| Many creatures on Terra have the capacity to fly. Pyromancers can fly by expelling flames from their hands or feet, and Aeromancers can fly by guiding air currents and navigating them with a glider. There are rules governing movement while flying, which are outlined below | Many creatures on Terra have the capacity to fly.

| When flying, you have a discrete heading, which points from your current hex into one of the six surrounding hexes. You can only move into the three hexes "in front" of your character, as determined by your heading. No matter which hex you choose, your heading does not change. You can change your heading by 60°, which costs one hex of movement but does not reduce your speed. After moving straight forward at least one hex, you may change your heading again | When flying, you have a discrete heading, which points from your current hex into one of the six surrounding hexes.

| - | Creatures with the ability to hover can choose to slow their flight and enter a hovering state. To do so they must move their current speed, after which their speed is reduced to zero and they are hovering in place. Maintaining a hover in subsequent rounds requires either a swift or a move action. A swift action maintains the hover in place. If a move action is used to maintain the hover, the creature may move 1H for three seconds in any direction, even up or down. This movement must be used consecutively | + | Creatures with the ability to hover can choose to slow their flight and enter a hovering state.
