So, for instance, if you're currently 10 feet up in the air and have a speed of 30, you could move down 10 feet, walk 10 feet horizontally, then move up 10 feet.If you're not within easy reach of the ground or another surface to push against, you can only move up/down by 20 feet as part of your movement.Things the spell doesn't specify: Is the target effectively locked in place beyond voluntary movement, or would a strong wind propel them around? Could a flying creature carry them off? I'd tend toward them being affected by external forces, but still having normal inertia, so that for instance a strong wind would move them, but they wouldn't float off on a light breeze like a leaf.If you need to move horizontally, get creative. Make a lasso and snag a nearby branch or outcrop to haul yourself towards. Throw something suitably heavy in one direction so that the reaction will send you in the opposite direction. If you have a flying familiar, ask them to give you a tow.Note that if you really need to move all the way down, you can simply cease concentrating on the spell (no action required), and will then float gently to the ground regardless of your current altitude.</blockquote>
