Description

You voice breathy, wind-filled words as you move your arms in light, airy patterns. At the culmination of the spell, you or the creature you touch becomes light and airy, are surrounded by buoying winds, and they let loose the shackles of the earth!
The subject can tread on air as if walking on solid ground. This is treated as Greater Flight equal to your Walk speed, with the caveat that moving upward or downward is similar to walking up a hill. The maximum upward or downward angle possible is 45 degrees, at a rate equal to half the air walker's normal speed.
Should the spell duration expire while the subject is still aloft, the magic fails slowly. The subject floats downward as if taking a Run action. If it reaches the ground in that amount of movement, it lands safely. If not, it falls the rest of the distance, taking falling damage as normal for its environment. Since dispelling a spell effectively ends it as if dismissed by the caster, the subject also descends in this way if the Air Walk spell is dispelled, but not if it is negated by an Antimagic Field (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell).
You can cast Air Walk on yourself or another subject and then you or they can ride a Mount. If they are dismounted while airborne, then both them and their mount descend as above.
A strong wind can push the subject along or hold it back. At the end of a creature's turn each round, the wind blows the air walker 5 feet for each 5 miles per hour of wind speed. The creature may be subject to additional penalties in exceptionally strong or turbulent winds, such as loss of control over movement or physical damage from being buffeted about. Trying to use this spell in winds higher than Strong is very hazardous, with the GM left to adjudicate the details.
This spell can be used to disperse Obscuring spells. Gases, fogs, and vapors that intersect the squares occupied by this spell are dispersed in those squares.

This spell lays a divine charge on its target(s). If the targets are something other than you or another creature (such as an object or area), the spell lays a divine charge on you, the caster. Targets which already have a divine charge present must choose which to keep when the new spell is cast. Only one divine charge can ever be present on a target at a time.
