Message: <blockquote data-quote="WizardofOwls" data-source="post: 3654037" data-attributes="member: 53232">I intended today to write a spell that would summon a winged mount. I looked through the source books I have (which aren’t many) and 4 comparable spells:Mount (PHB) Conj/Sum  Sor/Wiz 1 Fly (PHB) Trans. Sor/Wiz 3 Travel 3Phantom Steed (PHB) Conj/Creat. Bard 3 Sor/Wiz 3Winged Mount (Comp. Div) Trans. Blackguard 4 Paladin 4Mount summons a land based mount. Fly gives the caster the ability to fly. Phantom Steed conjures a quasi-real horse-like creature. At 14th level the caster can make it fly. Winged Mount causes an existing mount to sprout wings.I thought with Phantom Steed and Winged Mount that there would be no need to create a new. Then I looked a little deeper. A Phantom Steed lasts for 1 hour/level. Not bad, but it only has average maneuverability, and since the caster cannot make it fly until 14th level, that makes it the equivalent of a 7th level spell. Winged Mount, which is 4th level only lasts 10 min/level! Not very practical for inter-shard travel! And in addition, it can only be used by Blackguards and paladins!            So maybe I do need to write a spell. I looked at schools. Two of the spells, are Transmutations and have terrible durations. Fly only lasts 1 min/level and Winged Mount only lasts 10 min/level.On the other hand, Phantom Steed, a Conjuration/Summoning, lasts1 hour/level, and Mount, a Conjuration/Creation, lasts two hours/level.So what I need is a Conjuration/Summoning that summons an aerial mount (pegasus / hippogriff / asperii) which lasts at least an hour per caster level, and can be used by Sorcerors and wizards.    Opinions? Advice?</blockquote>
