Question guys... I was looking through psychic abilities and was curious to why teleportation is listed as one. It never occurred to me as a psychic ability. Would anyone care to explain why? Thanks.

There's a simple way to figure this out, by looking up the definition of psychic we can look at it to determine whether teleportation fits.
Definition according to the Oxford dictionary is as follows:
1. Relating to or denoting faculties or phenomena that are apparently inexplicable by natural laws, especially involving telepathy or clairvoyance: And as of what we know and consider to be natural law, teleportation isn't explainable. (Doesn't stop tv etc from making up their own explanations of course.)
2. Relating to the soul or mind: And most users tend to think about where they want to be and some must even attempt to remember or recreate feelings they had whilst there.
So by definition it fits the term psychic which I imagine is why its in there. Hope this helps :P

Well Teleportation isn't exclusively a psychic ability as Magic Users and those with the right technology can also teleport.

Teleportation is what you call a standard superpower, that can be achieved through a wide variety of means including psionics, magic and science.
