Flight

Flight is the magical ability to defy gravity and propel oneself through the air at great heights and speeds. Although many witches are capable of flight with the aid of a broomstick, users of this ability do not require a broomstick and can fly through sheer will.

Description
Witches with the ability to fly are able to lift themselves off the ground through sheer acts of will by rising one or both of their hands. Once airborne, the witch can propel themself through the air at tremendous speeds and in any direction they choose.

Besides transportation, the power of flight is especially useful when evading attacks or escaping capture. It is possible for a witch to carry others while flying, although this is usually limited to the strength of the individual flyer.

This is quite a rare ability and, as such, takes time to learn as the witch must first learn how to maintain balance and navigate while floating. Some flyers may find difficulty in landing and will likely crash land a few times before they are able to land on their feet. However, witches who naturally develop and use the power of levitation may not require training if their power evolves into full-on flight.
