This is a huge benefit.6th: 3 to 6 free flight spells is a lot of flight.  This is a huge benefit - especially as it does not require concentration to achieve.  Flight, by itself, can render some enemies meaningless.17th: Not really that amazing and only available at high level, but a decent level buff.   In the end, if the party and PC do not build around these abilities it ends up being a strong, but not broken, subclass.  If, however, the PCs focus on benefitting from that extreme long distance darkvision, the bonus health, and the flying cleric ... it can be gross.</blockquote>
