  Only magery mastery pets teleport.

  And always when it's the worst possible time to.

  What pet type?  The only pets that can get just magery, already have it.

  I think @Whitewolf is asking is Magery Mastery worth the 1500 points and is it worth putting Magery on a pet and hen adding Mastery

  There are many pet types that come with Magery for free.  There are 0 pet types that you can add Magery to.  The only thing we can add is magery mastery.  
  
  I can not think of any pet type that I would put 1501 points on to activate Magery Mastery.
  
  Current spawning 2 slot Nightmare has magery and for 1 point it can be changed to Magery Mastery.

  lol sorry for not clarifying my question i guess, will they cast the same spells? like flamestrike, mindbast...etc? will their spells do more damage with mage mastery vs reg magery.

  Necromagery pets will Teleport too. My Necromagery+Poison Breath Dread Spider LOVES to Teleport to enemies. Normal Magery pets will also cast Teleport when told to "Come" when they can't pathfind to you normally, but it will fail (they'll cast the spell, but stay in the same spot).

  Magery Mastery pets have additional access to Death Ray, Mind Blast, Mana Vampire, Magic Reflection, Arch Cure, and combat Teleport, which normal Magery pets don't. However, several of their spells are either bugged, or sub-optimal. The hardest hitting spell a MM pet has, is Mind Blast, especially from a Serpentine Dragon (1,000+ INT). I've seen a MM Serpentine Dragon's Mind Blast hit a GD for 150+, and that was without the GD being discorded.
  

  
  

  Death Ray is sub-optimal because A) it's a DPS loss due to the pet no longer melee swinging during the channel, and B ) the Death Ray channel get's interrupted when the pet takes any damage, therefore wasting the Mana used to initiate the Death Ray (MM pets will oftentimes initiate Death Ray while in melee range, just to immediately be hit and interrupted).

  MM pets will cast Mana Vampire when low on Mana, but oftentimes the foe's Resist skill is too high for the pet to steal any Mana back (even with 120 Eval, the victim must have lower than 80 Resist skill for Mana Vampire to be effective), so Mana Vampire becomes a waste of 40 Mana then.

  MM pets will cast Bless on their opponent rather than themself. When poisoned, MM pets will also cast Arch Cure on their opponent, which will cure both themself and their opponent (if the opponent is poisoned as well).
