The ramag creates and steps into a small portal and out of an identical portal in a space it can see within 60 feet of it. If a creature is in the destination space, the creature must make a DC 13 Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, the ramag trades spaces with the creature. On a success, the ramag fails to teleport. Whatever the result, the portal disappears.
