Target can fly at their movement speed.
You can end this spell as a fast action, but mind the drop.
While flying, the target is concealed from tremorsense.

At high levels of mastery this spell also gives the target the ability to float, which makes it easier to remain aloft.

If the target is prone while flying, it is immobilized, unless it has the ability to float.
If the target is immobilized, it begins to fall, unless it has the ability to float.
If the target can fly, it may spend an action while falling to end the prone condition (and accompanying immobilization and falling), if it is not also immobilized for another reason.
If the target can float, if it is immobilized, it remains aloft.

Falling:
A creature falls up to 500 ft. per round, at the end of its turn.
At the end of a fall of 10 ft. or more, a creature takes 1 blunt damage for every foot that it fell, up to a limit of 500 damage.
A creature which takes 100 or more damage from a fall may instantly die at the Headmaster’s discretion.
A soft landing area or other mitigating factors may reduce this damage.

Suggested Backfire: Target becomes ten times as dense for the duration, and you cannot dismiss this effect. Each time they try to move, they must pass a DC 15 test of Strength to move at half speed, and if they fail they are immobilized for the rest of that turn.

If the target is immobilized, or they are knocked prone, they begin falling.
Stability 15 Economy Class Flight Target can fly, without keeping their arms out.
