Flying
Make a Flying check to actively control a flying instrument like a witch’s broom or a magic carpet, and even guide it, for example, through a narrow urban canyon or an open window. This skill also applies to flying mounts, flying demons, or other creatures that can move the hero through the air. Most heroes won’t need to make checks with this skill too often, but witches who fly brooms probably will. Complex flying instruments include magic carpets, which require a magic word or a certain gesture to activate.Check: COU/INT/AGI
