Flight Words
Source
Ultimate Magic pg. 177
These words allow those who know them to soar through the heavens—slowing falls with weaker wordspells, but gaining true flight with the greatest one.
Glide (Flight)
School
transmutation;
Level
alchemist 1, bard 1, magus 1, sorcerer/wizard 1, summoner 1, witch 1
Duration

Target Restrictions
selected
The target of a wordspell with this effect word falls at a rate of 20 feet per round, and for every 5 feet fallen in this way, can move horizontally 20 feet, up to a maximum of 80 feet per round. Regardless of the circumstances, the target can never gain elevation with this effect, and the wordspell with this effect word immediately ends the next time the target lands on a solid surface. If the spell ends while the subject is still gliding, the subject falls as normal.

The target of a wordspell with this effect word can float in the air, rising or falling at a rate of 30 feet per round as a move action.
