I was about to agree with the "remove the damage from Teleport" suggestion, but I remembered that probably exists for a very good reason - to not let you teleport neutral NPC's like guards and merchants away from locations they're watching, thus letting you exploit things.

Vault isn't a teleport spell, I think you mean Cloak and Dagger and Tactical Retreat. So all right, there are alternatives... but as those are self-teleports, not Teleport Other, which would mean more people would need to invest into self-teleport skills.

All I'm saying is that I'd think really long and hard about all the consequences of cutting the range of Teleport.
