+\subsubsection{Flight}
+
+Flying creatures generally have light, hollow bones, and delicate wings instead of muscular forearms -- they cannot take off into the air properly if their bodies are too heavy.
+
+For full flight, a creatures needs a higher Speed Bonus than their own Strength Bonus.
+These creatures can take off in a moment, and begin to soar at eight times their usual movement speed.
+Those with equal Bonuses can still fly, but must spend a full round sprinting at full speed in order to take off.
+Finally, heavier flying creatures can only begin a glide by first climbing somewhere high, and then leaping into the air.
+Once soaring, they can often remain in the air for some time, and even gain a little altitude.
+
+Any \gls{dr} (whether from thick hide or armour) adds half its value to the Strength Bonus, while any other type of item with a positive \gls{weight} subtracts itself from the ability to fly properly.
+
+Anyone with the Air Sphere can use this as a Bonus to aid their flight, but will have to spend 1 \gls{mp} to begin the spell.
