'''Blinking''' is a form of short-range [[teleportation]].

==Overview==

Blink is an ability mastered by many [[Dark templar (StarCraft II)|dark templar]], including [[Vorazun]]<ref name="SC2:LotV:Templar'sReturn">[[Blizzard Entertainment]].

During the [[End War]], dark templar gained a greater understanding of the [[Void]], allowing them to use an ability called shadow fury, which allowed them to blink multiple times, attacking all surrounding enemies.<ref name="SC2-LotV_StoryWarCouncil">Blizzard Entertainment.

==Trivia==
Prior to ''StarCraft II'', the [[w:c:warcraft:Warden (Warcraft III)|warden]] hero of ''[[w:c:warcraft:Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne|Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne]]'' used a teleportation ability, also called "Blink".

The [http://overwatch.gamepedia.com/Shadow_Step shadow step] ability from [[Blizzard]]'s ''[[Overwatch]]'' setting bears resemblance to blink in both visuals and function.
