I'm a pretty low-key DM when it comes to magical abilities. Subtle things don't bother me, but flashy "far out" things make me cringe for some reason when it seems out of place. Flying is one of them.The only reason is because it's a fairly low level spell that a PC can start using early on in his career. It's more of the visual effect that I imagine that bothers me more than the benefits it provides. It starts to feel too much like a comic book super hero scenario to me rather than a medieval fantasy scenario when a guy starts flying around so soon in his adventuring career. I'm not bothered by it at all at higher levels, because by then, the PCs are more super. But then, levitation doesn't bother me no matter how early on a PC does it...go figure <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" />Plus, I cringe even more when the party wizard casts fly on everyone, then casts invisibility on everyone, and they hold hands like Peter Pan, Wendy, John, & Michael, and fly over danger. Not that I mind them avoiding the danger, but damn, if I saw anyone in Lord of the Rings do it like that, it would have ruined the coolness of the movie to me. I'm trying to run a macho gritty manly game, not a Disney cartoon <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /></blockquote>
