Levitate

Levitate is one of the more unusual spells available to a mage.

Spell Description
Mankind always dreamed of flying like the birds. While the Levitate spell cannot accomplish that feat, it at least allows the caster to hover several feet above the ground, at least as long as he does not attempt to move, which at once cancels this spell, resulting in a hard fall. Essentially, the spell is a substitute for when a ladder is not at hand.
