Grant Flight Spell

TheGrant Flight spellis what you needto give party membersthe temporary ability to fly. It is a Level 3 transmutation spell that targets one character at first. When this spell levels up, you can grant additional allies the ability to fly. The ability lasts 10 turns. Flying does not cost a bonus action like jumping. This means you can have a whole party of characters zipping around during combat. It can come in handy in combat areas with lots of verticality or bottomless chasms.

How to Learn Grant Flight

The Grant Flight spell can be learned by anyLevel 5 sorcerers, warlocks, wizards, and druids.Bards can also learn the spell at Level 6 or 10 by pursuing the College of Lore subclass. This allows bards to learn “Magical Secrets” by learning two spells that belong to other classes.

If you miss the Grant Flight spell through conventional leveling up, you can find Scrolls of Grant Flight. Do not waste these single-use scrolls in a fight.Wizards can learn spells directly from scrollsfor a small price of gold. Use this to your advantage if you ever accidentally skip an important spell.
