I also thought you could sometimes buy one in Skullport...but might be mistaken. I have used one on accossaion, but try to only use it when a) I am trying to get through an area I have currently been through but do not want to have to fight my way through or b) if I am just getting crushed continuously with no chance of escape.
I think if a low level character uses one one to bypass levels 4-9 to get a stone on 10 and then bypasses 11 and sneaks into the Wizard's area on 12 to get a stone it is a bit cheesy, but I am not sure why anyone would want to do that as getting there is the real fun. That said, who I am to judge anyone for their actions? :~) Of course if you are using on to bypass levels you have already gone through then there is no real difference between doing this and using the teleporters...
