Teleportation is the movement of an object or elementary particles from one place to another, for example going anywhere in the world, the universe, parallel planes, and time loops, even somewhere outside of time and space, more or less instantaneously, without traveling through space. Several magical beings possess this power.
Notable Types
Cole, a demon, shimmers while Leo, a whitelighter, orbs.
There are several ways to teleport and special beings have their own unique way of teleporting that could be counted as a combination of these base ways to teleport.

Combinations
Sometimes magical beings teleport by using a combination of teleportation powers. This is probably due the various mixing of species and power stealing over the centuries, creating new species of demons and new powers.

Used by The Guardian of the Urn, Yama and The Necromancer.
- Glisten-Fading, a combination of Glistening and Fading.
Used by Kieran Demons.
- Shimmer-Fading, a combination of Shimmering and Fading.
- Smoke-Whirling, a combination of Smoking and Whirling.
Notes and Trivia
- During teleportation, beings can speak. The sound of their voices arrive before they actual teleport in the place.
- It's interesting to note that all of the Charmed Ones have used at least two forms of teleportation. Paige is the only Charmed One born with a teleportation power.
- Prue used Blinking when she became a warlock. When she switched powers with the Darklighter Alec she also had the power of Black Orbing but she didn't use it.
- Phoebe used Blinking as a warlock, Flaming when she was pregnant with The Source's Heir, Whirling as the Goddess of Love, Smoke-Whirling as a Genie, Wisping as a ghost and Shimmering when she possessed demonic powers from the game masters. When she and Paige swapped bodies in Enter the Demon, Phoebe had the power to orb but she didn't use it.
- Paige used Orbing (naturally), Fading and Water Teleportation as a Nymph, Lightning Teleportation as the Goddess of War and Wisping as a ghost.
- Piper used Orbing (when she switched powers with Leo and when Wyatt switched her powers with Leo's), Blinking as a warlock, Whirling as the Goddess of Earth, Smoking as a Fury and Dark Wisping as the Angel of Death.
- Orbing and Flaming are the only teleportation powers to have been undergoing major changes during the series. Orbing stayed relatively the same through to season 3, then kept changing until the end, Paige's most noticeably.
- It has been stated that beings can practice to travel faster. Julie, Cole's personal assistant said she could shimmer thirty miles in two seconds.
- Orbing is the most used type of teleportation, due to Leo (until he became Mortal) and Paige being able to orb. Shimmering is the second most used.
- Ash Teleportation, Dusting, Glistening, Beaming, Sand Teleportation, Shredding and Spiralization are the only types of teleportation not used by one of the Charmed Ones. As a Nymph, Paige possessed Water Teleportation but she was never seen using it.
- Paige was able to avoid the effects of Cole's Reality Warping power via orbing, due to teleportation taking the user through the Neutral Plane. Paige orbed as the effects took place and so was unaffected by the spell, as she was on a different plane. (Centennial Charmed)
- Smoke-Fading is the first type of teleportation seen onscreen.
- Every teleportation power has its own speed, but the user can use it faster or slower at will.
- Users can be attacked or physically caught during mid-teleportation, and it is seemingly a matter of timing. (Valhalley of the Dolls, Part 2 and Siren Song)
- According to Phoebe, a person doesn't need to know a person's location to find them using teleportation, they only have to think of that person when using their power. (Bride and Gloom)
