Draught of Weightless Burst

A slender crystal vial containing a pale blue liquid that swirls like mercury, with fine silver filaments weaving through it. The stopper is carved with wind-and-cloud motifs and the scent of rain on stone lingers when uncorked.

Weightless Burst When you drink this shimmering elixir, you become weightless for 1 minute. While weightless, you gain a fly speed of 20 feet and hover. You can move in any direction without impediment from gravity, and you do not fall while the effect lasts. If you are airborne when the duration ends, you descend normally and land on solid ground. Once the effect ends, you fall if you are not supported.

Lore

In the cloudbound monasteries and trade guilds of skyfolk, weightless draughts were brewed to ferry couriers through hostile airspace. Masters of wind and glass watched as travelers slipped into a gravity-free state for a heartbeat, then rejoined the world with minutes to spare.

History

Originating in the Hollow Needle, a floating bazaar city, the draughts were once used by scouts to bypass patrols and obstacles. A legendary run during a siege saw a single cup carried along narrow thermals, allowing a messenger to deliver a critical message before the city walls could respond.
