ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

So I noticed that my teleport talent (Slime Roots) only teleports me backwards in the Charred Scar. I suppose that is intentional, with the timer and all.
However, Oozewalk does not teleport backwards. It allowed me to reach the end of the Scar with 129 turns left on the counter. I was even able to blast away a few talents at the two wizards, before they stepped into the portal.

Is this intentional, or should oozewalk teleport backwards too, and this post be moved to bug reports?

EDIT: Now I wonder what would have happened if I had activated the orb on the portal before the wizards went through

Not all movement talents have to go backwards in the Charred Scar. Other skills such as Rush and Shadowstep can be used to speed up progress as well.

Or simply movement infusions...
