Effect

The spell functions like Fly, but the caster moves at 40 feet with average manoeuvrability. That speed falls to 30 feet while wearing medium or heavy armour or carrying a medium or heavy load.

Long-Distance Travel

While using this spell for overland movement, the caster can hustle without taking nonlethal damage from the hustle itself. Forced marches still require Constitution checks.

At a speed of 40 feet, the legacy travel calculation is 64 miles in eight hours. At 30 feet, it is 48 miles.

Using Overland Flight

The spell excels when terrain is the obstacle: broken mountains, marshes, forests and roadless country matter far less when the caster can remain aloft for hours.
