Limitations and restrictions

 * If a user shadow steps while holding an item, the user will automatically drop the item before shadow stepping.
 * Users may not shadow step to locations that they cannot normally walk to. For example, users may not shadow step past closed gates to enemies. This differs from regular teleportation.
 * The maximum distance coverable by a shadow step is the radius of the radar. This is only relevant for skills such as Recall or Shadow of Haste for which the end point of the shadow step can be further than spell-casting range. You will move this maximum amount even if out of range, but may not make it all the way to the destination.
