They could have also done something like having only being able to teleport to and from Majula.

Here's how it would work. You could teleport back to Majula at any point from any bonfire, but doing so sets up the bonfire you teleported from as the "return point". Meaning you could go from Majula back to the bonfire you just came from, but not to a different one without walking to it.

Example: I light the third bonfire in Forest of Fallen Giants. I use it to teleport back to Majula. Now I walk from Majula to Heide's Tower, light the bonfire there, and teleport back to Majula. I can teleport from Majula to the first bonfire in Heide's, but NOT to any other bonfire. If I want to teleport back to the third bonfire in FoFG, I have to run back to it and use it again.
