Phase is completely random.  Right clicking in an general area (while
it might seem like you have more control), has no effect.  teleport on
the otehr hand is completely guided, allowing you to teleport to any
clear spot you can point to with the mouse.  They are both important
spells, especially later on in the game when you can use teleport to
bypass particularly nasty areas and attack from a different and more
favorable area.  Phase is a great "break in case of emergency" spell,
particularly effective against pkillers using an edited blade (a la
the trainer).  As for not being able to get to the stairs, that is
unusual, but I supose with their random generator is it possible, just
not plausible.
