Thoughts on this? Personally I think that if there was so much pushback for flight being in Arcane Odyssey because it would defeat the point of boats, it should have at least been turned into a lost spell instead of a rare spell.
I mean boats are pretty much useless against wind, ice, and snow magic when moving from a to b. Flight magic wouldnt make much difference anyways…
doesnt really seem like much of an issue to me, especially due to the fact that boats have so many integral features and useful mechanics tied to it besides the aspect of travelling

snow?
Wasn’t it mentioned that it would have a really long cooldown?
Also if you use flight to get around rather than boats you wouldn’t be able to do a lot of things like carrying sealed chests and cargo, crossing larger distances, safely fight sea monsters, bring others with you, and whatever else you can use boats for.

personally looking forward to it, leap spells can only take you so far and it’s really annoying when I get attacked while exploring something with my agility set equipped
nah i heard ANY damage cancels charging and it takes 10 seconds to charge up
plus i heard that even other players’ mouse cursors moving over your character cancels charging
will other classes have a similar alternative to this?
if only mage will have this then they will have a direct advantage over every other class
Spirit will have it too, don’t know about strength and weapons tho
doesnt it freeze water?
I havent used snow magic for a long time so I forgot 
It doesn’t. Ice and Magma(obsidian) do; only magics that create platforms are those two- but I’m pretty sure you can no longer recharge jumps on those platforms.
cant use it on sea
strength users using willpower to propel themselves and fly like superman
Seems more like it means when going into the water, not above it

Nope, boats are supreme for the sea however flight could cover large distances between an island. Basically you use a boat to sail and flight on an island or in sky islands. The reason flight is added now is because they’re starting to add large islands and throughout the story they’ll get larger which makes flight more useful. Although I imagine boats are still going to be the supreme transport due to fact that flight would be very finnicky with the actual charging etc.
That’s odd, I thought flight was going to be a special skill learned in Skyhall like dodge reflex.
Magma magic???
Sorry I forgot
Yeah flight would be useful for darksea and land transport, boats are just so useful.
May God forgive you, child, because I never will
