-	This spell allows one creature touched (up to giant sized) to walk on air. The creature can ascend as if walking up a hill. The speed depends on the angle of ascent with straight up at its slowest of 1/8 movement rate. As long as the spell is in effect, the creature cannot fall and can descend similarly with straight down at the speed of a charge. Descent speed can continue to be controlled easily while the spell is active with no harm to the creature.
