In this state, mighty winds swirl around you, causing your hair and clothes to billow dramatically, while crackling lightning dances in an dazzling display surrounding your body. This transformation grants you the following benefits:

• An aura of formidable gusts extends in a 10-foot radius around you. Creatures of your choice that start their turn in the aura must make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, they are forcefully flung 10 feet in a direction of your choice.
• The winds carry you granting you a flying speed equal to your walking speed.

Once you use this feature you cannot do so again until after you finish a long rest.
