MANIPULATION SPELLS

Telekinetic Manipulations

Flight
This spell allows the target to fly. The caster makes a separate success
test against a target number of 4. The number of successes multiplied by
the caster's Magic Attribute provides the target's Quickness while
flying. Distance moved includes vertical height, as well as horizontally.

Thus, if Shadowhawk (Magic 8) casts a Flight spell and gets 3 successes,
the target can effectively move as though he had a Quickness of 24! The
target could then move 18 m forward, and 6 m off the ground per turn.

Note, that while flying, the character has very little leverage, and
support. This means that all recoil penalties are _doubled_, and melee
weapons will have their Damage Category reduced by 1 level.

Type: Physical Range: Touch Target: 4
Duration: Sustained Drain: [(F / 2) + 1]S

Harsher effects are needed for melee compat while flying.

OK, how about reducing the Damage Category by 1 level, and halving the
Power of the attack?

(Always willing to fine tune spells...)

Well, I'd say something more like a +2 or +4 penalty would work.
