the word teleport to be translated into Spanish. That will be the "spell" to teleport, with the location after it.

Is there a Spanish translation for teleport?

I didn't understand the last sentence you wrote, but if you're looking for the Spanish word for to teleport (the verb describing the act of teleportation), it is teletransportar. If a person is using the teleportation device, there's a reflexive form: teletransportarse

Yes, I agree with Rusty, Do you can use the word Teleport instead of Teleportation?, I don't know you want to use, but I believe you should to be more specific in your questions or doubt.

I meant to say that when you say the word and the location you get teleported. A spell. No one is using a device. It's kind of hard to explain.

spell: hechizo, conjuro
Teleport: teletransportar
"Quincy casted a teleport spell to Daisy"
"Quincy le echó un hechizo teletransportador a Daisy"
Some wizards do use "Portal" spells:
The wizard summoned a dimensional portal.
"El mago convocó un portal dimensional"
I'm a huge D&D fan......

I guess I will use teletransportar. So in my story, in order to teleport to say, to the Star Drink Cave, you have to say teletransportar-Star Drink Cave.
what is D & D?

Don't forget to conjugate the verb teletransportar, and it needs the preposition a.

I won't use the word Telestransportar, I will use the word appear or move.
