294 Flying Stick

The witch took the staff in her hand and gasped as she extended her senses to detect the spells that were placed on it.

 

"Go on. You can't tell how well it flies until you're up in the air." Wolfe encouraged her.

 

The witch stepped over the staff and activated just the flight Array, which sent her rocketing into the air with a shrill whistle of displaced air. The new array took less than a third of what the old air spell did, so the same amount of magic moved her nearly twice as fast.

 

Wolfe could hear her swearing at him as she nearly hit a swinging bridge and had to barrel roll around it, then recovered to a proper flight attitude and circled the village.

 

After a few minutes, she activated [Mirage], and the shimmer of air around her hid her from sight as she moved through the sky.
